Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan
Cast from high-grade A356.0-T6 aluminum alloy, the PPE Transmission Pan offers superior resistance to impact and warping compared to the factory pan. Its robust construction ensures long-lasting protection and performance. The deep external cooling fins maximize the heat-wicking surface area, effectively dissipating heat to keep your transmission cool under pressure.
The built-in baffles at the bottom of the pan increase the contact area between the fluid and the pan’s cast surface, enhancing its heat transfer capabilities. These baffles also minimize fluid sloshing, ensuring consistent fluid pickup and stable transmission performance.
The PPE 68RFE Transmission Pan includes a billet stainless steel drain plug with a built-in, high-temperature rated neodymium magnet. This powerful magnet effectively captures ferrous particles, providing additional protection for your transmission. Two NPT ports, 1/8'' and 1/4'', are included to the pan for optional temperature sending units. Each product also comes with a PPE High-Efficiency Deep Spin-On Transmission Filter SKU 228052150, extending your transmission fluid service life.
Keep your 68RFE transmission running longer, healthier, and cooler with PPE.
OEM P/N for Reference: MOPAR 4736676AA
Note: Some vehicles require the hard lines in order for the pan to fit. Please refer to the drawings for specs.

I chose this pan from the many other offerings due to it having more gussets between the bolt holes (added strength). This thing is tough! Installation was simple and straightforward; I used a paper gasket (not included) because I’m not a fan of using RTV, and I used Loctite 243 (blue medium strength) on all the fasteners, torqued to 9 lb/ft. Not knowing how much fluid I had drained, I simply weighed the collected fluid and compared that to a container of new fluid, and added an additional three quarts to get me in the ballpark. I will definitely be using PPE for my differential covers next!

The quality of this product is unsurpassed. Fit and finish was absolutly perfect. After installation I knew this was the correct choice for me. Transmission temp stayed at 120 on the hwy

A fine addition to the truck. Fits as advertised and came with the required hardware and filter. I used a oem new gasket and no leaks or issues.

i installed this a couple of weeks ago, i also put the transmission bypass at the same time. So far i haven't been able to get the transmission temp over 140. it is amazing. Cant wait until i tow my trailer........ill let you know how it does.

I have a ~9,500lb 2024 Limited 4x4 3500 SRW Mega Cab with the Cummins 6.7 SO and 68RFE and an S&B 55-gallon after-market diesel tank. My truck is extra heavy because of a Yakima HD rack, heavy loaded cargo carrier, and an American Rolltop cover bed cover, so all that weight works the transmission harder than most trucks due to the extra weight I'm always hauling. I'm mostly in the Seattle area where temps are 40-90F year-round.
I installed this pan in March 2024 and put 17,000 miles on it by October 2024, about 40-50% of the miles were traveled while towing an ~8,000lb travel trailer up and down the West Coast. Before this pan and the PPE thermal bypass valve, my transmission always had a minimum temperature of about 165-175F. After installing this pan and the PPE thermal bypass valve, the highest temperature I have *ever* seen occurred only while towing up a mountain pass in 100-degree weather, and that was a brief blip at 175F.
Otherwise, even while towing, the transmission temperature tend to max-out at about 155F. When not towing, or in cooler weather, I'll typically see 125-140F temperatures as a maximum after 30+ minutes at highway speeds.
Overall, I think the combination of this pan, plus their thermal bypass valve and the included extra-large magnetic filter is good insurance to help a 68RFE transmission work hard and still have a long life. An advantage of having the extra 4 quarts of fluid capacity is that thermal fluctuations are also more gradual; it takes a while to build heat when towing up a grade, and to cool off when exhaust-braking back down the mountain pass. The slower or more gradual thermal fluctuations occur, the less micro-wear on moving parts, IMHO.
