Which Trucks Use It?
- Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups with the 6.7 Cummins (2007.5 to 2010)
- Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups with the standard-output 6.7 Cummins (2011 onward)
Chassis cab trucks mostly use the Aisin AS68RC, and high-output Ram 3500 pickups use the Aisin AS69RC. Gas Rams with the 66RFE are also different. If you are not sure which one you have, send the VIN before ordering this 68RFE transmission for sale.
Matching the Right Version
- 2WD or 4WD: 4WD units have a short output for the transfer case, 2WD units have a long tailshaft.
- Model year: 2007.5 to 2012, 2013 to 2018 and 2019-up units have differences. The 2019 update changed the pump, valve body, solenoid pack and software.
- Converter: must suit the transmission year. Many owners fit a new or upgraded converter at the same time.
- Programming: after installation the transmission needs a quick learn with a suitable scan tool.
Send your VIN and we will confirm every detail before your 68RFE transmission for sale ships.
How We Check Every Unit
Before any fairly used 68RFE transmission for sale goes on a pallet, we look at:
- ATF+4 colour, smell and debris on the magnet
- Input and output shaft play
- Case, bellhousing ears, mounts and external filter housing
- Solenoid pack connector and sensor plugs
- Donor history, including whether the engine was tuned, where known
See our tested used engines page for how we inspect parts.
Why Choose a Fairly Used 68RFE?
A built aftermarket 68RFE can cost many thousands of dollars, and a shop rebuild keeps the truck off the road for a week or more. For a stock or near-stock truck with normal towing, a good used 68RFE transmission for sale is the fastest and most affordable way back to work. It is also a sensible core if you plan to build a stronger transmission later.
Common Reasons People Replace a 68RFE
- Torque converter failure causing shudder, slip and contaminated fluid
- Valve body separator plate cross-leak causing flares and burnt clutches
- Burnt overdrive clutches from towing in sixth or aggressive tunes
- Broken input shaft on high-power trucks
- Pump wear and low line pressure
- Overheating when towing heavy in hot weather
Many owners pair a used 68RFE transmission for sale with a new converter and an upgraded separator plate. It is a good balance of cost and durability.
How to Tell a 68RFE From an Aisin
Both six-speeds sit behind the 6.7 Cummins, so people mix them up. The Aisin is larger and heavier, with a different pan, and chassis cab versions have PTO openings. The two also use different dipstick positions. Standard Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups mostly have the 68RFE, while high-output 3500s and chassis cabs mostly have Aisins. The window sticker or a dealer VIN lookup settles it. If you are still unsure, send us photos with your VIN and we will tell you if this 68RFE transmission for sale is right for you.
Signs Your Current 68RFE Is Done
- Shudder or vibration around 40 to 50 mph when the converter locks
- Flares on the 2-3, 3-4 or 4-5 upshifts
- Limp mode with transmission codes that return after a reset
- Slow engagement into drive or reverse
- Dark, burnt-smelling fluid or friction material in the pan
- High transmission temperature readings when towing
Scan the truck first. Sensor, wiring and software problems can look like mechanical failure. If the codes and the fluid both point to internal damage, this 68RFE transmission for sale is a direct replacement that gets the truck back to work quickly, and you can keep the old unit as a rebuild core.
Installation Tips
- Flush or replace the cooler and lines, especially after a converter failure.
- Fit a fresh or verified torque converter and seat it fully on the pump.
- Check the flexplate for cracks.
- Replace both internal and external filters.
- Fill with ATF+4 only and check level hot with the engine running.
- Run the quick learn procedure with a suitable scan tool.
- Drive normally for a while before towing so it can adapt.
Towing and Tuning
Use tow/haul mode, drop to fifth on long climbs with a heavy trailer and watch fluid temperature. Do not add big power to a stock 68RFE. For any used 68RFE transmission for sale that tows regularly, change the fluid and filters every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. If you also need the engine, see our 6.7 Cummins engine guide.
