65RFE Pump 2007, used and ready to install. Fits the 65RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 2007 Ram 1500, Durango, Grand Cherokee or Commander with the 4.7L or 5.7L V8 takes a few seconds to grab Reverse, has to be revved before it will creep once it is hot, or howls with engine speed in Park, the front pump is high on the list. This is a used OEM pump assembly listed for 2007 RFE applications. It is a factory-built unit rather than an aftermarket copy, priced well below a remanufactured pump for owners who want a correct original part to drop in.
Chrysler did not use the 65RFE name until the 2012 model year, when the five-speed 545RFE was recalibrated and retagged 65RFE for the Ram 1500, Durango and Grand Cherokee. A 2007 vehicle with this transmission left the factory tagged 545RFE. The pump is the same type of part either way, which is why the listing carries the later family name, but it matters for the fitment check below because the pump itself changed during those years.
The RFE pump is a gear pump bolted to the front of the case and driven by the torque converter hub, so it spins at engine speed. It pulls fluid from the pan through the pickup filter and turns it into main line pressure for every clutch in the unit. The pump body and cover also house the pressure regulator valve, the TCC regulator and switch valves, and the TC limit valve, which is why a worn pump can cause converter clutch complaints as well as slipping. The early 45RFE and 545RFE pumps also had a known weak spot: Transmission Digest documented that the spacer plate screws on the earlier design sit in a main line pressure passage, and a loose or missing screw dumps enough pressure that the vehicle will barely creep. Later pumps had those holes cast shut.
Check the fluid level hot first; a low RFE pulls air with the fluid and acts like a dead pump. Make sure the filter seal is not doubled up or missing. Then compare desired and actual line pressure with a scan tool. A P0868 with a matching low actual reading points to supply, while P0934 or P0935 point to the pressure sensor circuit instead. Our 45RFE and 545RFE pump failure guide covers the full test order, and the 545RFE Ram 1500 common problems guide lists the other faults that mimic a pump on these trucks.
This pump is listed for 2007. In that model year the 545RFE was used behind the 4.7L and 5.7L V8 in Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep trucks and SUVs, while the four-speed 45RFE was still used in some other models. Sonnax sells two different remanufactured RFE pump assemblies, one covering 45RFE and 545RFE units and a second covering later 545RFE, 65RFE and 66RFE units, and it notes lube circuit and pump casting changes documented in an ATSG bulletin. In other words, not every RFE pump bolts in and works the same. Compare the casting, stator support and spacer plate on your old pump with the photos, or send us your year and VIN so we can confirm it before shipping. If you are not sure which RFE you have, the 45RFE vs 545RFE guide helps, and the 545RFE parts page shows everything we carry for these units.
If the old pump left metal in the pan, plan on fresh seals and frictions at the same time with a 65RFE overhaul kit for 1999-2018, and consider a transmission cooler if the vehicle tows or ran hot.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The 65RFE name only started in 2012, so every 2007 vehicle with this family carries the 545RFE or 45RFE tag. The listing is for 2007 applications, but pump designs changed during the 545RFE run, so compare your old pump with the photos or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm it.
A worn pump, or an early-design pump with a loose spacer plate screw in the line pressure passage, can only build enough pressure to apply the clutches at higher engine speed. Low fluid and a bad filter seal can cause the same thing, so check those first.
A used OEM pump is a lower-cost way to get a correct factory part. Inspect it before installing: the gears should turn freely, the bushing and pocket faces should be smooth, and any spacer plate screws should be tight. If your transmission has heavy wear elsewhere, a remanufactured pump may be the better choice.
ATF+4. Prime the new pump before first start and set the final level in Park with the fluid fully warm, since a cold reading leads to overfilling.
A new front seal at minimum, plus a flushed cooler and lines and fresh fluid and filter. If the pan has clutch material or metal, add an overhaul kit with new seals and frictions.
