For your 2011 Dodge Ram we do not have any vehicle specific adapters to fit transmission coolers like the part # D13504 that you referenced. Reason being you only need the one adapter that comes with the kit to make both connections. I attached a picture for you to check out that shows how both of the transmission cooler lines of your vehicle and kit get made. You can see that the included rubber line fits over the return line of the transmission and is tightened to it with a band clamp.
