Description
45RFE / 545RFE / 65RFE / 66RFE / 68RFE Deep As-Cast Transmission Pan, PML 11079-AC. (2 Quarts Over)
PML Transmission Pans feature sand-cast aluminum construction with raised fins, thick walls to add strength to the transmission case, and, also, a machined gasket surface for a secure seal.
This PML extra capacity heavy duty transmission oil pan fits the Dodge RFE series of transmissions, such as the 68RFE, 545RFE, and 45RFE. It is designed specifically for trucks and SUVs with exhaust or cross member interference.
Additionally, this pan features:
- Extra capacity
- Follows shape of stock pan for exhaust and frame clearance
- Fins and aluminum construction to dissipate heat from transmission fluid
- Drain plug for easier maintenance
- Thick walls to add strength to the transmission housing
- Thick gasket flange, machined flat, for a leak-free seal
- Clearance for cross members and exhausts
PML designed this 2 quart over stock transmission oil pan with a step at the rear to clear the exhaust routed under the stock pan on some trucks and SUVs, generally, including those with Hemi engines. This pan can replace the stock pan on many configurations of these vehicles with a Chrysler Dodge 45RFE, 545RFE, 65RFE, 66RFE, and 68RFE:
-
- Dakota with 4.7 V8 engine, 2000 to 2011
- Durango with 4.7 V8 engine, 2000 to 2012
-
- Ram 1500, 2002 to 2016 (2012 to 2014 4.7l engine trucks check clearance)
- Ram 2500 and 3500, Hemi engine, 2006 to 2018
- Ram 2500 Power Wagon, Hemi engine, 2006 to 2018
- Ram 2500 and 3500, with 6.7 liter diesel engine, 2007 1/2 and newer (some 3500 trucks may need an AS69RC pan)
- Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4.7 or 5.7 V8 engine, 1999 to 2004
- Jeep Liberty, 2002 to 2004, 3.7 (check clearance, see Jeep Transmission Pan Guidelines web page)
- Jeep Liberty CRD, 2005 and 2006 (check skid plate)
- Jeep Wrangler 2010 and 2011 2.8 Diesel (check skid plate)
Always check your vehicle to verify configuration and clearance, because this pan will not work on 8 or 9 speed or Aisin transmissions.
2013 and newer diesel engine trucks: cooler lines are routed under the stock pan on these trucks. However, this pan will not clear them.
Jeep Owners: So, 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 probably not enough space. PML part number 11161 has not been tried and is slightly different from other PML 45RFE to 68RFE pans.
Skid Plates: Specifically, 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.
