Hi Jesse, Thanks for the video. I have a 2021. It actually has a reusable gasket. I bought the $41 dollar OEM in case it was damaged when I removed the pan. I used a low profile clear tote wider than the pan to carry ch the oil. Took all bolts out except two on either side and drained as shown. Not much mess until I dropped the filter and it rolled across the garage spewing fluid. The gasket wasn’t damaged and the pan cleaned up nice. Couple things though. The first is that my filter was on so tight I dented it getting it off with the channel locks. No issue but damn. The second is the flat filter gasket was in so tight it needed to be pried out and the new one need a little help getting seated. I used a piece of wood and a rubber mallet. Everything went back together although my torque wrench wouldn’t register 8ft-lbs for some reason. I filled to 6.4 quarts. Ran it to operating temperature of 160 deg and while driving the engine light came on. Took to AutoZone to read the code p0933 line pressure sensor performance. Took it home and checked the fluid level per owner’s manual. It was low as in not registering. Put the rest of the seventh quart in and took to AutoZone to reset light. Didn’t come back on. Researched fluid capacities for the transmission and there’s a reason no capacity is listed in the owners’s manual. It depends on how long you drain the transmission. My level is still about a quart low. Not to the hot marks on the dipstick at operating temperature. I would expect to put in 8 quarts but start with 7 if you changed both filters and let it drain until it stopped dripping. Your video helped me out. Thanks.
Hello everyone......all 29 comments at the time I write this additional comment. I really liked the video, I've struggled to find a 68RFE video like this, and I just wanted to say Thank You for taking the time to share. As for some of you, your tone was pretty negative, ease up a bit, relax....we all need to be more kind and appreciative!
👏👏👏 thanks Michael. We did our best to make the video fun, but most importantly informative. We appreciate you watching and if you haven't already bought the materials, we link them in the description below. 👇
I’ve been putting this work off like a trip to the dentist. At a dealer five years ago for recall work, on a whim I asked cost to change an EGR filter. Guy responded quickly, $295. I’ll be doing my own transmission filter and fluid change myself. Good video. Edit: CCV filter.
Thanks for sharing this how to video. My 2014 ram 2500 with the 6.4 Hemi is nearly due for the 120k transfer filter and fluid change. I will do this myself and save some coin as you said, I am considering an aftermarket pan with a drain plug on it but will probably stick with the OEM pan.
It’s funny you post this now cause I was gonna change my trans fluid. I Just changed my fuel filter and had to rewatch your last video. Glad you posted man
Use a water heater over flow round plastic pan from home depot. Only around 15 dollars. It even has a drain tube. Also works good when changing fuel filters.
A tip for a mess free drain, syphon out the fluid using a transfer pump through the dip stick hole, you can get about 90% of what the pan holds sucked out and then you can drop it with no mess and just a little in the bottom of the pan to pour out
Definitely easier with a homemade fluid extractor if you stick with the stock pan. It took about 2 minutes to fully evacuate the pan and then there is no mess upon removal. There’s a great build video on RUclips: m.ruclips.net/video/a1C_89KE7_4/видео.html Thanks for your video, between this tutorial and the fluid extractor, the job was quick and easy.
I still removed the pan to replace filters, just didn’t take a transmission fluid shower since all the ATF was drained with the extractor. Has come in really handy to exchange brake fluid and extract oil from lawnmowers, as well.
Thanks for the info. I need to do this. One can buy an aftermarket pan with a plug. I plan to drill a hole in the stock one and replace with the new pan.
You can suck out over 3 quarts with a simple fluid hand pump. Just over 3 quarts will be left in the pan. If you do it right you can tilt the pan to get fluid to come out at a corner. Changing the filters is where you get messy.
Just an FYI...I have a '17 CTD 2500 with 75k miles. I have a Revmax billet valve body installed and pushing about 250 psi line pressure. I have a Mag Hytec trans pan. I change my fluid at 30k intervals. Both revealed absolutely clean oil that looked like new with no shit in the pan. Don't be lazy or cheap, swap it out.
A guy that’s doing his own maintenance and you call him lazy because he doesn’t put the pan and valve body you have. Makes sense, I’ll check with you on the future for all future maintenance plans.
Have a 2016 2500 with 6.7. Has 200k miles and I have never changed filter or trans fluid. No issues with trans. I change oil and diesel filters when the truck lets me know. Trans oil getting dark but mechanics don't want to take a chance on replacing filter or fluid. Any suggestions? Maybe flush half fluid out and replace with fresh fluid? Thanx in advance.
@AdventureEndeavor I'll have to look at the turbo actuator onr I'm about to go non vgt due to it, I heard you should grease the u joint every oil change
I use Mityvac fluid exchanger put the long plastic tube down the dipstick suck out about 3/4 of the fluid then when you drop the pan doesn't make a mess. Another thing you can do is replace the pan with an BD Diesel performance pan that has a drain plug. ATS also makes pans both make high-capacity pans don't see the reason for them. Usually only need those big pans for drag racing applications. Also, I have read these have a plastic nipple for the spin on filter eventually it becomes brittle the filter drops down in the pan transmission runs dry on fluid need total rebuild. Aftermarket makes a metal screw up nipple to replace it this is for 2007.5 to 2018.
