I expect that I know the answer here but looking for a sanity check; 2015 Ram 1500 with the 6 speed RFE transmission. 41k miles. No history of transmission problems. I just dropped the pan and replaced the fluid and both filters as standard maintenance, used Mopar fluid.. have driven it about 300 miles since then and started getting a P0868 code apparent after I begin driving (after about the first 60 seconds or so of driving) . Some of those 300 miles have been towing a car hauler & car (about 6000 lb) and I was in tow/haul for that. P0868 code did not appear until after I finished that drive and returned to just driving around town. Temperatures normal, in fact I don't think this transmission's ever seen the high side of 180F and recently hasn't seen the high side of 150.
My guess is I may have cracked the plastic thread adapter between the spin on filter and the case and the filter is leaking.. but that's really just a guess.
Thoughts? Any other recommendations?
