About this product

Owners of a 2014 Ram 2500, 3500 or chassis cab with the 6.7L Cummins usually land here after the truck goes into limp mode on a tow, starts banging or slipping between gears, or sets a string of solenoid and pressure switch codes. This is a remanufactured OEM 68RFE solenoid kit for the 2014 truck, sold with a 1-year warranty, so you can replace a tired pack with a tested one instead of guessing at individual solenoids.

What the solenoid kit does in a 2014 68RFE

The 68RFE has no shift valves in the old sense. The computer controls every clutch through the solenoid pack on the front of the valve body, and five pressure switches built into the same pack confirm which circuits actually applied. On a 2014 truck the pack is the gray-connector design that Chrysler used from 2010 through 2018. Compared with the earlier white-connector pack, the gray version deleted the overdrive solenoid, and the low/reverse solenoid still doubles as the torque converter clutch control. That shared job is why a lockup complaint on a 2014 can trace back to the same solenoid and circuit as a reverse complaint.

Symptoms

How to confirm before you buy

Start with the free test. Engine running, selector in Reverse, scan tool on the pressure switch data list: all five switches should read open. Move the external connector and harness while you watch, because a switch that flickers points to wiring, not the pack. Then remember the two codes that fool people on this transmission. P0871 is usually a worn solenoid switch valve bore in the valve body, and ATRA documented a P0740 case on a Ram 2500 6.7L where the solenoid was at full duty cycle but losing to a worn switch valve and converter accumulator. Our 68RFE solenoid testing guide covers both, and the 68RFE valve body testing guide explains the vacuum test that separates a pack problem from a bore problem.

Fitment

This kit is listed for the 2014 68RFE behind the 6.7L Cummins in Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and 3500, 4500 and 5500 chassis cab trucks. Confirm the pass-through connector on your case is gray. A white connector means an early 2007-2009 pack, and a 2019 or newer truck uses the blue pack, such as our 68RFE solenoid kit for 2019. Connector color is the first check, not the only one, so also compare the part number on your old pack or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before shipping. See the full range on our 68RFE parts page.

Install notes

While the valve body is out, it is the right time to replace the 68RFE pressure control solenoid for 2010-2018, which sets line pressure for the whole unit. A deep aluminum 68RFE pan with filter kit adds fluid capacity and comes with the filter you need to replace anyway, which helps a towing truck keep temperature in check.

68RFE Solenoid Kit 2014: common questions

Does a 2014 Ram use the gray or white connector solenoid pack?

Gray. The gray-connector pack was used on 2010-2018 68RFE trucks. White was the 2004-2009 design and blue started with 2019. Check the connector on your case or send us your year and VIN.

Can a bad solenoid pack cause torque converter shudder on a 2014?

It can, because on 2010-2018 trucks the low/reverse solenoid also controls converter lockup. But worn solenoid switch valve bores and a worn converter accumulator cause the same P0740 complaint, so pressure and vacuum test before replacing the pack.

What should I replace along with the solenoid pack?

A new filter and pan gasket at minimum, a new solenoid block gasket, and consider the pressure control solenoid since the valve body is already out. Inspect the case connector and harness for heat damage too.

What fluid and fill procedure does the 68RFE need?

ATF+4 to Chrysler standard MS-9602. Set the level with fluid at 160 F or hotter, then run the quick learn with fluid near 185 F and drive through 10 to 15 shift cycles.

Is this pack new or remanufactured?

This listing is a remanufactured OEM unit for the 2014 truck with a 1-year warranty. If you want a new pack for a 2019-up truck, see the 2019 kit instead, since the two are not interchangeable.
