Pacific Performance Engineering Heavy-Duty 68RFE Transmission Pan Brushed Aluminum — +3 qt Capacity, Cooling Fins

PPE Heavy Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan (Brushed) 228052110 replaces the factory pan on Dodge Ram 2500/3500 6.7L 68RFE transmissions to increase fluid capacity, improve cooling, and trap ferrous debris for longer component life.

This PPE (Pacific Performance Engineering) heavy duty transmission pan is a direct-fit upgrade engineered for the 68RFE transmission used in Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 6.7L models. Machined from cast aluminum with a brushed finish, the pan expands fluid capacity by three quarts and adds both internal heat sinks and external cooling fins to help reduce operating temperatures. A neodymium-equipped stainless steel drain plug captures harmful ferrous particles while two NPT ports accept temperature probes or accessories. The pan is compatible with the OEM gasket and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

How does this pan lower transmission fluid temperature?

The pan combines increased fluid volume with aluminum construction and an array of cooling fins to shed heat more effectively than the stock stamped pan. Cooler fluid circulates through the transmission system and reduces thermal stress during towing, hauling, or prolonged driving.

• 3-quart greater fluid capacity improves heat absorption and thermal inertia
• External cooling fins increase surface area for passive heat dissipation
• Internal heat sinks promote quicker transfer of heat away from the fluid
• Cast aluminum construction conducts heat better than stamped steel

What filtration and debris protection does the PPE pan provide?

The pan includes a 1-inch stainless steel drain plug fitted with a powerful neodymium magnet that attracts and holds ferrous particles suspended in the fluid. For enhanced filtration, the pan is designed to pair with PPE’s larger media spin-on filter to reduce contaminant circulation through the valve body and clutches.

• Neodymium-equipped drain plug captures metal shavings and wear particles
• Drain plug simplifies fluid changes and debris inspection
• Compatible with PPE 228052150 spin-on filter offering 57% more filtration media
• Two NPT ports allow for additional condition-monitoring hardware

Will this pan fit my Ram and what installation considerations are there?

The 228052110 pan is manufactured as a direct replacement for the 68RFE transmission on Dodge Ram 2500/3500 6.7L trucks and accepts the OEM gasket for straightforward installation. Installers should verify torque specs, confirm clearance for the larger capacity, and consider using the optional PPE filter for full-system protection.

• Direct-fit for Ram 2500/3500 6.7L 68RFE transmissions
• Uses the OEM gasket for a simple swap-out process
• Includes two NPT ports for temperature probes or sensors
• Recommended pairing with PPE’s larger spin-on transmission filter

How durable is the pan and what warranty is offered?

Machined from cast aluminum with a brushed finish, the pan resists denting better than thin stamped pans and includes finned surfaces that retain structural stiffness. Pacific Performance Engineering supports this heavy duty pan with a limited lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use.

• Cast aluminum body for improved durability and heat conduction
• Brushed finish resists minor surface blemishes and matches engine-bay aesthetics
• Finned design adds strength and cooling performance
• Limited lifetime warranty from Pacific Performance Engineering

Who this product is for: This PPE Heavy Duty Transmission Pan is aimed at Ram owners who tow, haul, or operate their 6.7L 68RFE-equipped trucks under heavier loads or higher duty cycles and want improved cooling, easier fluid maintenance, and metal particle capture. It’s also appropriate for technicians and DIYers seeking a direct-fit, durable upgrade that accepts temperature probes and an upgraded spin-on filter for comprehensive transmission protection.
