Default 5.7 Hemi Swap-out
Hey guys,
Quick question. Am thinking of snatching a 5.7 Hemi and tranny out of a wrecked 2004 Ram 1500 to drop in a street rod project. What was the standard tranny that was usually used. I am told it is a 4 speed with overdrive. What model ?
Thanks

You were told wrong, the automatic transmission used with the Hemi engins is a 5-speed 545RFE...
