MAG HYTEC 68RFE Transmission Pan

Awesome pan, no need to use any RTV use their fiber gasket that is supplied. When I ordered this I read all these reviews about moving the transmission lines out of the way. At least on 2018 4x4 Cummins 68RFE no need to even touch them, I put the pan on with gasket dry one handed while starting the cap bolts with 6" 1/4" extension went smooth. Plenty of clearance for trans cooler lines, this was the only question or issue thought I was going to run into after reading other reviews but it goes right on,no problems hitting the cooler filter. This is a great product keeps trans overall cooler especially notice it lower speed hauling/city driving. Now I can't speak for earlier year RAMs with the 6.7/68RFE but don't let cooler line statements scare you from doing this job. Total job took me an hour (not including adding ATF+4) my truck took exactly 12 qts with both filters changed. Add a Sonnax line booster, stay away from adding chips/programmers and you will have a bullet proof 300K+ truck. I average 19+ mpg city/22.5-23.5 mpg freeway/ 17.5-18.5 mpg towing. Real world numbers stock truck only addition was replacent K&N air filter. Hope this review helps somebody.

Don't let the hype of moving transmission lines discourage you. Simply take one bolt holding the lines up, slightly push lines out of the way, install mag-hytec oil pan and put bolt back into place, there's so much clearance once it's installed there is no worries. I was worried when I bought this and reading the reviews about moving lines I almost decided not to get it. Glad I went thru with the install. The pan has clearance made for the lines once it's installed. Look at the pics I uploaded.... Doesn't get any better. I just installed it today so I might make changes to this review but for now it's 5 stars highly recommend this product. Good quality material, beefy and clean machine work, all parts needed are included except rtv but they don't say to use it not to use it, I did just to hold the gasket in place. They even include the Allen keys or wrenches needed for basic caveman install.

Perfect fit for my 2012 ram 3500. Dropped my temp considerably.

This is a high quality pan that fixes issues with the stock pan. It gives you a drain plug, another temp port and extra fluid capacity. It’s a straightforward swap, though not really easy due to the Allen head bolts included. I’d prefer a hex head or even a star/torx. But oh well. Great pan and a necessary upgrade for your 68RFEThere was a confusing issue with the shipping and when I reached out, the seller was quick to respond, extremely helpful and courteous. He got the issue sorted out, and maintained contact to make sure things went well.It was a good overall experience.

Very heavy and EXCELLENT fit and finish. Do not really see a difference in temperature other than it takes a little bit longer to get to normal operating temperature. It does hold a more consistent temperature when towing. Adding 3 quarts to the capacity is a good thing for the overall wear and tear. My transmission technician says that this is the best brand of covers/pans. I’m saving my pennies for axle covers next👍🏻

No more leaks. Followed instructions and vwolla! It is heavy to do by yourself. Comes with all the new hardware and gasket at the best price I could find. Buy this before you attempt to reuse the old pan. I did everything perfectly on the oem pan and still got a leak. (So maybe not perfectly) I live by the spec torque settings and one day after using the oem pan, my gasket thinned out and the bolts were looser. Reset torque due to leak. Repeat x3 days. I used rtv and let it dry and everything. Still had a leak. A few days later I bought this pan.Pressure wash the old pan and surrounding area before dropping it (makes the job a lot cleaner). Get a Rubbermaid bin and cut top off so it fits under the pan. Still leave majority of bin so you can hold your old oil without overflow. My pan was stuck after all bolts removed, I got a 1” putty knife and filed the end so sharp without burs. Then separated it. Cleaned making sure not to gouge the aluminum tranny surface. Put new pan on and hand tight bolts. Then torque to spec in crisscross pattern. No leaks!!!

Quality is great. Fit was perfect. Easy to install and keeps my transmission cooler.

I have installed several of Mag-Hytec pans on various trucks I have owned over the years. I like the quality and the ability to install a tranny temp probe along with the ability to drain the fluid, without making a mess! I tow our travel trailer and like to have the extra fluid capacity to help keep transmission temps down. I purchased this pan for my 18 Power Wagon, and it was a bit difficult to install, ( luckily the truck is new), since I had to drop the exhaust to install the pan. I was surprised that it came with a gasket and not the reusable silicon (?) gasket the older pans I used had. Reinstalling the exhaust to the manifolds placed the cross over pipe from the left bank very close to the rear bottom of the new pan, there is approximately an 1/8" cleat between the pan and exhaust pipe. It is my opinion that this is too close to the pan and would radiate heat into the transmission fluid thru the higher temp of the pan in the area of the pipe crossing. I ordered some DEI Titanium heat wrap to keep the exhaust heat off the pan, but I think I am going to have to modify the cross pipe by bending it such that there will be more clearance between the pipe and the pan. Another option (not a consideration right now) would be to grind down the raised fins on the pan to create the additional clearance I would like to see.
