Dorman 265-870 Transmission Oil Pan with Drain Plug for 65RFE 68RFE 545RFE Dodge Ram Jeep

If you have ever dropped a full transmission pan on a Ram 2500 with the 68RFE, you already know why this one is worth having on the bench. It is a stamped-steel replacement pan built to match the fit and function of the original on 65RFE, 66RFE, 68RFE, and 545RFE transmissions, but it fixes the one thing the factory pan never had: a real drain plug. That single change means the next fluid service is as clean as an engine oil change. Crack the plug, let it drain, and you are not fighting eight quarts of hot ATF over your head.

The pan is heavy-gauge steel that holds its shape and seals flat, so it works equally well with a rubber gasket or an RTV bead. Owners running it on 2011 and up Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks, plus Durango, Grand Cherokee, Commander, and Dakota, report exact factory fit and leak-free service when the bolts are torqued in an alternating pattern to spec. One tip worth repeating from the field: give the drain plug a quick fill test on the bench before install so you know it seats dry. Confirm your exact year and transmission before ordering. Ships from the USA.
