Just bringing this topic up again given there really isn't any explanation out there that I can find that makes the borg-warner 44-44 T-case on Rams older than 2016 different than 2016+ 44-44? Externally they look identical and they function the same.
The owner's manual for ANY year Ram with the 44-44 simply says "Mopar 44-44 transfer case fluid is recommended".
I didn't realize until today that there's two different part number Mopar fluids. Same bottle and labeling. The older fluid is red like ATF and I've read online (u know how accurate that can be) that the 2016+ stuff is dyed blue? Can anyone confirm this?
FWIW, this magical juice in either part number is like $30/qt. All you need is 1.5qts so cost isn't really a problem, I just hate dealer only and not having choices once you're out of warranty.
I'm at about 46K miles on the 2017 Ram in my sig and would like to do the diffs and T-case soon. 8HP45 trans after that.
