2007–2012: 68RFE 6-speed automatic (6.7L Cummins)
2013+: 68RFE or AS69RC Aisin 6-speed (6.7L Cummins)

Known Dodge Ram 2500 Transmission Problems

  • 48RE: Overdrive unit and governor pressure solenoid failure β€” common on high-mileage 5.9L Cummins trucks
  • 68RFE: Solenoid pack failure and OD clutch burn-out under tuned Cummins torque β€” the most common Ram HD transmission issue
  • 68RFE with tuned trucks: Stock OD clutch pack is dramatically undersized for modified Cummins β€” first thing to fail

Warning Signs β€” When to Bring It In

  • No 5th/6th gear β€” OD clutch failure
  • Limp mode under load β€” 68RFE solenoid
  • Shudder at highway cruise
  • Transmission slipping when loaded
  • P0945 or P0750 codes

Our Repair Process

48RE: full rebuild with updated governor solenoid and overdrive drum. 68RFE: solenoid pack replacement if clutches are intact; full rebuild if OD clutches are burned. For tuned trucks: heavy-duty OD clutch pack upgrade is essential. Billet builds available for high-performance Cummins applications.

Fluid Specification

48RE/68RFE/AS69RC: ATF+4 β€” change every 20,000 miles for towing

Repair Time Estimate

Standard rebuild: 3–5 days. Performance build: 5–7 days.

If you tow heavy or have any Cummins tune, yes β€” absolutely. We offer heavy-duty OD clutch packs and billet components.

The AS69RC is an Aisin-built alternative β€” significantly more robust than the 68RFE. If your Ram has it, you're better off.

3–5 days for a standard rebuild.
