Dodge 68RFE, 545RFE, 45RFE Deep Transmission Pan

For 68RFE Applications Vehicles with this new 6 speed 68RFE automatic transmission include the 2007 and newer Dodge Ram 2500 & 3500 trucks with diesel engine. This pan fits both 2 and 4 wheel drive trucks. This pan will not fit the new Ram 3500 HD cab & chassis model which has an Aisin transmission. Vehicles with the 45RFE and 545RFE transmission include the Ram 1500 with the 4.7 or Hemi engines, Ram 2500 with the Hemi engine, 2000 and newer Dakota and Durango with the 4.7 engines, 1999 and newer Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4.7 engines, and Liberty CRD. This is a direct replacement for the stock pan with the following exceptions:

• Ram 2500 – The exhaust crossover pipe is routed underneath the back part of the pan instead of in front of it like the 1500. The pipe must be rerouted downwards 1" in order to prevent it from hitting the pan. Aftermarket exhaust systems are routed differently.
• Dakota and Durango 4 wheel drive – The frame crossmember behind the transmission pan will interfere with a larger pan.
• Jeep Liberty CRD – Requires removal of the factory skid plate, or addition of spacers to move the skid plate downward away from the transmission. Durango 2005 and newer: Hemi-powered versions have a large catalytic converter in front of and underneath the transmission pan. As such, this pan cannot be used with the stock exhaust.

General Information for Both Applications This pan features internal baffles to ensure the filter remains immersed. Because the baffles keep the oil near the pickup tube, a filter extension is not needed. Overall depth is about 1" more than stock, and the baffles take up the difference between stock & this depth. Volume: 3 1/8 qts. over stock for 2WD, 2 1/2 qts. over stock for 4WD Transmission Pan Features:

• Increased oil capacity for cooler temperatures
• Sand-cast aluminum with raised fins
• 3/16-inch thick wall construction to add strength to the transmission case
• 3/8-inch thick gasket flange will not bend when bolts are tightened
• Machined gasket surface for a secure seal
• 1/8" NPT hole for a temperature sending unit is standard on this pan.
• Magnetic drain plug for easier, less messy maintenance
