Product Description
The REVMAX 68RFE-902 Steel Spin-On Filter Screw Upgrade replaces the weak factory plastic insert used in the 68RFE automatic transmission found in many 2007.5–2012 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins. The OE plastic screw is prone to loosening, cracking, or breaking during service, which can cause the transmission filter to fall off and potentially lead to catastrophic transmission failure.
RevMax engineered this upgrade using a high-strength steel insert that provides dramatically improved durability and consistent filter retention. This simple upgrade is considered one of the most important reliability improvements you can make to a 68RFE transmission whether the truck is stock, tuned, or used for towing and heavy-duty applications.
Key Benefits:
- Replaces fragile factory plastic filter screw
- Durable steel construction for long-term reliability
- Prevents filter loosening and potential transmission failure
- Reusable during future transmission filter service
- Recommended upgrade during any 68RFE service or rebuild
This upgrade is widely considered a must-do modification for 68RFE transmissions. If the internal spin-on filter loosens or falls off, fluid starvation can occur, which may result in serious transmission damage. Installing the RevMax steel screw ensures the filter stays secure even under heavy load or vibration.

FAQ
Why should the factory plastic filter screw be replaced?The factory plastic insert can loosen or break over time. If the filter detaches inside the transmission it can cause loss of fluid pressure and serious transmission damage.
Is this upgrade necessary for a stock transmission?
Yes. Even stock 68RFE transmissions benefit from this upgrade because the factory plastic screw is a known weak point.
Can the RevMax steel filter screw be reused?
Yes. The steel insert can be reused during future filter changes, unlike the factory plastic component which can degrade over time.
When should this upgrade be installed?
It is commonly installed during routine transmission service, filter replacement, valve body upgrades, or during a full 68RFE rebuild.
Will this work on Cab & Chassis trucks?
No. Cab & chassis trucks typically use a different transmission configuration and may require a different filter attachment system.
