68RFE Solenoid Kit 2019, new and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
A 2019 Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins that drops into limp mode, shifts erratically, or stores solenoid and pressure switch codes is running the newest version of the 68RFE, and it needs a solenoid pack built for that version. This is a new Mopar 68RFE solenoid kit listed for the 2019 model year, backed by a 1-year warranty. The 2019 change is the reason this page exists separately from our older packs: the pack, the connector and the job each solenoid does are different from 2018 and earlier.
The solenoid pack bolts to the front of the valve body and holds the solenoids the transmission computer fires to apply each clutch, plus the five pressure switches that report back which circuits actually built pressure. On 2004-2018 trucks the low/reverse solenoid also handled torque converter clutch apply. For 2019 Chrysler split those jobs. Transmission Digest and Sonnax both document that the 2019-up blue-connector pack adds a dedicated TCC solenoid and puts the reverse clutch on its own normally applied control solenoid where the old overdrive solenoid used to sit. That is why a 2019 truck cannot simply take an earlier gray-connector pack, and why lockup and reverse diagnosis on these trucks follows different rules.
A solenoid pack costs real money, so prove it before you order. With the engine running, the selector in Reverse and a scan tool on the pressure switch data, all five switches should read open; one that reads closed, or flickers when you wiggle the harness, is a fault to chase first. Sonnax reports that P0871 is caused by worn valve body bores and solenoid switch valve plugs about 90 percent of the time, not by the pack. Our 68RFE shift solenoid testing guide walks through the full procedure, and if a speed sensor code is also present, read the 68RFE speed sensor and P0716 guide before replacing anything.
This kit is listed for the 2019 68RFE in Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and Ram chassis cab trucks with the 6.7L Cummins. Check the pass-through connector at the case: 2019-up trucks use the blue connector. If yours is gray or white, you need an earlier pack, such as the 68RFE solenoid kit for 2014. The solenoid block gasket also differs between generations, so match the part number on your old pack or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. 2019-2020 trucks were also covered by FCA recall W03 (NHTSA 20V-043) for the valve body, so check your VIN for an open recall first. The rest of the lineup is on our 68RFE parts page.
A truck that tows hard is worth upgrading while the pan is off. The Transgo SK68RFE-19UP shift kit is built for the 2019-up valve body, and an auxiliary 68RFE transmission cooler keeps fluid temperature down, which is what protects a new pack and the clutches it controls.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. 2019-up trucks use a blue-connector pack with a separate TCC solenoid and a reverse clutch control solenoid. Earlier gray- and white-connector packs are laid out differently and do not control a 2019 transmission correctly.
Look at the pass-through connector on the transmission case. Blue means the 2019-up design. Gray was used on 2010-2018 trucks and white on 2004-2009. When in doubt, send us your year and VIN.
Usually not. Sonnax attributes about 90 percent of P0871 cases on RFE transmissions to worn valve body bores and solenoid switch valve plugs. Run the pressure switch test in Reverse and vacuum test the valve body before replacing the pack.
ATF+4 to Chrysler standard MS-9602. Set the level with the fluid at 160 F or hotter, since a cold reading will overfill the transmission.
Yes. Clear codes and run the quick learn with a scan tool once the fluid reaches about 185 F, then drive through 10 to 15 upshift and downshift cycles. Some bind or flare during that window is normal and should clear.
