We're bringing forced air cooling to the RAM 68RFE transmission. Using technology from our patented differential covers, the Banks Ram-Air Transmission Pan cools quicker than stock and all competitors. This extends fluid life. An additional three quarts of capacity, a break-away Ram-Air scoop, and Banks FlowThru® Fins aid in cooling. Cooler fluid means a longer-lasting bearings and clutch packs. The design is so innovative, it was awarded a U.S. patent.
The Banks Ram Air Transmission Pan for 2007.5-2024 RAM trucks with the 68RFE transmission outperforms and outcools the competition by leveraging decades of Ram-Air technology and thermal management expertise honed in racing and military engine development.
Taking advantage of the fast-moving cool air under your truck, the Ram-Air Transmission Pans' Patented design provides forced air cooling as it draws ambient air through the large forward-facing scoop and through the external heat radiation fins.
Unlike competitive designs where the metal of the pan hangs the lowest, the Ram-Air Transmission Pan is engineered so that the lowest point is only the sacrificial front scoop while still providing 3 additional quarts of fluid capacity.
The plastic scoop is also designed to break away without causing damage to your pan, just in case. If this happens to you, let us know and we will send a replacement Ram-Air scoop on the house.
•1/8" NPT port for easily adding a supplemental temperature sensor.
•22 deep-cut external radiator fins provide more exposed surface area to the cool air moving under the truck.
•20 internal fins absorb more heat from the oil than a standard or all aftermarket pans.
•High temp resistant ferrite magnetic drain plug collect debris at lowest point.
•Die-cast process provides a smoother, less porous interior surface and improves fluid flow in the pan.
The Banks proprietary FlowThru Fins® maximize thermal energy transfer by lining up the internal absorption and external radiator elements with each other.
Transmission heat is efficiently drawn from the fluid, reducing stress on your RAM's cooling and lubrication systems.
The stock 68RFE pan is shallow and made from stamped steel which has no internal or external fins to assist in removing heat from the fluid inside.
Without additional means to cool the fluid, it quickly becomes heat soaked with no way to radiate the additional heat load.
With an additional 3 quart fill capacity and a massive increase in internal and external surface area, transmission heat is efficiently rejected through the casting and back to the cool ambient air under the truck.
All Banks lubrication cooling products are die-cast, not sand-cast like some competitors. Made with far greater precision, a die-cast part is denser, smoother, and has virtually no porosity compared to the equivalent sand-cast part.
Sand-cast parts often retain the sand they were molded with. Sand is an abrasive material that is bad for bearings and cylinder walls. In other words, you don’t want sand in your oil. Finally, our long, thin cooling fins are only possible with a die-cast process. Although this process costs more, it's worth it.

The Ram-Air Transmission Pan offers superior cooling technology, extending fluid life and enhancing durability. Customers appreciate its innovative design and excellent quality, though some note it doesn't fit larger filters and lacks new gaskets or filters.

"The new pan is well worth the money. My transmission temp would be above 170 not even pulling a load. I put the new pan on and pulling a load in 97 degree heat and pulling a load the temperature was at 154. It's definitely a great add on."
"The fitment was perfect. Machining and casting looks flawless. Needed specialized tooling was included. The only thing I was lacking was a bearing puller that my neighbor had luckily for removing the seal on the flat filter. Aside from finding that tool it would’ve installed in about an hour and a half. Looks like a good product. I have yet to test it with a heavy load, but it has to be better than the original one!"
"Quality product. The idea behind the design is awesome, too bad you have to be under the truck to see this beautiful pan. I can't speak much yet for cooling functionality due to the fact that it was just installed. Im sure it works just as great as my other banks products that have been put on my truck."
"I had this transmission pan installed just prior to taking a 4000 mile round trip of National parks in Montana to South Dakota Idaho and back to Las Vegas. Lots of hills and heavy pulling a 30' RV. The trans temp stayed consistently 25 to 30 ° cooler than engine temp. Very happy with the performance."
"I like it the Transmission has not been overheating previously to pan but it’s a Good insurance when it gets hotter summer months that when pulling our RV I’m not worried about overheating the Transmission, I haven’t installed the Scoop yet I will wait until my Cross country Ride ."
"This part is great the only thing that could be better is if the reusable gasket and filters were an add on option for purchase at the same time."
"Super easy install, well built and good looking. It seems to dissipate heat really well."
"Easy to install with video instructions. Removed the inline thermostat as well. WOW, what a difference. Now running 35-50 degrees cooler than the radiator coolant and engine oil temperatures. This includes driving through the Appalachian mountains in mid afternoon summer heat. Banks has conquered the number one transmission killer"
"I recently installed the Ram-Air Transmission cooler on my truck. Here in Nevada, we are exposed to some really high ambient temps and keeping the transmission cool is a challenge, especially when towing. Since the install, i have observed an, almost 25 degree decrease in transmission temps. To add to this, I have also installed the rear differential Ram-Air cover. With the hills and heat that we deal with out here in the West coast, this can only help to keep my drive train solid."
"I am amazed about the big transmission pan. I have a 3500 mile trip behind me and the transmission temperature never went over 167 degrees Fahrenheit. Probably have to get me an upgrade on the transmission cooler"
