Key Features

This transmission and torque converter package incorporates numerous technical advancements to ensure durability and performance:

• Hard anodized valve body with a new solenoid pack installed in every unit for reliable operation
• Custom valve body separator plate with gaskets to increase line pressure and prevent internal cross leaks
• Heavy-duty cam and roller design low reverse one-way clutch for improved durability
• New 4C billet spring retainer and steel girdle added to the 2C piston to support more clutches and a broader apply area
• BD durable QT100 pressure plates that increase clutch counts and reduce deflection and distortion within the clutch drum
• 33% increase in overdrive and 2C clutch capacity for enhanced torque handling
• Custom Big Stack overdrive shaft and reinforced accumulator plate for added strength
• TCC limit valve machined and sleeved to address high wear areas within the pump
• BD Deep sump oil pan for increased fluid capacity, improved cooling, and reduced case flex
• BD ProTech68 pressure control module that ramps line pressure up to 250 psi using MAP sensor input for load-based pressure adjustment
• Billet input shaft engineered to withstand rapid throttle snaps and high horsepower loads
• Torque converter with enhanced stall, machined pistons, heavy-duty springs, and a self-centering teeth design to reduce wear and chatter
• Stamp forged one-piece cover to eliminate warpage from clutch heat and allow for more frequent rebuilds
• Furnaced brazed fins inside the converter reduce internal leakage and improve fluid coupling efficiency

Construction & Design

BD Diesel’s 68RFE transmission is built with precision and durability in mind. The hard anodized valve body and custom separator plate improve hydraulic efficiency and reliability. The use of billet components such as the spring retainer and input shaft enhances strength and resistance to failure under high-stress conditions. Steel girdles and reinforced accumulator plates add structural integrity, allowing the transmission to handle increased clutch counts and higher line pressures without compromise.

The torque converter’s machined pistons and heavy-duty springs absorb engagement shock, while the self-centering teeth design reduces wear and vibration. The stamp forged one-piece cover resists warpage from heat, extending the life of the clutch assembly and enabling easier rebuilds. Additionally, the deep sump oil pan increases fluid volume and cooling capacity, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures during heavy use.

Installation & Fitment

This transmission and torque converter assembly is a direct fit replacement for 2WD Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with 5.9L and 6.7L diesel engines from model years 2007 to 2018. Installation requires standard transmission removal and replacement procedures with no major modifications necessary. The billet input shaft and upgraded components ensure compatibility with factory drivetrains while providing enhanced durability for high-performance applications.
