2009 Power Wagon tranny filter

[Greg Caldwell]

I'm getting ready to full flush 17 qts of Amsoil in my tranny for some towing. The tranny filters show Wix 58843 for deep pan or Wix 58846 for shallow pan. I can't figure out which pan is on my stock truck?

Deep.

I recommend buying oe filters for the RFE trans. I've had drainback issues with aftermarket filters, as have many others. They aren't much more expensive.

Thanks for the tip, that's probably what the shop will do.

My 2009 Dodge Ram 1500w/ 545RFE , 2 wheel drive took the shallow transmission sump filter

I think
If it was a 4 wheel drive, it would have taken the deeper filter

Anyone try a deeper trans pan? Worth it? Like PML

 

[Greg Caldwell]

I think you're probably right, thanks.

rfe synthetic filter options

must have a metal thread upgrade regardless, we found these are the best as in tightest fit.

rfe oem filters are paper and are worthless after a year, but synthetic filters outlast any oils, plenty of testing on ram forum spanning a decade. Plus, we have lost rfe transmissions because of those plastic threads, when they break for a myriad of reasons, you loose the transmission, there are a couple documented cases on ram forum.

Hadn't heard about that, something to check out. Thanks
