I did contact Redline, Royal Purple, & Valvoline at that time and all said they did not offer a cross for the OEM Mopar fluid. The Redline C+ is their offering in lieu of ATF+4 and the individual I contacted at Redline advised to use the OEM Mopar TC fluid in my TC. My posts on that are in the BITOG archives. I wound up purchasing OEM fluid for about US $20 / qt off eBay from a Mopar dealership.
FWIW my 2012 Ram OM specifies 64K miles as the TC fluid severe service interval and 128K miles as the standard service interval. I plan to replace my TC fluid and both differentials around 64K miles, which will also be my point for a second ATF & PS fluid change.
YMMV
It was just confirmed today that indeed the Amsoil ATF will work/is fully compatible for use in my Transfer Case so that is the route/fluid I will most likely be using.

I also talked to my buddy today, with the garage, and we will likely be doing this, plus spark plugs, diff fluids, tranny fluid/filters in the next few weeks to a month if all goes well?
I may just stick with Amsoil for all the fluids, depending on the price of course, or go with Mobil or Pennzoil for my diffs?
I'll see what my buddy has to say first and how easy it is to get the Amsoil products as I think he has a connection?
I also have a connection at Car Quest so I may just use him for some/all as well?
