ATS 3141692326 68RFE Transmission Case Brace 07.5-22 Ram 6.7L Cummins
Description
One of the most common failures of the 68RFE six speed automatic transmissions is case failure. And even if you build your transmission for increased power, this will still not prevent against the case cracking. Many will argue that adding an aftermarket transmission pan will alleviate this issue as they are built stronger than the factory stamped steel units they replace, in turn providing rigidity to the case. While this may help, its still not enough. The only way you can rest assured you will not be left with a gaping hole in the side of your expensive transmission is with the installation of a case brace.

About ATS Diesel Performance
ATS DIESEL PERFORMANCE
ATS Diesel Performance, based out of Arvada, Colorado, is a diesel performance manufacturing company that designs, engineers, and manufactures upgraded transmission components, valve bodies, patented heavy-duty torque converters, exhaust and intake manifolds, electronics, turbochargers, dual CP3 injection pumps, and more for Cummins, Powerstroke, and Duramax powered diesel trucks. Operating out of a humongous 110,000 square foot facility in the heart of the Rocky Mountains allows ATS to keep operations in-house, as opposed to overseas sourcing, and then grueling test their products at altitude and through grades and descents that would make other companies think twice. From full-time RV users who travel nonstop to high-horsepower competition-based vehicles, ATS has the answers.
ATS DIESEL TRANSMISSIONSClint Cannon and Ranee Elder founded Automotive Transmission Specialists in 1993. At that time, the company specialized in transmission repair for all types of vehicles. In 1997, the company "Performance Torque Converters" was founded, and they started doing torque converter rebuilds in-house. Bringing the capability of building torque converters in-house gave them more flexibility to service their racing customers. As the popularity of diesel trucks grew and more people became aware of the power upgrades available for their diesels, problems with diesel transmissions emerged.
Clint started research and development into a more robust torque converter to address the transmission issues. It was discovered that a clutch pack design was the answer to providing a robust torque converter. The development of the TripleLok Torque Converter and the company's focus on Diesel Performance products resulted in a rename of the company to ATS Diesel Performance.
By having their foot in the door before most, it allowed ATS Diesels transmission upgrades to grow with the demands of diesel trucks, putting them at the forefront of reliability. Fortunately for us, Clint didn't stop with transmissions and began to explore and refine upgraded turbochargers, intake and exhaust manifolds, and anything else to generate additional power with the ever-present mindset of maintaining powertrain reliability.
ATS Diesel products are proudly made in the USA.

ATS 3141692326 Case Brace for 68RFE
"Great product. Quality made and easy to install. Excellent service from DPP!"
Very strong and happy with
"Very strong and happy with it"
Would suggest this to anyone trying to strengthen the 68RF
"Great fit. Easy install."
Well made product
"Well made and tight tolerances, all of the needed hardware is included. However, no instructions are included. This is a straight forward install but it's a tight space to work in and I wasn't positive of orientation until I looked online. Definitely need an assortment of extensions and adapters to get to the two main bolts holding the halves together. Took me about 30 minutes or so."
Hoping to prevent 68rfe case crack.
"I plan to install the brace on a 2007 3500 dually. We pull a 40 ft toy hauler that gets loaded down occasionally. I'm hoping that the brace will prevent a possible case crack. The brace seems to be well made."
Q&A
- Can I put this reinforcement on when the transmission is installed
- Yes you can install it with the transmission still in the truck. I would recommend a spare set of hands. There are some wiring harnesses you have to move. Make sure you don't pinch any. -Sands
- how does this brace attach to the case? are there preexisting bolt holes? is drilling and tapping required? if so does the brace include all required hardware and complete detailed instructions with digital photos?
- It is a bolt on unit. Uses existing bolt holes. Comes with all the hardware needed. I don't recall if there is instructions or not, but it is a straight forward install, will only go on one way.
- I see that this is installed on top of the transmission... does that mean that it can only be installed when the trans is not in the truck or can it be installed from underneath the vehicle?
- You would need to lower the transmission/engine slightly to gain access in order to install that. It can be done, would be much easier if you already had it out though.
