I have looked on every sticker and ID plate on this 1999 Dodge RAM 1500 5.2L and cannot find the letters DGT anywhere. The only place I have been able to find nomenclature regarding the transmission is on a sticker taped under the hood with the letters "DGB" but this only says "Standard Duty Transmission". According to the shop manual for this truck the "body code plate" that is riveted to the frame housing the radiator is supposed to have the 3 digit code stamped on positions 13 thru 15 on row 4. There are no letters in this area of the "body code plate" on my truck. I can find all the other codes on this plate shown in the shop manual but the transmission code identification is not there. Does anyone know where I can find the information that is supposed to be stamped on line 4 positions 13, 14 & 15?

DGB $$ All 4-Speed Automatic Transmissions
DGT is used in conjunction with what motor it was paired with. Both of these are on the sticker under the hood of my Indy. The early trucks had this under the hood the later ones on the glove box from my understanding(don't have one). If you look for the engine code (on the ID tag on the radiator support) it will tell you what motor and trans it was paired with.

I know there are other threads on this subject so maybe using the "search threads" feature at the top right side of the page may be helpful.
