You didn't say what the Ram's engine is, if it is a V8 yes it will work. You also didn't say if yours or the Ram is 2wd 4wd, as long as it is the same it will work.

If memory serves correctly, you are replacing a 46rh, with a 46rh. The rh transmission has two- three prong wiring points, whereas the 46re has the 8 way plug just behind the selector on the driver's side. The only thing that may be different is the speedo gear inside the cable attachment.

The park neutral safety switch or the transmission rod needs adjustment.
