    What kind of manual trans fluid ?

    I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 with the 5.2. Its a 5 speed. Replacing the tranny I was wondering what brand fluid should I put in the trans. From what I've seen the only real fluid for this truck is the Mopar brand. I was thinking about the Royal purple. Is it any count ?? Sent from my LGL64VL...
