Default Transmission swap info needed

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 with ongoing transmission issues. It has the 545RFE transmission and 5.7 Hemi.
I found a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 545RFE transmission and the 4.7 engine.
Will this transmission need any changes or have possible issues with this swap?
I appreciate any help or information,
Scott

Same trans. You will have to swap a few things around if one is 2wd and the other 4wd (you didn't specify). Install and do a quick learn (this is non-negotiable).

Sorry, both are 2wd.
What would a quick learn consist of?
(I did research on the quick learn process)
I appreciate your help.

Need a DRBIII dealer level scanner or equivalent to reset the CVI in the TCM.
