Everything needed for a full AS69RC fluid and filter service on 2013-2024 Ram 6.7L Cummins 3500, 4500 and 5500: 10 quarts of ATF, filter, pan gasket and drain washer.
If your Ram 3500 with the high-output 6.7L Cummins is due for a transmission service, or it has started shifting harsh from 1st to 2nd and engaging slowly into Drive on a cold morning, this kit is the complete pan-drop service for the Aisin AS69RC in one box: ten quarts of T-IV specification ATF, the internal filter with its O-ring, the pan gasket and the drain plug sealing washer. The filter replaces Mopar 68224232AA.
The AS69RC is a six-speed with three planetary gearsets and an electronically controlled lockup converter, and it holds converter lockup for long stretches when the truck is towing. That puts the fluid to work twice: it is the hydraulic medium that applies every clutch pack, and its friction modifiers are what keep the lockup clutch from shuddering while it slips under control. The internal filter sits at the pump pickup in the pan and catches clutch material and wear metal before it reaches the pump and valve body. When heat cooks the fluid, the friction package fades first, shift feel gets worse, and the unit makes more heat. Fresh fluid and a clean filter break that loop. Our AS69RC problems and service guide covers the intervals and why heat drives most failures in this unit.
A service will not fix mechanical damage. On 2022-2023 trucks, a sudden clunk followed by no 1st through 4th with 5th and Reverse still working, plus P0731, is the K1 snap ring problem covered by FCA TSB 21-002-23, not a fluid issue.
Check the fluid at operating temperature using the procedure for your model year, and read the pan when it comes down. Clean, dark-but-not-burnt fluid with light magnet fuzz means a routine service. Large flakes of friction material or metal chunks mean the unit needs diagnosis first. If you are not sure which six-speed is under the truck, our 68RFE vs AS69RC comparison explains how to tell them apart: the standard-output 6.7L gets the 68RFE, which takes different parts.
Listed for 2013-2024 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 with the 6.7L Cummins and the Aisin six-speed. The Mopar catalog lists filter 68224232AA for 2013-2024 Ram 3500 and 2013-2020 Ram 4500 and 5500, so owners of a 2021-2024 chassis cab should confirm the filter number on their build before ordering. The 4500 and 5500 typically carry the closely related AS66RC (sales code DF3) rather than the AS69RC (DF2). This kit does not fit the earlier AS68RC or any 68RFE truck. Match the filter part number on your old filter, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Browse the full Aisin parts collection for other AS69RC service items.
Trucks that tow at their rating can step up to the BD Diesel AS69RC deep sump pan for more capacity and cooler running. If you only need the filter and gasket because you already have fluid on the shelf, the AS69RC filter and pan gasket kit covers that.

No. The Ram 2500 and the standard-output 3500 use the 68RFE, which takes a different filter and ATF+4 type fluid. This kit is for the Aisin six-speed behind the high-output 6.7L in the 3500 and the Aisin units in the 4500 and 5500 chassis cab.
The kit includes ten quarts of ATF built to the Aisin T-IV specification. Do not use ATF+4 in an AS69RC. The friction chemistry is different and the wrong fluid leads to lockup shudder and faster clutch wear.
For a pan drop and filter change, yes. Expect roughly seven quarts out of the pan alone and about nine to ten with the filter. A cooler line flush or a dry rebuild fill needs more fluid.
Our service guide lists fluid every 30,000 miles or 24 months and the filter every 60,000 miles. Trucks that tow heavy or work on long grades should be serviced sooner, because heat sets fluid life.
The listing covers 2013-2024, but the Mopar catalog lists filter 68224232AA for the 4500 and 5500 only through 2020. Check the number on your old filter or send us your year and VIN before ordering.
A routine fluid and filter service does not normally require a relearn. Set the level hot per the procedure for your model year and road test. If shift quality was already poor, diagnose the cause rather than expecting new fluid to fix it.
