Can Anyone Verify This?

Went by the dealer today to pickup a new cigar lighter to replace the one that quit working in my truck. While I was there I ran by the service department and asked for an oasis report. Only one claim on it from previous owner and the couple of things I've claimed. Here's my question. Do all '03 6.0L Diesels have the Torqshift Transmission? I ask this because I called over there a few weeks ago to find out which transmission I have in my truck the guy I talked to on the phone stated I had the 5R110 Transmission. Now today on my Oasis Report it states I have the Torqshift. Should I trust the guy I spoke to on the phone? Or today's Oasis Report? I'm fixing to change my transmission fluid soon and I want to make sure I put the correct fluid back in it. I've been told you can wreak havoc on the Torqshift if you put the wrong fluid in it.

Thanks Dave, here's a little more on why I was asking. I want to make sure I order the correct version from Amsoil. These are what they list for the 2003 6.0.

Automatic Transmission,W/ 4R100.....MA
Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid
Torque-Drive™ Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATD)
Automatic Transmission,5R110W.....MSP[5]
Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid
Automatic Transmission,5R110W.....MSP[5]
Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid

The guy I spoke to today at the dealer did say I need to use the SP version not the Mercon V version. So my assumption from the above is to go with the fluid for the 5R110W because it's rated for SP.

That Mercon SP stuff is expensive $10.00/qt at my local dealer. Autozone doesn't carry it.
