2017 Ram 1500 transmission type by engine
The transmission depends on the engine and how the truck was built. Use this table to narrow it down, then confirm the exact unit with your VIN. It is not a stock list.
| Engine | Transmission | Before you request a replacement |
|---|---|---|
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 | 8-speed automatic (TorqueFlite 8) | Confirm 2WD or 4WD and the transmission part number. |
| 5.7L HEMI V8 | 8-speed automatic, or 6-speed 65RFE on some trucks | Check which one your truck has. The 8-speed and 6-speed are not interchangeable without major changes. |
| 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 | 8-speed automatic (8HP70) | Match the diesel application. A gas-engine 8-speed is a different unit. |
Transmission pairing varies by engine, trim and build. Mopar catalog listings are referenced for the 65RFE and 8HP70 applications. Sources: Ram pickup engine reference (Wikipedia); Mopar catalog: 2017 Ram 1500 5.7L 65RFE 6-speed listing; Mopar catalog: 2017 Ram 1500 3.0L diesel 8HP70 listing.
Ram 1500 65RFE transmission
Some 5.7L HEMI trucks were built with the 6-speed 65RFE. If yours is one of them, you need a matching 65RFE. Confirm it from the transmission tag before you order.

Same truck name.
Different transmissions.
A used 2017 Ram 1500 transmission has to match the engine, drivetrain and transmission type your truck was built with. Most trucks use the 8-speed automatic; some 5.7L HEMI trucks use the 6-speed 65RFE. Confirm the VIN, transmission tag and what is included before ordering.
Ram 1500 Classic trucks sold from 2019 shared this generation’s design, but production details still differ. Match the part number, not just the model name or a year range in a listing.

What transmission is in a 2017 Ram 1500?
Most 2017 Ram 1500 trucks use an 8-speed automatic. Some 5.7L HEMI trucks were built with the 6-speed 65RFE. The 3.0L EcoDiesel uses the 8HP70 8-speed. Your VIN and transmission tag confirm which one you have.
How much does a used Ram 1500 transmission cost?
It depends on the transmission type, condition, documented mileage, what is included and current availability. Call with your VIN for a quote, then compare the delivered total, any core charge, and installation and programming costs.
Can I replace a 6-speed with an 8-speed?
Not as a simple swap. The 8-speed and 6-speed use different hardware and electronics. Replace like with like unless your installer has planned and priced a conversion.
Does a used transmission need programming?
Some replacements need programming or a relearn after installation. Ask your installer before you buy, and make sure that cost is in your repair estimate.

We serve US customers from owned inventory and supplier sourcing. Give us your ZIP code to confirm shipping eligibility, freight access and timing. Warranty options up to three years are offered. Confirm the written coverage, exclusions, installation requirements and return terms for your unit.
