Built 68RFE Transmission that Handles Huge Horsepower and Extremely Aggressive Applications on the Road, in the Dirt, or at the Track
It's not hard to get the 6.7L Cummins under the hood of your awesome 2007.5-2018 Ram 2500 or 3500 churning out a ton more horsepower and torque with the right combination of tuning, turbo upgrades, injectors, and other bolt-on performance parts. However, the stock 68RFE transmission helping to power your truck already struggles to handle stock power. Tier One's Stage 2 68RFE transmission is our most popular 68RFE transmission option and comes with all of the upgraded components necessary to let your 6.7L Cummins Ram hit huge levels of power and dominate your competition on the street, at the track, or off the beaten path. The Tier One Stage 2 built 68RFE transmission can hold up to 750 horsepower, making it capable of holding power from all put the most aggressive tuning and performance upgrades. On top of improved power handling, we here at Tier One also include all the hardware and components necessary to fix common issues with the 68RFE so that your truck gets clean shifting and reliable operation, even when it's making massive power and torque. The Stage 2 68RFE transmission is the perfect choice for 6.7L Cummins Rams that are pushing out serious power while also towing heavy, rocking big tires for off-roading, hitting the sled pulls, or even killing it at the Run-What-You-Brung drag nights at your local track. The Stage 2 comes with both high-strength internal components, extremely strong external parts, and new replacement items that all work together to ensure your truck can safely make a ton of power and use that power whenever and wherever you need.
Includes a Full Suite of Billet Components and Performance Transmission Parts to Reliably Hold Big-Time Horsepower
The Tier One Stage 2 Transmissions are built with care with technicians that have decades of combined experience in the performance transmission market. Each Stage 2 68RFE starts its life as factory 68RFE core that's fully disassembled, cleaned, and thoroughly inspected for damage before being repurposed for a Stage 2 68RFE transmission build. We include a SunCoast billet triple-disc torque converter that's resistant to warp and whose three discs provide a ton of surface area for holding power and load. Replacing the stock input shaft is a Sonnax billet input shaft made out of 300M steel that can handle and hold huge power in extremely aggressive applications. The Stage 2 68RFE transmission comes standard with a billet steel input clutch drum that solidly holds the clutch packs in place and resists warping and shifting even under extreme levels of power and torque. Tier One includes a billet 4C spring retainer that helps prevent gear walkout and premature failures at elevated levels of power. The Stage 2 comes with a billet steel 2C piston that handles the strain of extra horsepower better than stock. Each Tier One Stage 2 transmission includes a rollerized sprag that handles high-powered lockups and aggressive shifting much more effectively than stock. The heart of the Stage 2 68RFE is its Tier One Billet High Pressure Valve Body that features a billet aluminum construction that resists flex under load and utilizes deep worm tracks for increased fluid flow and cooling. The valve body also features a bonded separator plate that better seals the work tracks and prevents cross-leaks. Each transmission comes with a deep transmission pan that holds more fluid than stock to improve cooling. The Stage 2 transmission is also fitted with a high-performance rebuild kit that includes new wearable parts with 14 overdrive clutches, 4 2C clutches, and 4 4C clutches. Tier One throws in a new OEM solenoid pack and OEM line sensor to ensure proper operation. Each Stage 2 68RFE transmission is topped off with new seals and gaskets before being air-checked for leaks.
Fully Overhauled 68FRE Transmission for Excellent Reliability
During our build of your 68RFE Stage 2 transmission, we here at Tier One go over every millimeter of its internal components to guarantee excellent function and reliability. All parts are disassembled and cleaned from our OEM cores to ensure your new 68RFE transmission is free from contaminants and other debris. We carefully inspect your transmission's planetary gear train for damage before fully speccing all bearings and washers for endplay. The original transmission pump is flat-sanded, checked for proper clearances, and vacuum-tested. The valve body is likewise flat-sanded and its solenoids thoroughly inspected for better than OEM function, and we replace the OEM accumulator plate to avoid potential codes and issues down the road. Each transmission is also fitted with a TIG-welded planetary pinions. The performance rebuild kit includes new Borg Warner clutches, seals, gaskets, and sealing rings to replace all the wearable parts of the transmission before it's installed on your Ram 2500 or Ram 3500.
Thorough Testing of the Valve Body and Entire Transmission Before Shipping
We here at Tier One take pride in every built 68RFE transmission we manufacture for the Ram 6.7L Cummins trucks. To make sure that you get a transmission that's as tough as your truck, Tier One puts both the valve bodies and the entire assembled transmission through rigorous testing to ensure you get the reliability you need for heavy towing and hauling applications with your 6.7L Cummins diesel. Before the assembly of the valve body, it goes through flat-sanding vacuum-testing. All valve body solenoids are carefully tested to ensure flawless operation. After assembly of the valve body, it goes through rigorous dyno-testing to ensure proper fluid flow, line pressures, and solenoid operation. After final assembly of the transmission itself, we put it through a complete air-check to find potential leaks before putting the entire transmission on our in-house transmission dyno to ensure proper operation, performance, and power-holding.
