68RFE Valve Body 2004-2010, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
Early 68RFE trucks are now well past the mileage where the valve body bores wear out, and the complaints are familiar: a Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins that shifts hard or soft depending on temperature, loses converter lockup while towing, or drops into limp mode with a pressure switch code. This remanufactured valve body is listed for the 2004-2010 range and is aimed at the early-design 68RFE, giving you rebuilt bores and valves without having to ream and sleeve the original yourself.
The 68RFE is a six-speed, heavy-duty member of Chrysler's RFE family, and its valve body shares the same basic layout as the 45RFE, 545RFE and 65RFE castings. The pressure regulator valve sets line pressure from the pressure control solenoid signal, the solenoid pack sits on top and fires the clutch circuits, and five pressure switches tell the TCM which clutches actually applied. The solenoid switch valve is the key part of this design: it shifts oil between the low/reverse clutch and the torque converter clutch circuit, which is why one worn bore can produce both a low-gear complaint and a lockup complaint on the same truck.
Put a gauge on the line pressure port and compare actual to desired with a scan tool. Sonnax lists normal OE line pressure at about 60 psi minimum and 150-160 psi at stall, and P0933 sets when actual runs more than 25 psi over desired. Check the pressure switch states at key-on engine-running in Reverse, and inspect the solenoid pack and its conductor plate for warpage before blaming the valve body. Our 68RFE valve body testing guide covers each step, and the 68RFE shift solenoid guide helps you separate a solenoid fault from a hydraulic one.
The 68RFE itself went into production for the 2007 model year behind the 6.7L Cummins, so the 2007-2010 portion of this listing is the true 68RFE range; the earlier years in the title reflect the shared RFE casting family. Our catalog also separates early units, listed as up-to-2009 seven check ball valve bodies, from 2010-2018 five check ball versions, so a 2009 or 2010 truck sits right on that change. Count the check balls in your old valve body, compare the separator plate and casting numbers, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. Every 68RFE year is on our 68RFE parts collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
A 2005 Ram 2500 diesel used a different transmission, not the 68RFE, which arrived for 2007 with the 6.7L Cummins. Send us your VIN and we will confirm which valve body your truck needs.
Count the check balls when you pull the original. Our catalog lists up-to-2009 units as seven-ball and 2010-2018 units as five-ball, and the replacement should match your original.
Most cases trace to worn solenoid switch valve bores and leaking plugs, with misplaced check balls and failed pressure switches behind many of the rest. Test the switches and wiring before replacing parts.
ATF+4 only. Check the level with the fluid at operating temperature and the truck level.
Yes. Run the Quick Learn procedure with a scan tool, then drive through all six gears so the TCM can adapt clutch fill times to the new valve body.
