* Transmission Type: The amount of fluid varies depending on the specific transmission in your truck. You'll need to identify the transmission model (e.g., 46RE, 46RH, etc.) to get the right capacity.
* Fluid Level: The transmission fluid level should be checked when the engine is at operating temperature.
How to Find the Right Amount:
1. Locate Your Transmission: Look for a sticker on your transmission itself that indicates the model number. You can also check the owner's manual or online resources like the Dodge Ram forum for your year and model.
2. Check a Repair Manual: A repair manual specific to your vehicle will provide the exact fluid capacity for your transmission.
3. Contact a Mechanic: Your local mechanic or a Dodge dealership service department can easily tell you the correct amount for your truck.
Important Note: Always use the correct transmission fluid type as specified by the manufacturer. Using the wrong fluid can damage your transmission.
