PPE Transmission Pan

2007–2024 Dodge Ram 6.7L Cummins 68RFE

228052120

Overview:

The PPE Transmission Pan for Dodge Ram 6.7L Cummins equipped with the 68RFE 6-speed automatic transmission is engineered to enhance transmission durability and cooling performance. Designed for model years 2007 through 2024, this heavy-duty cast aluminum pan addresses the critical issue of excessive heat buildup that can drastically shorten transmission life. By increasing fluid capacity and improving heat dissipation, it helps maintain optimal transmission temperatures under demanding driving conditions, making it an essential upgrade for owners seeking reliability and longevity in their trucks.

Ideal for enthusiasts, fleet operators, and anyone who pushes their Dodge Ram hard—whether towing, hauling, or off-roading—this transmission pan provides peace of mind by protecting your transmission from premature wear and failure caused by heat stress.

Key Features:

This PPE transmission pan incorporates advanced design elements and premium materials to deliver superior performance and protection:

• Constructed from high-grade A356.0-T6 cast aluminum alloy for strength and durability
• Increases transmission fluid capacity by 3 quarts to improve heat management
• Deep external cooling fins maximize surface area for efficient heat dissipation
• Built-in internal baffles enhance fluid contact with aluminum surfaces, boosting heat transfer and reducing fluid sloshing
• Cross-bracing structure formed by longitudinal fins and baffles increases impact resistance and structural rigidity
• Drain plug equipped with a high-temperature-rated neodymium magnet to capture ferrous metal particles and protect transmission internals
• Includes PPE Deep Spin-On Filter with 57% larger media area and finer filtration for cleaner transmission fluid
• Designed specifically for the Dodge Ram 6.7L Cummins 68RFE transmission for a precise fit

Construction & Design:

The transmission pan is precision cast from premium A356.0-T6 aluminum alloy, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and thermal conductivity. This material choice ensures the pan withstands harsh operating conditions while effectively dissipating heat. The deep external cooling fins significantly increase the surface area exposed to air, allowing heat to escape quickly and keeping transmission fluid temperatures in check.

Internally, the pan features strategically placed baffles that not only improve heat transfer by increasing fluid contact with the aluminum but also minimize fluid movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering. This design maintains consistent fluid pickup, preventing starvation and ensuring stable transmission operation. The combination of external fins and internal baffles creates a stiff, cross-braced structure that enhances impact resistance and durability.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation of the PPE transmission pan is straightforward for experienced technicians and knowledgeable DIYers familiar with transmission service. It is designed to bolt directly onto Dodge Ram trucks from 2007 through 2024 equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine and 68RFE transmission. Some applications may require slight bending of the metal transmission lines to achieve proper clearance—refer to the provided technical drawings for exact specifications.

All necessary sealing surfaces and mounting points are engineered for a precise fit, ensuring leak-free installation and reliable long-term performance.

What's Included:

• Heavy-duty cast aluminum transmission pan with cooling fins and internal baffles
