According to my owners manual on my 2001 1500 Ram all 1500's have NV3500 TRANS. 2500'S have NV4500. I think that was the case with your truck too. Do you start in 1st or 2nd gear. Manual recomends starting in 2nd for NV4500 owners as 1st is a "granny" gear for pulling situations. NV3500 owners start in 1st.

Correct -- my brother's '99 2500 has the NV4500, my '04 1500 has the NV3500.
