you have a 10 year old tranny in a pickup that's probably had the shlt kicked out of it. everyone that gets a small truck like a dakota with the big v6 gets it to beat the **** out of it. if they were going to be nice to the engine, they would have gotten one with a smaller engine.
just put some lucas in there. we put lucas in all our engines and trannies as they get old and worn.
lucas is thick so it's good for worn seals, and will buy you some more life.
just drain the transmission and fill it up with a few quarts of lucas, then top off with regular fluid to get the level right.

go to a transmission and get an estimate for a new/re-built tranny------ first thing to do is change the transmission fluid and filter and while doing that the shop can maybe tell you if there are metal shavings in the bottom of the trans. pan--if that's so your 19 year old truck needs a different tranny and that is not unusual..

Check the voltage regulator, which may be seperate from the alternator in that year vehicle. If you follow your + lead from the alternator, you should come to a box that is the regulator. A simpler method would be to take you truck to Sears and ask them to do a charging system check on it. This used to be free and only takes 10 minutes. You would also have the option to have them fix the problem.

maybe the oil and filter needs changing.the filter could be clogged up.
