* 4-speed automatic (46RH/47RE): This was a common automatic transmission across various engine options. The 46RH and 47RE are very similar, with the 47RE being a later, slightly improved version.
* 5-speed manual (NV3500): A 5-speed manual was also available in many models.
To know for certain what transmission is in a specific 1999 Dodge Ram, you'll need to check:
* The vehicle's identification number (VIN): This can be decoded to reveal the transmission type.
* The sticker under the hood: Sometimes, this sticker lists the transmission type.
* The owner's manual: If available, this will specify the transmission.
* The transmission itself: Look for markings cast into the transmission housing. (This requires access to the transmission, and identifying the markings requires some familiarity with transmission codes).
Without knowing the specific trim level and engine of the truck, it's impossible to say with certainty which transmission it has.
