65RFE Tcc Solenoid 2010-2018, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 65RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
Owners of a Ram 1500, Dodge Durango or Jeep Grand Cherokee with the six-speed 65RFE usually land here after a converter shudder at cruise, a truck stuck in one gear at 30-45 mph with the check engine light on, or a TCC slip code. On the 65RFE the torque converter clutch is not run by a stand-alone solenoid. It is controlled by the low/reverse-TCC solenoid inside the gray-connector solenoid pack, and this remanufactured 2010-2018 pack is the part that replaces it.
The 65RFE belongs to the same RFE hydraulic family as the 45RFE, 545RFE, 66RFE and 68RFE. In that family one solenoid in the pack handles two circuits. It applies the low/reverse clutch in Park, Reverse, Neutral and first, then, once the transmission is in second or higher, the controller pulses it to bring the converter clutch on smoothly and finally holds it fully applied at cruise. Transmission Digest describes the L/R solenoid doubling as the TCC solenoid across the RFE lineage until the 2019 redesign. The 2010-2018 pack also has one fewer solenoid than the earlier white-connector pack: Sonnax reports that Chrysler dropped the overdrive solenoid and two valve body checkballs when it moved to the gray connector in 2010.
Check one thing before you spend money: FCA Customer Satisfaction Notification T15 covers certain 2016 and 2017 Ram trucks with the 65RFE or 66RFE whose solenoid coil terminals were built out of specification. The dealer replaces the solenoid pack free of charge, so run your VIN through a dealer first if your truck is in that window. For everything else, pull codes, check fluid level hot, and do the key-on, engine-running Reverse test, where all five pressure switches should read open. Our RFE shift solenoid symptoms and testing guide walks through it, and the 66RFE P0740 fix guide explains why worn switch valve and TCC regulator bores can set the same lockup codes on this valve body family.
The listing covers 65RFE applications from 2010 through 2018, the gray-connector era. GEARS Magazine places the 65RFE in the Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 with the 4.7L and 5.7L engines. Some earlier trucks in that span carry the 545RFE name instead, and Sonnax lists the 45RFE, 545RFE, 65RFE and 66RFE as sharing the 2009-and-later gray-connector pack and valve body. What matters is the connector on your pack: it should be gray. A white connector means the earlier six-solenoid design, and a blue connector means a 2019-on unit with a separate TCC solenoid, and this pack fits neither. If you are not sure, send us your year and VIN. Related parts for this pack generation are on our 545RFE parts page and 66RFE parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. Through 2018 the converter clutch is controlled by the low/reverse-TCC solenoid inside the solenoid pack, so the pack is what you replace. A separate TCC solenoid only appears on the 2019-on RFE design.
Possibly, but check FCA Customer Satisfaction Notification T15 first. It covers certain 2016-2017 Ram trucks with the 65RFE or 66RFE, and the dealer replaces the solenoid pack at no charge.
Look at the pass-through connector on the pack or at the case. Gray is the 2010-2018 design this listing covers. White is the earlier design and blue is 2019-on; neither interchanges with this pack.
Remanufactured, per the listing. It is a complete pack, not a single solenoid.
A pack gasket and the transmission filter at minimum, plus fresh ATF+4. If the valve body shows bore wear or fails a vacuum test, replace or repair it at the same time.
