PML designed this pan for Chrysler Dodge 4, 5 and 6 speed transmissions: 68RFE, 66RFE, 65RFE, 545RFE, and 45RFE

Benefits:
Drain and magnetic drain plug included
Extra Capacity
Heavy duty sand cast aluminum construction
Finned on the bottom for heat dissipation
Machined flat, large sealing surface for a leak free seal
Clears cooling lines on 2013 and newer Ram diesel trucks

Check your exhaust routing. Many Hemi engine trucks and SUVs have the exhaust under the stock pan and will need PML 2 quart over or stock capacity pan.

Always check your vehicle to verify your configuration and clearance.

Once installed the bottom of this pan is parallel to the ground.

Included with PML Pan
Pan ships with new mounting bolts and a magnetic drain plug. If the pan is drilled and tapped for a 1/8 NPT, a plug is included.

Bolts on front and rear of pan: The bolt holes on front and rear of transmission case are not through holes. PML provided bolts allow thickness for a gasket and may bottom out if a gasket is not used or if the gasket is thin. Do not over torque. Make sure holes are clean and compare the hole depth to the length of the bolt, thickness of the pan flange, and gasket thickness when gasket is compressed.

Filter Information
There are several stock pans and filters for the 68RFE, 66RFE, 65RFE, 545RFE, 45RFE Chrysler/Dodge transmissions. This pan works with any OEM or compatible filter.

The filter bolts on to the valve body. No filter support or extension is needed. PML designs pans and covers to work with stock parts without the need for additional modifications or complications. The fluid will be at the same level with a stock pan as with the PML pan. The filter will pick up from the same place. Installer must verify filter function and fitment with PML pan.

Inside of PML Transmission Pan
Baffles on the inside of the pan keep the oil near the pickup tube, act as heat sinks to help with cooling, and reduce sloshing.

Drain and Temperature Sensor Port on Driver Side
This is the driver or left side of the transmission pan:
The larger hole is the drain hole. A magnetic drain plug is included.

The smaller hole is drill and tapped for a 1/8 NPT temperature sending unit. A plug for the hole is included.

Passenger Side
This is the passenger or right side of this PML transmission pan:
The passenger front corner steps down to clear cooling tubes on some 2013 and newer diesel trucks.

Gasket Information
For a gasket, PML recommends an inexpensive cork or cork composite type gasket or the silicon gasket maker. Some Dodge vehicles use the Mopar silicon gasket maker, which comes in a tube, with the stock pan. This works fine with a PML pan.

Application List

PML designed this deep transmission oil pan to replace the stock pan on many configurations of these vehicles with a Chrysler Dodge 45RFE, 545RFE, 65RFE, 66RFE, and 68RFE:

Ram 2500 and 3500, 2WD and 4WD, with 6.7 liter diesel engine, 2007 1/2 and newer
Ram 1500 with Hemi engine, 2002 to 2005
Ram 1500 with 4.7 V8 engine, 2002 to 2011, check clearance on 2012 to 2014
2WD Dakota with 4.7 V8 engine, 2000 to 2004
2WD Durango with 4.7 V8 engine, 2000 to 2003
Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4.7 V8 engine, 1999 to 2004
Jeep Liberty CRD, 2005 and 2006 (check skid plate and see installations below)
Jeep Wrangler 2010 and 2011 2.8 Diesel (check skid plate)

Always check your vehicle to verify configuration and clearance.
This pan will not work on 8 or 9 speed or Aisin transmissions.

Ram Trucks with Aisin Transmission:
see PML Aisin AS68RC and AS69RC transmission pans.

Skid Plates: If you have a skid plate, you may need to move it downwards away from the transmission pan. Some Jeeps and a few Dodge vehicles have skid plates that limit clearance.

Trucks and SUVs with exhaust or frame members below the stock pan: for example, many Hemi engine vehicles have the exhaust under the stock pan and will need PML 2 quart over or stock capacity pan.

Some vehicles, like 2005 to 2013 Grand Cherokees, have the exhaust or frame near or under the stock pan. There may seem to be clearance for a PML pan, but there is not enough space. It has been tried. Removing fins and part of the pan did not help.
