I purchased 2 quarts of Mopar 68089195AA Transfer Case Lubricant for Borg Warner 44-44 Transfer Case on Ebay for $36.00 with free shipping. Also works for the Borg Warner 44-45 Transfer case. Shop around. The Stealership is the last place I would go. Not sure what the Amsoil lube costs, but the Mopar stuff is synthetic as well. -Glen

I got Redline for my upcoming diff fluid change. I ordered 75W140 for the rear, 75W85 for the front per the manual (only Mopar and Redline make 75W85), but I ordered a bottle of their friction modifier too. It meets the specs of the Mopar FM and IDK if I really need it, but I want it just in case the oil doesn't have quite enough blended in. I don't think it'll really be a problem though since IIRC its a pretty standard proportion.



The 44-45 uses ATF+4

I don't know about that. I had the dealer run my Vin# and I have a BW44-45 transfer case. Also Amsoil's website lists the same fluid for the BW44-44 & BW44-45 transfer cases with the Mopar equivalent being 68089195AA. http://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2012/ram/1500-pickup/4915431/us-volume/ . -Glen

See this from MoparOverstock.com: http://www.moparpartsoverstock.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=897942&ukey_product=10709874 . Do you want to run ATF+4? -Glen

I am at about 52,000 and will be changing my axles and t case soon. This will be the first time I've ever changed diff or t case fluid on a vehicle.



Laramies come with the 44-44 with the auto 4wd.

Thunderhorse, Thanks for the clarification. I did crawl under my truck and could not locate a tag on the transfer case, that's why I had a dealership run my Vin. #. I thought I had the BW 44-44 transfer case. I was surprised that I was told otherwise. Yesterday, I crawled under my truck, and finally found a barely readable sticker that confirmed I do have the BW 44-44 transfer case, and not the BW 44-45 part time transfer case. I have read my owner's manual and it states that ATF+4 is recommended for all transfer cases except the BW 44-44 transfer case. On the plus side, I bought the correct fluid for my transfer case, and what I've learned is the Dodge dealers here on Long Island are a bunch of morons. So be skeptical of the dealer parts departments, and don't believe what you read on internet dealer websites. Thanks very much. Regards, Glen
