About this product

This is a complete, new 68RFE pump assembly listed for 2007 through 2017, which covers most of the 6.7L Cummins Ram 2500, 3500 and cab-chassis trucks on the road with this six-speed. Owners usually land here after the same chain of complaints: a growl that follows the tachometer, Reverse that takes a second to bite on a hot afternoon, and a transmission that feels weak everywhere once it is towing. The photos show the assembly from the converter side, with the splined stator shaft and the ringed support hub that the input clutch housing rides on, so you can match it against the pump in your truck.

How the 68RFE pump works

The converter hub drives a center gear, and the center gear spins two outer gears that draw fluid from the sump filter and push it into the valve body. That one gear set feeds the clutches, the converter clutch, the cooler circuit and lubrication. On a high-mileage 2007-2017 truck the weak spot is the bore where the center gear drive flange passes through the pump body. Sonnax describes it scoring and wearing out of round, and once it does, internal leakage rises and volume falls at exactly the moment a loaded truck needs it most. Sonnax also notes that Chrysler does not sell replacement pump gears, so a worn pump means machining and bushing the old body or installing a full assembly like this one.

Signs your pump is the problem

Rule out the cheaper causes

Plenty of pumps are replaced for problems that live elsewhere. The classic one on these trucks is a sump filter O-ring that stayed in the case during a fluid change, leaving the new filter sitting on top of the old seal and sucking air. That suction leak looks identical to a worn pump on a scan tool. A worn low/reverse switch valve bore in the valve body can also bleed off apply pressure, usually with a Reverse or low-gear complaint attached. With fluid at 160 degrees F, compare commanded and actual pressure: actual below commanded with the duty cycle maxed means supply, actual above commanded means the solenoid circuit. The 68RFE pump failure guide explains each step, and our Ram 3500 Cummins shift problems guide helps separate a pressure fault from a shift-control fault.

Fitment and year changes

The listing covers 68RFE units from 2007 through 2017. That span is not one design throughout: Transmission Digest shows the early white connector solenoid assembly giving way around 2010 to a gray connector unit that dropped the overdrive solenoid. Those are valve body changes, but they are a good reminder to compare your old pump's bolt pattern, stator shaft splines and support hub to the photos instead of assuming. If anything looks different, send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. Browse the rest of our 68RFE transmission parts for the matching hard parts.

Installation notes

If the old fluid was burnt, a pump alone rarely finishes the job. Our 68RFE overhaul kit for 2007-2017 supplies the seals and gaskets for a full teardown, and the cast aluminum pan kit adds a drain plug and both filters for easier service afterward.

68RFE Pump 2007-2017: common questions

Does one pump really fit every 2007-2017 68RFE?

It is listed for that full range, but the transmission saw running changes during those years. Compare the bolt pattern, stator shaft splines and support hub with the photos, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm fitment before shipping.

Why would I buy a complete pump instead of new gears?

Chrysler does not sell replacement 68RFE pump gears. A pump worn only at the center gear bore can be machined and bushed, but if the pocket face behind the outer gears is scored, a complete assembly is the only real fix.

My truck just had a fluid service and now shows P0868. Is it the pump?

Check the sump filter first. A leftover O-ring stacked under the new filter creates a suction leak that reads exactly like a weak pump. Fix that and recheck pressure before buying anything.

Which filters should I change with the pump?

Both of them: the sump filter in the pan and the spin-on cooler return filter on the case. Flush the cooler and lines too, since a failing pump sends debris through the whole circuit.

Do I need a relearn after installing the pump?

Bring the fluid to at least 160 degrees F, set the level with ATF+4, and run a quick learn procedure with a capable scan tool so the controller adapts to the restored line pressure.
