I have a 04 Ram Hemi, but im unsure of which type of transmission i have (45rfe or the 545rfe) is there a way to check??

 

I'm pretty sure it's the 545 tranny behind the Hemi. The other is used behind the 4.7L and whatever else.

 

I have heard all kinds of stories regarding the 5-45 tranny, ie; it breaks down around 40 to 50 k miles, and that it has probs with service......does anyone know how it stands up....?? also what probs do arise, and what to do to prevent them....

simply put, how good is the 5-45 tranny?????????

 

Guess we'll see.
