I have used Amsoil AFT in every Dodge transmission I've owned for the past 7 years with out any problems. I also used Amsoil 75/90 Severe Gear Oil in my diff's and if tow a lot you could also use either 75/110 or 75/140.

 

does any one have the band adjustments for dummies I set mine to the specs and the damn thing wouldn't move, curious as to the thread on the adjustment screw is it left or right hand thread

 

Factory specs, but use at your own risk....
For a 2005 48RE....
I accept no responsibility if you damage anything
