This transmission pan features:

  • 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
  • Compatible with most vehicles as the transmission pan follows the shape of the stock pan with a step and a relief, not just a step

    PML designed this pan for vehicles with one of the Dodge RFE transmissions and the exhaust or cross frame members close to the stock pan. Configurations vary so always check your vehicle to verify transmission and clearance. Here are some examples of vehicles that have installed this pan:

    Dodge Trucks and SUVs:

  • Dakota with 4.7 V8, 4WD, 2000 2004
  • Dakota with 3.7 V6, 2004
  • Dakota with 4.7 V8, 2005 2010
  • Durango with 4.7 V8, 4WD, 2000 2003
  • Durango with 5.7 V8, 2004 2009
  • Ram 1500 with Hemi, 2006 to 2013, 4, 5 or 6 speed transmission
  • Ram 2500 with Hemi, 2003 to 2013, 4, 5 or 6 speed transmission
  • Ram 3500 with Hemi, 2003 to 2013, 4, 5 or 6 speed transmission
  • 2014 and newer trucks: Cooler lines run under the stock transmission pan on many models. We are working with our customers to determine if this pan will work (October 2014). If you have a 2014 or newer truck, check carefully for clearance and let us know what you find.

    Jeep owners: we have reports and pictures that the exhaust is too close to this pan on the pan's tallest side and the exhaust cannot be re-routed (2005 4.7 Grand Cherokee 4x4 and a 2007 Commander 4.7 4x4).

    Dakota Owners and those with front routed exhaust: Other aftermarket pans have the step but not the curved relief for vehicles with the exausted routed along the front of the pan. This pan has both.

    PML makes four different pans for the Dodge RFE transmission series (45RFE, 5-45RFE, 65RFE, 66RFE, 68RFE). The stock pans and filters are also shown in the image below for reference.


    If you have skidplates, check how much space you have as this pan is taller than stock.

    Note: This pan works with the "4WD" filter only since it follows the shape of the stock "4WD" transmission oil pan.
