The recommendation is plainly stated in the owner's manual.
If you don't have yours, a PDF is available at mopar.com

 

i tried that. maybe im in the wrong section... looked around page 536 ish.

 

It’s actually in The Diesel Supplement.....
#ad

 

Have no idea what specific page it's on, but it is in there somewhere.
Takes all the guesswork and opinion out of it.

IIRC though, it takes ATF+4 just like the 68RFE.
But, look it up to verify.

 

The 2500’s and 3500’s have spec’ed the BW44 fluid since 2013 at least...

 

That's why I suggested he verify what it takes.

Amsoil Universal Automatic Transmission fluid is what I put in my 1500 transfer case. It meets the specs required from what I read. Less $ per quart too I believe.

 

I also use Amsoil ATF. It has the part number for BW44-44, 68089195AA, on the bottle.

It’s in the owners manual too, page 618 of my 2018 manual.

 

thanks fellas for the replies. merry christmas !

 

Merry Christmas!

 

Along with everything that has been posted......I did heed the suggestion of @jhenderson and have been running Dexron VI from O’Reilly Auto in my 2018 4500. I have always changed it at the same interval as my transmission sump filter interval (60,000 miles plus or minus) and it is still doing great; clicked over 286,000 miles just yesterday. Going off memory....the Dexron VI at O’Reilly is about $7.99 per quart.

 

I use the AMZ/OIL Signature series ATF in my AISIN and TransferCase.
