BD Diesel Valve Body - 08-18 Dodge Ram 6.7L Cummins 68RFE w/Solenoid
If your 2008-2018 Ram 2500 or 3500 Cummins on the 68RFE has a solenoid switch valve code, cross-leak symptoms like a soft or delayed engagement, or you are building the truck for towing and want to get ahead of the transmission's known weak points, this BD Diesel valve body comes with a new, pre-installed solenoid pack and a set of hardware changes aimed directly at the 68RFE's common failure areas rather than just reproducing the stock part.
The 68RFE is a clutch-to-clutch six-speed, and the valve body is the hydraulic brain of the unit: it routes line pressure through its bores and spool valves to apply each clutch and band, and it carries the solenoid pack the TCM uses to time every shift and control line pressure. On the stock casting, the solenoid switch valve bore is one of the most common wear points in this transmission family, and bore wear there produces the pressure and cross-leak symptoms Ram/Cummins owners see most often.
If your truck is already showing stored solenoid or pressure codes, a harsh or delayed engagement, or overdrive slip, confirm the fault is actually in the valve body before you order using our 68RFE valve body problems and testing guide, and if the complaint is specifically wear-related cross-leak symptoms after high mileage, the 68RFE valve body wear and bench fix guide covers how that failure shows up before you spend on a replacement. This part includes its own solenoid pack, so it is not dependent on your truck's existing gray or white connector hardware the way a valve-body-only part would be.
Built for 2008-2018 Ram 2500/3500/4500/5500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins and 68RFE. Confirm your engine and transmission combination before ordering, since some listings for similar part numbers also reference the 6.4L Hemi and the related 66RFE, which is a different casting family. See the full 68RFE parts collection for every other part sold for this transmission.
Drain the fluid, drop the pan, disconnect the solenoid wiring and unbolt the valve body, then install this unit with its pre-installed solenoid pack and torque the bolts to spec rather than cranking them down unevenly, since uneven clamping load can bind a bore that measured fine off the shelf. Refill with Mopar ATF+4 only, clear any stored codes, and run the transmission's drive-learn relearn procedure afterward rather than driving it normally. Because solenoid switch valve wear and cross-leak symptoms are heat-driven as much as pressure-driven, especially under towing, pair this with our heavy duty aluminum deep transmission pan if you tow regularly and have not already upgraded cooling, and change the fluid and filter at the same service so debris from the old unit does not circulate into the new valve body.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. This version includes a new, pre-installed OEM-sourced Chrysler solenoid pack, so you are not reusing your truck's existing solenoid hardware and do not need to separately match a gray or white connector.
The solenoid switch valve bore is one of the most common wear points in the 68RFE's valve body casting family. A worn bore there causes pressure loss and cross-leak symptoms. The steel sleeve is meant to stop that specific wear pattern rather than just reproducing the stock bore.
2008-2018 Ram 2500/3500/4500/5500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins and 68RFE. Confirm your engine and transmission combination before ordering, since similar part numbers from other listings can also reference the 6.4L Hemi or the related 66RFE casting family.
Stored solenoid or pressure codes, harsh or delayed engagement, and overdrive slip are the most common signs. Confirm the fault is in the valve body rather than the pump, clutch packs or wiring before you replace it.
Mopar ATF+4 only. Refill with ATF+4, clear stored codes, and run the transmission's drive-learn relearn procedure after the swap instead of driving it normally.
The hardware changes here, the sleeved bore, bonded separator plate and heavy-duty accumulator plate, are aimed at the wear and cross-leak patterns that show up under sustained load, so it is a reasonable upgrade for a towing truck even before a failure, paired with better cooling if you have not already added it.
