How To Add Tranny Fluid?

Can anyone tell me how to add trans. fluid to my automatic transmission? It's a 2001 Ram 1500, 4x4 with a 5.2. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Through the transmission dipstick tube. Just make sure to use a funnel.

Also make sure the trans is hot and in (N) with the E brake on , only use ATF +4 or equal to it..

Trans fluid expands when hot , So that you dont overfill it , which its just as worse as under filled...
