Specifications
The 66RFE transmission is a 6-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission introduced by Chrysler in 2012 for gas-powered Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI engines. It combines the aluminum case of the 545RFE with internal components and gear sets derived from the heavier-duty 68RFE, creating a hybrid design intended to handle increased torque demands. Weighing approximately 295β345 lbs and using ATF+4 fluid, the 66RFE features gear ratios of 3.231:1 (1st), 1.837:1 (2nd), 1.410:1 (3rd), 1.000:1 (4th), 0.816:1 (5th), 0.625:1 (6th), and 4.444:1 (reverse). Its design includes 68RFE planetary gears, a 2C clutch, a low/reverse clutch, and a double overdrive configuration across 4th, 5th, and 6th gears.Β
The shift strategy applies various clutch combinations for each gear, such as low/reverse and underdrive in 1st, and overdrive with the 2nd clutch in 6th. Common issues include overdrive clutch failure, 4C binding, and valve body cross-leaks, leading many owners to upgrade with a billet steel-sleeved SSV bore, increased line pressure (150β250+ psi), and a deeper sump pan for added fluid capacity and durability.Β Β

From 2012 to 2018, the Ram 2500 equipped with the 5.7L or 6.4L HEMI used the 66RFE 6-speed automatic transmission. Designed to handle the higher torque output of these gas engines, the 66RFE provided improved durability over earlier RFE units while maintaining smooth electronic shift control. It was commonly paired with both 2WD and 4WD configurations for heavy-duty work and towing applications.Β
Ram 3500 (2012β2018 β 5.7L & 6.4L HEMI, including Chassis Cab)
The 2012β2018 Ram 3500 models powered by the 5.7L or 6.4L HEMI, including Chassis Cab variants, were also equipped with the 66RFE transmission.
