Am I able to use an edge torque converter on my 2013 ram express? I can't figure out which transmission it has

simplest way to ID an 8 speed transmission ...the shift selector is a dash mounted knob






You have to know which trans you have first, 6 speed is fine,
The new ZF 8 Speed has a specialized twin torsional damper system
that controls various couplings via the PCM/TCM.

It will be a long time, if ever, that you can get an aftermarket TC for an 8 speed.

The torque converters which are produced at ZF's location in Schweinfurt, play a major role when it comes to the quality of the 8-speed automatic transmission. Owing to the latest torsional vibration damper technology, converter slip can be bridged at a very early stage already without compromising comfort – this increases the transmission's efficiency and reduces consumption. The advantages of the 8HP convince more and more automotive manufacturers worldwide: ZF is currently building a transmission plant in Greenville/South Carolina, USA, to fulfill a supply and license agreement with Chrysler.

Thank you!! Great information!! I just found out the 2013 ram express is only available in the 6 speed

Yers, only '14's have the optional 8 speed.

Does anyone know how well the factory 6 speed auto trans on my 2013 1500 express will hold up with the new procharger kit?

Flip a coin, and wish it good luck

It won't

what can i do to make it hold up?

Buy an upgraded transmission and learn how to rebuild them on a bench.

I think his original question is, which transmission does he have? The 45 55 65 66 68? And how do you tell them apart?

Six speed, so should be 65RFE
