Banks Ram transmisson pan
"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."

About This Product
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.
Fitment Note
Fits 2011 and 2012 High Output with 68RFE transmission.
68RFE trucks can be identified easily because the transmission oil dipstick is on the passenger side of the engine bay.

Why It's Better
Engineered To Run Cool
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.
Forced Air Cooling
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.
Banks vs Stock
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.
Die-Cast vs Sand-Cast
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.

Banks transmission pan
"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!"
Drop it like it’s Hot. . it won’t be anymore!
"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 !!"
The choice is simple
"Thing is a piece of artwork. The machining and design is next level. Sure it's a few bucks more than the average aftermarket pans, but when you see the two next to each other. . . you're wasting your money on other pans. They don't compare. The option is simple and binary. . . keep your stock pan. . . or run the Banks."
Great
"Installed last week noticed a 30 degrees cooler. Pulling my 5th wheel up hills."
So far, so good!
"I purchased the Banks intake, ram air, and transmission cover solutions for my 2015 Ram 2500, 6. 7 Cummins. My son did the installations(he’s an ASE certified technician) without any issues. Truck runs without issues. I hauled a 20’ car hauler(14000# GVWR, trailer weighs about 3000#)with a 6000# load 400 miles and the transmission temp never topped 170°, and I averaged over 17mpg in some very hilly terrain. So far I am satisfied with the results. Still contemplating the boost tube upgrade??"
Another great Banks product.
"Another great product by Gale Banks and crew. I'm a mechanical engineer, the attention to detail is second to none. The quality of the bolts, the detail put into the drain plug, the air scoop, and the alignment of the interior ribs with the external ribs which is basic design details for optimum heat transfer. Really impressed."
2022 Ram 3500 DRW
"Already notice transmission is running cooler then before I would Trust Banks power and AMSOIL any day of the week both take pride in there manufacturing process and quality not to mention it looks good under there"
Love it
"This is a great addition to my 2024 Ram 2500 especially when hauling my RV all over the country. Temps stay low and I have a little peace of mind"
Great - 2 complaints
"Quick and easy. Wish it would've came with a tube of gasket maker and the drain plug threads were rough. Could spin thebplug with fingers, had to use a wrench after 2nd thread. . . those 2 things make it 4 star. You don't need the fancy slide hammer to change the filter either. Cheapo flat head screw driver wrapped on electrical tape, bent 90 degree and it popped right out. Pan went on good. Holds 12 quarts. Transmission now runs at 170 with no load. But it takes about 20 miles of driving to get there. Seems like it goes to 150 and then takes a long time to get any higher. Happy."
Q&A
- Do you plan on making one of these for the aisin Trans, or is it simply unnecessary because the aisin is is a better tranny than the 68rfe, and the extra cooling is unnecessary?
- Hey thanks for messaging us, we are discussing making one, but we don't have any ETA at this time.
- I know you tend to specialize in the diesel realm, but will this fit the hemi models as well or is there interference ahead of the transmission?
- It wont fit on gas motors. We may develop one in the future, but at this time we have no plans.
- Dose this pan have a support in it to hold the front side of the filter into the valve body.
- It doesn't have a support, the filter is secured via the torx screw.
- I see that you can buy the ATF with it which makes it so much more convenient, but doesn't the newer model rams require atf +4 and not regular atf? I just want be sure I’m putting in the right fluid that my truck calls for.
- We recommend using the oil and filter specified in the vehicle owners manual.
- If I have already done a thermal bypass mod on my 68rfe, will my transmission still benefit from this pan, or is it just redundant at that point?
- While the bypass mod keeps the fluid flowing, you will be just circulating the heat. A Ram-air Transmission pan will provide both cooling and more capacity.
