Pan with bonded filter, gasket, 13 bolts, six liters of OE-spec ATF and a fill pump for the ZF 8HP70 in Ram 1500 and Grand Cherokee.
Searching for an 8HP70 service because your Ram 1500 slams into second, your Grand Cherokee flares between fourth and fifth, or your Durango is past 90,000 miles on the original fluid? Kit 68225344KIT is the complete job for the 2013-2019 Ram 1500, 2014-2019 Grand Cherokee and Durango, and 2015-2019 Charger and Challenger: a one-piece pan with the filter bonded into it and the drain plug installed, 13 pan bolts, a fill plug with a new seal ring, six 1-liter bottles of OE-spec ATF made in Germany, and a hand fill pump.
The 8HP70 has no conventional hydraulic valve body bolted under a separate filter. Its mechatronic unit, the valve body and electronic control module in one assembly, sits inside the case and is fed by the same oil that lubricates and applies the clutch packs. Pressure is set by small solenoid-driven spools working in tight bores. When friction material from normal wear circulates through those bores, valves stick or leak and the computer has to keep adapting around it. That is why a neglected unit drifts into harsh shifts, then flares, then stores ratio codes, and why the filter, which here is part of the pan, matters as much as the fluid.
Do not reset adaptations or reprogram first. BMW's 8HP diagnosis bulletin, written for the same ZF family, tells technicians to verify the complaint, save module data and check fluid level on every complaint before anything else, and that order holds on these Stellantis units too. Set level at the correct temperature, note how much fluid was needed, and look at its condition. If the fluid is old and the level was right, service it and let the transmission relearn. If the drain plug shows coarse metal, the unit needs hard parts. Our 8HP high-mileage checklist lays out the order of checks, and the 8HP shift problems guide covers the faults that fluid will not fix.
This kit is listed for the ZF 8HP70 in the Ram 1500 2013-2019, Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014-2019, Dodge Durango 2014-2019 and Dodge Charger and Challenger 2015-2019. It does not fit the 845RE deep-pan transmission. Because one model year can use either unit depending on the engine and drivetrain, confirm the transmission tag reads 8HP70 or send us the year and VIN. The package ships at 18.36 lb in a 20 x 13 x 6.75 inch box. See every part we carry for this transmission in the ZF 8HP collection.
If shift complaints survive a correct service, the usual next step is the solenoids or the mechatronic itself; the 8HP70 solenoid kit and remanufactured 8HP70 valve body cover both. A tired cooler can also cook new fluid, so check the 8HP70 cooler on high-mileage units.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
One pan assembly with the filter, gasket and drain plug built in, six 1-liter bottles of OE-spec ATF, 13 pan bolts, a fill plug with seal ring and a fluid pump.
Check fluid level and condition first and service it before any reset or programming. Many units relearn on their own with gentle driving; a reset is a tool for a confirmed complaint, not a first step.
No. It is for the 8HP70 only. Check the tag on the transmission case, or send us your year and VIN.
Use the side fill plug. With the engine running and fluid at 30-50 C on a scan tool, the level is correct when fluid just runs from the fill hole.
Sometimes, when worn fluid or debris in the mechatronic is causing slip. If the codes return after a correct service, the solenoids, mechatronic or clutch packs need testing.
