68RFE Pressure Control Solenoid 2007, new and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
Please read this first: the name on this listing says pressure control solenoid, but the part that ships is a BD Diesel 1061525 deep sump transmission pan for the 68RFE. It is a cast aluminum, powder coated pan with cooling fins, built for the 2007.5-2018 Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins. If you tow a fifth wheel or gooseneck and watch transmission temperature climb on long grades, or you are already dropping the pan for a filter service and want more fluid in the system, this is the part you are looking at. If you actually need line pressure electronics, the 68RFE has no separate pressure control solenoid; that function lives in the solenoid block, covered in our 68RFE shift solenoid guide.
The 68RFE behind a Cummins does a lot of its work under load, and its clutches, seals and fluid all live or die by temperature. The stock stamped pan holds the fluid the pump draws from and not much more. This BD pan holds 4.5 quarts more than stock, so the same heat load is spread across a larger volume of ATF+4, and the finned aluminum walls shed heat into the airflow under the truck instead of trapping it the way thin steel does. BD also points out that the stiffer pan adds rigidity to the bottom of the case. Extra capacity is not a substitute for a working cooler, but it buys margin: the fluid takes longer to reach a damaging temperature and it carries more additive life between services.
A pan treats the symptom of heat, not the cause. Before buying, confirm the cooler is not packed with debris, that the thermostatic bypass valve is opening, and that the fluid level is correct when hot. ATRA's GEARS Magazine puts the ideal maximum at about 200 degrees F and notes fluid life drops sharply for every 20 degrees above it. Our 68RFE towing upgrades guide lists the cooling fixes in priority order, and a deep pan sits in that list as a supporting upgrade, not the first one. If the cooler itself is the weak link, a replacement 68RFE transmission cooler is the better first purchase.
BD lists this pan for the 2007.5-2018 Dodge and Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins and 68RFE, two-wheel and four-wheel drive. BD also notes it will fit most 545RFE units behind the 4.7L and 5.7L engines where the exhaust crossover, frame crossmember or catalytic converter does not interfere, so gasoline owners should measure clearance before ordering. The 2019 and later trucks are not on the maker's list. We also carry this same BD part number under a separate 68RFE BD 1061525 pan listing; compare the two prices and buy whichever suits you. For other parts for the same transmission, see the 68RFE collection, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm fit.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. Despite the listing name, this is the BD Diesel 1061525 deep sump aluminum transmission pan for the 68RFE. The 68RFE controls line pressure through the solenoid block on the valve body, not a separate solenoid.
BD rates it at 4.5 quarts more than the stock pan. Fill with ATF+4 and set the level on the dipstick once the fluid is at operating temperature.
It is not listed for 2019 and later. The maker's fitment is the 2007.5-2018 Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins and 68RFE. Send us your VIN if you are unsure.
The pan with a magnetic drain plug and a temperature sender port, a replacement gasket and mounting hardware. A filter is not listed, so buy one separately if you are due.
Not by itself. It adds fluid volume and surface area, but a clogged cooler or a stuck thermostatic bypass valve will still overheat the unit. Fix the cooling circuit first, then add the pan for margin.
