Here is the info I found for my '06 Ram, may be different for yours. You need to know which trans you have:
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Service Fill - 42RLE 3.8L (4.0 qts)
Overhaul Fill - 42RLE 8.3L (17.6 pts)L
Service Fill - 45RFE/545RFE
4X2 - 5.2 L (11.0 pts.)
4X4 - 6.2 L (13.0 pts.)
Overhaul - 45RFE/545RFE 14-16 L (29-33 pts.) L
Service Fill - 48RE 3.8 L (4.0 qts.)
Overhaul - 48RE 14-16L (29-33 pts.) L
