Hey everyone,
I've owned my 2015 RAM 1500 since January and have run into what seems like a fairly common issue.

My shifter solenoid has gone bad, giving me a P0750 code. I asked the shop to read the code and I plan on swapping the solenoid myself.

My issue is that I can't figure out what transmission I have, and what fluid I need to buy for it.

It's a -
2015 Ram 1500 Tradesman, quad cab
5.7 Hemi
6 speed transmission

From what I've read it's a 65RFE in the Tradesman but in my owners manual, it says it's a 68RFE.

I don't think it matters for the solenoid, but I'm also trying to figure out what tranny fluid to put into it. I believe it's ATF+4.

So -
Which transmission is in a 6 speed 5.7L tradesman 1500?
and
What transmission fluid to use once I'm done swapping the solenoid?

Thanks for the help in advance.

68rfe is in the 2500 and bigger trucks. You have the 65rfe.
