Another "BOOM" find by Corey. If you have an rfe 2011 or later look for your bypass valve and replace with this product. Watch the video on that page, if your rfe is in the 200f temp range, easy fix.....

That's Crazy!!! I was just under my truck yesterday doing my monthly inspection and was looking at this valve, I had no idea what it was.

Another CAFE bs gimmick.

I bet you don't even need that, but find a way to take other one off and connect lines. seams like a nobrainer for 100 bucks though.

Worth the $103 to make it easy IMO, but you are right if you could find the right adapter or some correct fittings and rubber hose.

Anyone use the 68RFE Mag Hytec Pan on the 66RFE? With what’s been discussed in her and the Synthetic Oil thread, I’m going to do this Mod. I don’t think I’m off losing the truck, but if I do, I’ll just sell the parts.

I used that Jeff, so far so good. The orange/red one takes 24 hours to cure.

Cast finish from PML painted white. Is this pic good enough? Or are you looking for something else?

Nope that’s perfect, do you think their deeper one would fit with the exhaust crossover? Or did you get the Deep Step Pan for that reason?

Does it all drain out with the shape of it? Looks like the deepest part of the Pan is opposite side from the drain plug.
