BD TowMaster 68RFE Transmission & Converter Package 19-24 Ram 6.7L Cummins
The 68RFE transmission in a Ram is almost as important as the marrying of a Cummins in a Dodge. For YEARS, Dodge has put lackluster transmissions behind the Cummins powerhouse, and have regrettably developed a poor reputation for it. When the 2007.5 6.7L was released, it came featuring the 68RFE, and it was proven to be a good choice. This new six speed automatic has proven itself to be able to handle a TON more abuse compared to its predecessors. But with any transmission, it has its limitations.
There are many of those whom have already pushed the limits of their transmission with performance enhancements and hauling heavy loads that know all too well how much is too much for the 68RFE. BD transmissions are designed to take on what most 68RFE owners are looking for - responding with smooth sharp shifts to keep the engine in the torque range required.
BD has done extensive research to determine the failure points of the 68RFE and to correct them. For instance, BD's 68RFE pumps have a new regulator valve design, and along with a new valve body separator plate, can deliver up to 250 PSI clutch apply pressure with transmission tuining. This provides 150% MORE holding force above stock.
All the clutch packs and drums have new machined designs with the maximum amount of heat/energy/capacity in mind. Special machining has been done to the second gear piston to incorporate additional thick as stock clutch fiber and steel plates. The fourth gear apply piston has been modified to accept new heavier BILLET retainer and a steel girdle is applied to strengthen the piston and give a broader apply area.
The low and reverse sprag clutch with dog-bone style dawgs that bind and wedge themselves into destruction are also replaced with a BD EXCLUSIVE, heavy duty constructed cam and roller style one-way clutch, preventing these explosive failures.
Each transmission is dyno tested and comes with BD's heavy duty deep sump aluminum transmission pan to add strength to the case preventing flexing and internal oil leakage.
CONVERTER OPTIONS:
PROFORCE TORQUE CONVERTER
- Enhanced Stall - Street/Towing applications
- Torque multiplying cast aluminum stators
- Lower rpm response than the stock converter
- More efficient operation
- Less heat and better fuel economy
- Stamp-forged steel front cover
- Furnace-brazed fins
PROFORCE 3D TORQUE CONVERTER
- Triple Disc
- HD springs absorb shock of engagement
- Stamp forged 1-piece cover
- Eliminates warpage from clutch heat
- Taller cover can be rebuilt more often
- Trapezoid teeth design
- Engineered tighter tolerances
- Self-centering trapezoid teeth design increases contact decreases wear and chatter
- Thrust bearings - not plastic thrust washers
- Riveted piston ensures alignment & eliminates vibration or embrittlement from welding
- Cast stator designs maximizes torque
- New sprag components ensure long term durability
- Furnaced brazed turbine fins for improved fluid coupling efficiency
- Reduced overall weight by 12lbs compared to competitors
The larger input shaft of the 68RFE will handle the shock of the Triple Torque Force 3-clutch engagement, but if you are demanding more power with less risk, we recommend a billet input shaft.......broken shafts are NOT covered under the warranty program.
BD BIG STACK ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The factory 68RFE features a poorly designed overdrive clutch pack and shaft, which can lead to premature failure of the transmission. While many companies will merely produce thinner clutches in order to increase the clutch count, because the clutches are already relatively thin, in the 68RFE this is not the best option. BD determined a method that when combined with their Big Stack Overdrive Shaft, allows for additional clutches made from QT100 for less deflection, less wear, and substantially more holding capacity.
- BD's large overdrive clutch spline and beefy high strength billet QT100 reaction plates ensure less deflection and more uniform clutch face engagement.
- BD's exclusive design gives an additional four overdrive clutches - 16 total - for torque holding capacity of 33% over stock!
SHIPPING POLICY - Due to the size and weight of transmissions, they cannot be shipped through traditional couriers, such as UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc. and MUST be shipped via truck freight. We do not offer free shipping on transmissions, however, we do offer a very competitive rate charged at checkout. Once your core transmission is ready for pick up, you just need to give us a call or send us an e-mail with your original order number and the core tag on the transmission, and we can supply you with a quote on the return shipping as that is not covered in the original shipping cost. Otherwise, we give you the option to coordinate the return shipping on your own and independently pay your courier of choice. As always, if you have any questions, give us a call or send us an e-mail.
