65RFE Pressure Control Solenoid, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 65RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
The 65RFE is the six-speed RFE behind the 4.7L and 5.7L gas engines in the Ram 1500, Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee, and when one starts slamming into drive, slipping on upshifts or setting a line pressure code, owners go looking for a 65RFE pressure control solenoid. Chrysler never made that solenoid as a separate part. It is built into the solenoid and pressure switch assembly bolted to the valve body, and this listing is that complete assembly: a remanufactured Mopar pack with the gray pass-through connector, shown in the photo with its Mopar box.
All RFE units shift purely on computer command. To decide how hard each clutch is applied, the controller sets a target line pressure, commands a variable force solenoid inside this pack, and reads a line pressure sensor to see what it actually got. GEARS Magazine lays out the hydraulics: the solenoid feeds oil to the end land of the pump pressure regulator valve, so more duty cycle means lower line pressure and less duty cycle means higher pressure. With the solenoid off, pressure goes to maximum. That fail-high design protects the clutches, but it is also why a failed solenoid usually feels harsh rather than soft.
The same pack holds the shift solenoids and the pressure switches the controller uses to confirm each clutch actually applied, so a pack fault can show up as a pressure complaint, a shift complaint, or both.
Confirm the fluid level with the transmission hot and look at the filter installation, since low fluid or a poorly seated filter starves the pump and imitates a solenoid fault. Next, compare desired and actual line pressure on a scan tool and test the solenoid and harness at the pack. A coil and circuit that test good with pressure that will not come up point to the pump or valve body. The RFE solenoid testing guide covers the electrical checks, which are the same procedure across the RFE family, and the P0871 pressure switch guide explains how to read the switch data.
This pack is listed for the 65RFE without a year range, and the connector color tells you whether it belongs in your transmission. GEARS Magazine dates the 65RFE to 2012 in Durango, Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 models; Sonnax reports the RFE pack connector was gray from 2010 until it changed to blue in 2019. If the pack you are removing is gray, this is the matching design. If it is blue, your unit is a 2019-up build and needs a different pack and gasket. A white connector belongs to the earlier six-solenoid design; the gray pack cannot be fitted to those units. For a pack listed by year, compare the 65RFE pack for 2010-2018, and send us your VIN if you want it checked. Our RFE parts are grouped on the RFE transmission parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
GEARS Magazine lists the Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 with the 4.7L and 5.7L engines. Ram 2500 and Power Wagon models use the 66RFE instead.
No. On RFE transmissions the line pressure solenoid is a variable force solenoid built into the solenoid pack, so the full pack is the service part.
Look at the 23-pin connector on the pack you are removing. Gray matches this part. Blue means a 2019-up unit and white means the older six-solenoid design; neither takes this pack.
Use ATF+4, check the level hot, then clear codes and perform the quick learn with a capable scan tool.
It will if line pressure is stuck high because of the solenoid. If desired and actual pressure match on the scan tool, the cause is elsewhere, such as clutch wear or adaptive values that need a relearn.
