If it's a 5.9L gas engine it will be a 46RE, and if it is a diesel it will be a 47RE. Either way have it upgraded so your not pulling it back out in another 60-70K miles to have the seals done in it again. The most common failure in them is the seals go out, and then it takes the clutches out in short order due to pressure loss from blown seals. Don't cheap out and not do the upgraded seals and a shift kit while it's out though, you will thank yourself down the road.

46RE trans then. I would go with at least a good TRANSTAR convertor, and give the guys at GOERAND transmissions a call and see what he reccoemnds for upgrades as he is THE authority on DODGE truck trannies.

On a serious note....if funds are limited one out of a yard may be the cheapest way to go. But it's another. Chrysler tranny..... So never know how long it will last.

Ive put trannys in any GM Ive ownded with 150K plus on em too and my Dakota mad it to 175 with no issues before I totaled it. Dads Ram has 220 on it and he replaced it around 140, pretty standard IMO.
