You can run either ATF or 68 hydraulic fluid.... difference is ATF boils quicker.... 68 Hydraulic fluid is designed to run under extreme pressure and high heat that the cylinder will produce over the old steering box....

My suggestion Hydraulic fliud if you have some .... also run a cooler in the steer system...

most ram manufactures specify hydrolic oil and NOT atf.
I'd check with PSC first.
