This extra deep PML oil pan for Dodge RFE transmissions is designed to replace the stock pan on these vehicles:

• Ram 2500 & 3500, 2WD and 4WD, with 6.7 liter diesel engine, 2007½ to 2012 or 2013 (the 3500 HD Cab & Chassis has the Aisin transmission so this pan will not work)
• Ram 1500 with Hemi engine, 2002 - 2005
• Ram 1500 with 4.7 V8 engine, 2002 to 2011, check clearance on 2012 to 2014
• 2WD Dakota with 4.7 V8 engine, 2000 - 2004
• 2WD Durango with 4.7 V8 engine, 2000 - 2003
• Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4.7 V8 engine, 1999 - 2004

2013 and newer trucks: Cooler lines run under the stock transmission pan on many models, starting in 2013. Several customers have installed PML's deep RFE pan with minor bending of the bracket holding the cooler lines. If you have a 2013 or newer truck, check carefully for clearance. See our deep RFE pan for an example of an installation on a 2014 Ram 2500.

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 a skid plate, you may need to move it downwards away from the transmission pan. Please see installations below for customers who have provided pictures of their installations, including one with skid plate modifications. These Jeeps (along with some Dodge vehicles) usually have skid plates that limit clearance:

• Liberty CRD, 2005 and 2006 (check skid plate and see installations below)
• Wrangler 2010 and 2011 2.8 Diesel (check skid plate)
• Grand Cherokee, 2005 to 2010 (check skid plate)

When Dodge decided to use the transmission from the Hemi trucks on the 6.7 liter diesel powered trucks, PML knew that the trucks would see even heavier towing use and increased oil capacity would be a benefit. PML deep pan (part number 10304) and extra deep pan (part number 11039) fit the same applications with the same exceptions.

The following vehicles most likely will need a PML pan with a step to avoid inteference from the exhaust or frame cross members. Please see part number 11078 or part number 11079 if you have:

• Ram 1500 with Hemi engine, 2006 & newer (exhaust)
• Ram 2500 & 3500 with Hemi engine (exhaust)
• 4WD Dakota 2000 - 2004 and 4WD Durango 2000 - 2003 (frame)
• Dakota 2005 & newer and Durango 2004 & newer (frame)
• Durango with Hemi engine (check for clearance with a catalytic converter in the front)
• Jeep Grand Cherokee with Hemi engine: (check for clearance with a catalytic converter in the front)
