BD Diesel ProTect68 Pressure Control Kit

2007–2019 Dodge/Ram 5.9L & 6.7L Diesel

Part #: 1030362

Overview

The BD Diesel ProTect68 Pressure Control Kit is engineered to enhance the durability and performance of stock transmissions in Dodge and Ram diesel trucks from 2007 to 2019. Designed specifically for 5.9L and 6.7L engines, this kit significantly increases clutch holding force, reducing the risk of slippage under high torque conditions. Ideal for diesel enthusiasts seeking to protect their transmission without extensive modifications, the ProTect68 kit offers a reliable upgrade that extends transmission life while supporting increased power demands.

By delivering up to 150% of the original clutch holding force, this kit ensures your transmission can handle elevated line pressures and engine loads with confidence. Its dynamic pressure control adapts to turbo boost and engine load in real time, providing optimal hydraulic pressure without the need for tuning or transmission pump alterations.

Key Features

The ProTect68 Pressure Control Kit incorporates advanced technology and robust components to deliver superior transmission protection and performance:

• Delivers up to 150% of clutch holding force compared to stock transmissions, preventing clutch slippage under high torque.
• Industry-leading custom bonded gasket valve body separator plate and gaskets reduce cross leaks significantly, even at elevated line pressures.
• Heavy-duty accumulator plate designed to prevent accumulator blow-out, enhancing transmission reliability.
• Electronic Pressure Control module capable of delivering up to 250 PSI clutch apply pressure for maximum holding power.
• Dynamic pressure adjustment based on turbo boost and engine load for precise hydraulic control without manual tuning.
• Installation does not require transmission pump modification or removal, preserving factory components.
• Compatible with stock transmissions capable of handling up to 450 horsepower.
• Supports Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with 5.9L and 6.7L diesel engines from 2007 through 2019.

Construction & Design

The ProTect68 kit features a custom bonded gasket valve body separator plate engineered to minimize hydraulic fluid cross leaks, a common cause of transmission inefficiency and wear. The heavy-duty accumulator plate is constructed to withstand the increased pressures generated by the enhanced clutch apply force, preventing premature failure. The electronic pressure control module is precisely calibrated to modulate clutch apply pressure dynamically, ensuring consistent performance under varying engine loads and boost conditions. All components are designed for durability and seamless integration with the factory transmission system.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the BD Diesel ProTect68 Pressure Control Kit is straightforward and typically takes between 2 to 3 hours. The process does not require removal of the transmission or modifications to the transmission pump, making it a practical upgrade for both professional shops and experienced DIYers. Since the kit does not alter internal transmission tolerances, a full transmission relearn procedure is not necessary after installation. This kit fits the following vehicles:

• 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L Diesel
• 2008–2010 Dodge Ram 2500 6.7L Diesel
• 2008–2010 Dodge Ram 3500 6.7L Diesel
• 2011–2019 Ram 2500 6.7L Diesel
• 2011–2019 Ram 3500 6.7L Diesel