@@AdventureEndeavor I haven't changed mine yet only have 40k miles. I change fluid on other vehicles I have same way. Hardly drive my Ram I also have a built JK jeep. I'm thinking of selling the Jeep put better suspension on the truck use that for 4 wheeling. Used to do lot of rock trails I'm in AZ haven't for few years. I started to look into changing the fluid I saw your video. Then I did some more reading when I found the ATS video talking about the diverter valve mod. I guess there is a thermostat block bypasses the cooler. According to them transmission runs better if you keep it under 200F. That ATS video where he said those plastic nipples break off. I plan on changing the filters everytime I change the fluid.
4:34 Magnetic dishes are a better idea if you're doing the job on uneven ground. Bolts stay together a little better if you knock your magnetic over 😅 5:56 There is a gasket that's relatively cheap available on Rock Auto and most parts stores. 6:36 Be careful with a wire wheel... I'd suggest a scotch pad.
We used the tool we had available. Never had an issue with wire wheel at all and the dealer calls for RTV. No gasket. Thanks for watching hopefully you found it helpful. All parts are linked in the description.
@AdventureEndeavor Yes, I did find it helpful! Just thought I'd give you the insight on the gasket... the tranny oil pan that came on early and second generation didn't have a drain plug, so proper flushing would require the fluid to be drained multiple times and the gasket is easier to use, instead of applying RTV over and over again to seal the pan. ASE teaches us three drain and fill cycles are required to fully flush the transmission, valve body and torque converter with each time the fluid becoming more and more clear. Just some food for thought... that's my two cents you didn't ask for, anways 😃
@@AdventureEndeavor This will be my first time servicing my transmission myself. Just wanted to make sure to avoid simply steps that may cause an issue. Thanks for the information.
@@AdventureEndeavor Hi Jesse, I'm currently serving my 68RFE and on the stock valve body, I noticed what looks to be either mold casting lines that looks like cracks or possibly there's been some warping that has caused actual cracks. If there's a way to include a picture I will. I'd like to get your option out if these are cracks or not, basically if this looks normal. Thought maybe you would know? I can't seem to find a way to attach a picture yet.
@ChrisBackos I don't think you can attach a photo. Has there been any shifting issues? Was there any metal in the pan? Most likely just casting. I'm not a pro, just a back yard mechanic
Any problems with the parts from Amazon not being true Mopar parts from your links, they just seem to be to cheap to be genuine parts? Great Video BTW!
@@trustmebro8500 It’s a TCC code. I had the fluid changed and the module replaced. Still have the same problem. When going into the last gear it fluctuates pretty bad. Every thing else on the transmission works fine. And after so many miles, it pretty much evens out out and does not fluctuate. At least not near as bad.
@bradywscriber5455 Thanks for the update bro. I’m replacing the solenoid pack. Was kinda hesitant on buying the piece, but you helped me pull the trigger
Did the solenoid pack fix it, I had a 2000 that replaced governor solenoid that fixed mine sure you probably have totally different transmission though
By the time I got it all installed, cleaned up tools, funnels, creeper ECT I just started filling. Haven't had any issues. So about 15 minutes worked for me.
@@AdventureEndeavor pneumatic/manual fluid vac is needed, good thing they sell them now...or else your just circulating clean ATF+4 thru the old stuff again...if you do it, you might as well do it right, especially on the 68RFE, and while your under there install aftermarket pan/thermal bypass/Pressure + Dongle to make it last. Best $600 you can spend
Well works for me, get clean filters in there and about 8 quarts. Do as you like, possibly jack the front of the truck up, you'll get a few more quarts out
My 2021 had an OEM reusable gasket mated to the pan. I bought a replacement just in case $41 but didn’t need to use it. So far no leaks. Don’t over torque the bolts.
@@AdventureEndeavor yes, i was telling the guy above that what he saw and thinks was a drain plug was most likely the magnet in your pan. If he hasnt done this before, he probably noticed the magnet and assumed that it was a drain plug.
@@AdventureEndeavor kid at the service desk told me they had a lifetime oil in them and it didn’t have to be done.. I cringed pretty hard. I was to embarrassed for him to even say anything..
BREAKING NEWS !!! This is a great video BUT if you do not do this from day one of the truck being brand new you may cause more harm than good. I took mine to two dodge dealers and got the same comment “ we can not Gaurntee you that changing the fluid will not harm the transmission “ at this point my transmission had 80,000 miles. So I then took my truck to two more transmission shops and was told the exact same thing. Be careful
@@AdventureEndeavor it does, when 2 ram dealers told me they could not Gaurntee me that my transmission wouldn’t malfunction after doing this I chose to risk it.
The recommendation for the 68RFE transmission is 96k if you are a fleet vehicle or do heavy towing. The 60k recommendation is for the Aisin transmission. Otherwise its 192k. I changed mine at 101k. I do a lot of towing.
Dealership said 7 quarts. That's about what mine took. We double check when cold and hot multiple times to make sure it's at the correct level. It will vary depending on how long you let it drain.

Does it have a relearn process after the fluid change?
I didn't experience anything like that, just started it up and topped off the fluids.

Dealership said 7 quarts. That's about what mine took. We double check when cold and hot multiple times to make sure it's at the correct level. It will vary depending on how long you let it drain.
