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.

"Installed mine and my transmission ran 10 to 15 degrees cooler, more fluid capacity is a plus. First time my transmission was serviced with new filters, glad an exited I did. Cooler fluid means more transmission life, and the magnetic drain plug. Cant wait to change my fluid again. Great product and engineered right, highly recommend"
"Looks good and well made casting, their temp they claim it will drop is not accurate. I didn’t notice any temp drop over all, just took a little longer to get up to temp. This is also with a t stat bypass installed before which dropped 20+ degrees on its own (160-165), all this pan does is take it a little longer to get to the temps the bypass dropped it to on its own. Normal highway driving, no trailer at the time but I do have a lot of tools in the bed. SETX mid summer driving also so I’m sure in the cooler months it will drop some"
"Outstanding performance! I also had a thermal bypass installed with the Banks Ram air transmission pan. Transmission temperature has decreased 25/27 degrees. Towing the gooseneck today it never broke 150. Thanks Banks!"
"Installed this pan on my 2012 RAM 1500 with a 65RFE. Had to get the exhaust crossover clearanced at a shop beforehand, but install was dead easy, and it dropped my temps considerably. 92-95F outside temps and the trans fluid never went over 150F cruising unloaded. Should be able to keep this under 170F towing."
"Just installed the Ram Air Transmission pan on my 2024 Limited Longhorn Mega Cab at 40K miles, and I couldn't be happier with its performance. Just today, the ambient temp is 106, and the transmission stays between 172 and 174. For reference, I did NOT do a thermal bypass block at the same time, so this is exactly where it should be on the low end of the temperature spectrum. I have noticed that the fluid cools much faster when the truck isn't running as well. Another testament to its performance. Lastly, because I was a bit shocked by this, it took 14. 5 quarts to refill to the full hot mark after dropping the pan, replacing both filters, and letting it drain until it stopped with them removed. Wish I had checked the level before the service to see where it was, but I suspect it was low from the factory. Thanks again Banks for another phenomenal product."
"2024 Ram 3500 DRW w/ 68RFE. I performed the install at 31,000 miles. The pan install wasn't that bad. If you change filters while doing the install, it takes forever for the fluid to completely drain after you remove the canister filter (like an hour of it constantly flowing). When I refilled, it took exactly 14 quarts to get back to the hot/full mark while at 165 degrees. Overall I was kind of surprised at how much of a difference the pan made in terms of cooling. With the stock pan, my truck would hit 168 (and stay there indefinitely) within 5-6 miles. With this new pan and increased fluid capacity, I don't even get up to 168 on my ~20 mile drive to work at 75mph. The fluid will also now 'cool down' while driving, which I previously never saw with the stock pan. I primarily bought this just for the drain plug, but it's nice to know it actually does yield tangible cooling benefits while driving."
"My question is when are you going to come out with the transmission pan for the 2016 Ram 3500 with the Aisin transmission and the front differential cover so I can match the rear differential cover"
"Another great product from banks. I finally got around to install the transmission pan and I have definitely noticed a drop in temperature. I could tell my transmission has been running better."
"It was time to change my transmission filters and fluid so I ordered Banks new transmission pan. I received it today and it looks amazing. The build quality is unreal. The stock pan is stamped from sheet metal so it’s small and flimsy. The banks pan is well built and weighs 3 times as much. It’s a win win situation all the way around!"
"Fantastic! On my 2012 mega cab 6. 7, my trans temps always concerned me and I had to keep the trans temp screen up, I’ve seen temps high as 220 towing about 10,000# Now with the ram air pan I’m seeing nothing higher than 170° on grades. No longer do I have to shift into 5th and slow down to keep trans temps in check. Thank you Gale Banks for awesome products! I also have the monster ram intake and engine killer grid delete installed. I love my truck and I love Banks products !!"
