Default Will a 99 Ram 2500 5.9 gas transmission work in a 99 Dakota R/T

I wasn't sure if I should post here or in the Dakota section. Both trucks are automatics with gas 5.9s and two wheel drive. I just need to know if the transmissions are the same and interchangeable, I'm not sure if the output shafts would be the same between the Ram and the Dakota. Thanks for the help.

Both are, from what I've been able to discern, are 46RE's. Should work.

I'm not sure what the "R/T" designation means, but I think it should drop in too.

The R/T's had 5.9's in them. Same as all the other 5.9's so it will work. The R/T means road or track, It was first used in the muscle car era and dodge brought it back.

Just thought I'd ask because I found an interchange online that didn't list the Ram transmission for the Dakota only Dakotas and Durangos.
