Default Transmission fluid (synthetic)

Hi. Does anyone know of an alternative for the transmission fluid called for in the 5600 manual 6-speed transmission? It's in a 2005 3500 4x4 if that makes any difference. The dealer says there is only one type that can be used. Made, of course, by them. Also, for differential and transfer case fluids, what would you recommend. I want to lube it up front to back with synthetic fluid. My truck's gotta last me. I've already got 120,000 miles on it, and another 2 1/2 years on the contract with Chrysler Financial. lol. Thanks!

Just one thing if your Manual Transmission is a G56 then you need to use Synthetic ATF. I just want to make sure as some people talk like the G56 is the same as the NV 5600.
