Two different 8HP70 transmissions

[2023RAM1500ds]

Hi guys I was watching a U.S. show and they said 2024 RAM classic... i was like whoaaaaaaaat?

So i went to the RAMTRUCKS site and sure enough there in the States they're still making them...
whereas here in canada 2023 was the last year of the classics.

Anyways i was randomly doing a build and noticed that it gives two options for the 8HP70 transmission with the 5.7.

Is this true??? if you look at the engine pictures on the lower right side and the corresponding description on the lower left it does say in one description one is more efficient.

Were there actually 2 8hp70 transmissions or is it just a glitch on their website?

If you look at the two pictures, when you select and click the two 8hp70s the description changes a bit.

There's 2 differant versions of the 8 speed,but it depends on whether you have a 4X4 or 2X4.The 4X4's use a differant output shaft for the transfer case,while the 2X4's use a flange that the driveshaft bolts to.

so it's basically the same transmission, just a different output shaft housing on the 4x4 ?
Is the 3.6 V6 and the 5.7 Hemi the same 8 speed transmission ?

Nope,the 3.6 uses the light duty 845 varient of the 8 speed.
