68RFE Pressure Control Solenoid 2009, new and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
Read this before ordering: the listing name says pressure control solenoid, but what you receive is a complete electronic service set for the early RFE valve body. It contains a new Mopar solenoid block, part number 68002342AD, the line pressure transducer that mounts on the case, a pan filter, the spin-on secondary filter and a pan gasket. The set is listed for 1999-2009 45RFE, 545RFE and 68RFE units; for a 68RFE that narrows to the 2007-2009 Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins. It is aimed at the truck that drops into limp mode with line pressure or pressure switch codes, or shifts harshly one day and flares the next.
On the RFE family the line pressure solenoid is not a plug-in part. It lives inside the solenoid and pressure switch block along with the shift solenoids, the five pressure switches and the temperature sensor, all fed through one 23-way pass-through connector. The controller sets line pressure by duty-cycling that solenoid and then reads the line pressure transducer to see whether it got the pressure it asked for. If the solenoid drifts or the sensor reads wrong, the loop is broken and the controller either over-squeezes the clutches or under-feeds them. That is why this set replaces the block and the sensor together instead of guessing which half of the loop failed.
Check battery voltage, the 23-way connector pins and the case harness before condemning the block, since a corroded pin can mimic every symptom above. Watch commanded versus actual line pressure on a scan tool: a big gap at idle in gear points at the sensor or the solenoid, while normal pressure with a pressure switch fault points toward a clutch leak. Our 68RFE shift solenoid symptoms and testing guide covers coil resistance checks, and the valve body testing guide explains how to rule out a stuck valve under the block.
The listing covers 1999-2009, which matches the six-solenoid, white-connector block Chrysler used until the running change around 2010. The gray-connector block that followed removed the overdrive solenoid and two checkballs, and Sonnax notes that the gray pack cannot back-service earlier six-solenoid valve bodies. Before ordering, look at the connector color on your current pack: if it is white, this set is the right style. The 4x2 pan filter supplied is the two-wheel-drive version, so four-wheel-drive owners should compare it with their existing filter. Send us your year and VIN if you want us to confirm. All of our early and late 68RFE parts are in the 68RFE collection.
If your old block only leaks and still tests good, a 68RFE solenoid pack reseal kit is the low-cost option. If shift problems remain after the block is changed, the valve body itself is next; the up-to-2009 heavy duty 68RFE valve body is built for this same early design.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
A new Mopar solenoid block 68002342AD, a line pressure transducer, a 2WD pan filter, a spin-on secondary filter and a pan gasket. It does not include a valve body or wiring harness.
Not as a direct match. The 2010-2018 trucks use the gray-connector block with five solenoids and a revised valve body. Sonnax notes a white-connector pack was sometimes used to service 2009-later units under warranty, but the gray pack cannot back-service older units. Match your connector color and send your VIN if you are unsure.
The controller uses the sensor reading to correct line pressure. A sensor that reads low makes the controller raise pressure and cause harsh shifts; one that reads high causes slipping. Changing both removes the guesswork of which half of the loop failed.
ATF+4. Fill after the job, check the level at operating temperature with the engine running, then clear codes and let the controller relearn.
The included pan filter is listed as the 2WD version. Compare it with the filter you remove; if yours differs, use the correct 4WD filter with the rest of this set.
