Default transmission

I have a 98 ram 1500 5.9 4x4 with a bad transmission. Will a 99 durango 5.9 4x4 transmission fit in it?

If it has a 46RE in it, it should physically bolt up, might be some wiring differences though. Not sure on that. Dodge did some strange things with wiring over the years...

That's because they were both 2000 models.

I decided to try the Durango transmission because I got an excellent deal on it. It fit perfect, everything matched up, no changes were needed. The only physical difference was the splash shield. I used the Durango splash shield and everything fit perfectly. Thanks again!
