68RFE Planetary 2009, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
Our catalog lists this as a 68RFE planetary for 2009, but the part is an extreme duty valve body, part number CR-2762XD-2, for early 68RFE transmissions up to 2009 with the 7 check ball layout. It is meant for 2007-2009 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins, especially trucks running a tune, bigger tires or heavy trailers, where the factory body cannot hold the clutches under the extra torque. The build list includes a billet aluminum channel plate, billet accumulator pistons, a modified transfer plate and separator plate for use with modified line pressure and custom tuning, a heavy-duty separator plate with gaskets, a heavy-duty accumulator support plate, and an updated solenoid switch valve with updated plugs. The solenoid block is not included.
The 68RFE launched with the same white-connector solenoid pack used in the 45RFE and 545RFE, and that early pack still had an overdrive solenoid. The valve body sits under it and turns each solenoid signal into clutch apply oil. Factory channel plates are cast and can flex. Under raised line pressure from a tune, that flex and the wear in the switch valve bore let oil leak between circuits. A billet channel plate holds its shape, and the modified transfer and separator plates change the oil passages to work with a tuner that raises line pressure. That is the main difference from a stock-style reman body.
Graph commanded and actual line pressure on a scan tool. GEARS Magazine gives healthy idle values of about 60 to 70 psi commanded and actual, at roughly a 22 to 24 percent duty cycle. A big gap between the two, or a duty cycle pinned low, points to a leak or a pump problem. Remember that a tune or larger tires can change what the module asks for. Our valve body testing guide walks through the checks, and the 68RFE pump failure guide helps you rule out the pump before you buy.
The listing says up to 2009 with 7 check balls. On a Cummins Ram that means the 2007 1/2 through 2009 68RFE with the white pass-through connector. Transmission Digest documents the 2010 running change to a gray connector with no OD solenoid, so a 2010-2018 truck needs the 5-ball body instead. If your truck is a late 2009 or has had a transmission swapped in, count the check balls in the old body and look at the connector color before ordering, or send us the year and VIN. If you are not tuned and want a standard updated body, compare the updated 2009 68RFE valve body, or see the full 68RFE parts collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. Despite the store title, it is an extreme duty 7 check ball valve body, CR-2762XD-2, for 68RFE units up to 2009. It does not include the solenoid block.
The modified transfer and separator plates are made for use with modified line pressure and custom tuning. If your truck is stock, a standard updated valve body may suit it better.
No. 2010 and later 68RFE trucks use the gray-connector design and a 5-ball valve body. This unit is for the early white-connector trucks.
Use the gasket for white and gray connector packs. The blue-connector gasket blocks the OD solenoid feed on an early pack and causes a neutral shift into third.
It addresses the hydraulic side, including the switch valve plugs and plate leaks. If the clutches are already burned, they must be rebuilt as well.
ATF+4 only, with the level set hot at 160 degrees F or more, followed by a quick learn on a scan tool.
