Clint Cannon from ATS and Matt Chambers from Alligator dig into the failures and fixes of the Dodge Ram 68rfe Transmission valve body
Dodge Chrysler introduced the 68rfe transmission into the Dodge Ram platform in 2007, and ever since then, it has been the Achilles heel of the drivetrain. The 68rfe transmission was never designed to hold more power over stock and was only designed to tow so much, but in the real world we pretty much all add a little extra power or tow heavy which will push that transmission out of its comfort zone. This is where the transmission will start to slip and will need a little extra help. With the factory transmission only making 160psi, and it is actually limited to only make 160psi clamping force, two areas need to be addressed. First is the actual valve body so the transmission has the ability to go over 160psi, and because the 68rfe is a closed loop line pressure system, meaning the computer is demanding the pressure and it never goes above 160psi, an external brain box is needed to ramp up the signal.
