68RFE Solenoid Kit 2004-2014, new and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
This is not a complete solenoid pack. It is the reseal kit for one: the block gasket, O-rings and seals that let a rebuilder open the RFE solenoid and pressure switch assembly, clean it, and close it back up tight, plus the fine solenoid filter screen that sits in the oil feed. It is listed for 2004-2014 45RFE, 545RFE and 68RFE units, which on the 68RFE side means the Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins from the 2007 changeover through 2014. If you are chasing a soft or late shift, an intermittent limp mode, or pressure switch codes on a truck whose pack still checks good electrically, a leaking seal or a plugged screen is a cheap thing to rule out before you spend several hundred dollars on a new assembly.
The 68RFE has no hydraulic shift valves picking gears on their own. The transmission controller applies every clutch by energizing solenoids in the block bolted to the top of the valve body, and five pressure switches in the same block report back whether each clutch actually got oil. All of that oil crosses a gasket face and a set of O-ringed bores. When a seal hardens or takes a set after years of heat, apply oil bleeds off before it reaches the clutch and the pressure switch never closes in time. The controller sees a rationality fault and defaults to its limp gear. A partly blocked screen does the same thing more slowly, starving the solenoid feed as debris builds up. Replacing the rubber and the screen restores the sealing the block was built with.
Start with a scan tool and the pressure switch data. A switch that never closes, or closes late, can be a seal leak, a sticking valve or a failed switch, so check the 23-way pass-through connector and harness first. Our 68RFE P0871 pressure switch guide walks through what the controller is comparing and how to separate an electrical fault from a hydraulic one, and the 68RFE shift solenoid testing guide covers coil resistance checks. If a coil is open or shorted, a reseal kit will not fix it and you need a replacement block instead.
The listing covers 2004-2014 RFE units. On the 68RFE that is the white-connector pack used from 2007 into 2009 and the gray-connector pack that replaced it around 2010 when the overdrive solenoid was dropped. Both use the same block gasket design; the 2019-up blue-connector pack uses a different gasket and is not covered here. Sonnax also notes that the solenoid filter screens differ by year range even though both will physically fit either pack, so compare the screen in this kit to the one you remove before installing. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Browse the full 68RFE parts collection for packs and service kits.
If the pack is cracked, burnt, or a solenoid tests bad, skip the reseal and install a refurbished 68RFE solenoid block with filter kit. If you are already deep into a rebuild, pair this kit with the Mopar 68RFE overhaul kit so every seal in the unit is fresh.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is a reseal kit: the block gasket, O-rings, seals and the solenoid filter screen. It is meant for a pack whose solenoids and pressure switches still test good but leak or are dirty. A pack with an open or shorted coil needs to be replaced.
No. The 2019-up 68RFE uses a blue-connector pack with an added reverse solenoid and a different block gasket. This kit is for 2004-2014 RFE packs, which on the 68RFE means the white and gray connector versions.
Yes. If apply oil leaks past a seal, the matching pressure switch closes late or not at all, the controller flags a rationality fault and puts the transmission in its default gear. Hot fluid makes the leak worse, which is why the problem often shows up after a long pull.
The 68RFE takes ATF+4. Check the level with the engine running and the fluid at operating temperature, then clear codes and drive the truck so the controller can relearn shift timing.
Yes. The pan has to come off to reach the block, so install a new pan filter, spin-on filter and pan gasket during the same job. Debris on the old solenoid screen is a good reason to look closely at the pan filter as well.
