68RFE Trans Pan Gasket?

[wayned87]

I haven’t had a single factory pan gasket leak.

I mainly use PPE maghytec and revmax pans no issues with any of them.

I appreciate your quick reply.

I am getting the truck ready for a military move pulling an enclosed trailer, and wanted to be on the safe side.

If it's just a very tiny drip, I'll keep an eye on it and let it be until I get to where I am going.

Once I get to TX and settled, I'll pull the pan and install the Revmax pan and billet valve body.

Maybe try tightening a bit more.

I use my Milwaukee 1/4 inch impact to tighten pan bolts.

I’m sure it’s more than “recommended” torque specs.

I snugged them up with just a hand ratchet, and they moved just a bit, then checked with the torque and said they were roughly 140-150 inch lbs.

According to the chart, the markings on the bolt are double what they are rated for at max torque haha.

The recommended torque for the pan bolts is 105 in/lbs.

See attached.

Nope actually headed to the San Angelo area.

Glad I’m not headed to Ft Bliss.

Heard it’s pretty darn hot there, haha.

Hello to my fellow brethren of the diesel realm,

Heed these words, for a fellow brother needs your expertise.

Alright, fellas, so here is the problem, I have a Revmax pan on the 68RFE, and the rubber gasket has failed around the rear of the pan.

(My fault) the gasket that Revmax sends with their pan seems to be an all rubber gasket.

Does anyone know a suitable replacement that would work with this pan?

I've heard bad things about cork gaskets, so I'm trying to avoid these if possible.

I have found two gaskets, and I would like to see if anyone knows if they will work for my setup.

1. Mag-Hytec Pan Gasket - Part: MH-68RFE-GASKET

2. VICTOR REINZ: 711495600

Use RTV!!!!

If you don't want to use the RTV, use the Lube Locker gaskets.

When I do my valve body and Revmax pan (made by PML, I think), I will use a LubeLocker gasket and use them on both front and rear diffs.

I initially did the rear cover and reused the factory gasket but replaced it with LL for peace of mind-

Just My personal experience and uncles as well.

I installed the LL 11.5'' AAM rearend pan gasket with my PML Rear Cover and have zero leaks.
I also have one waiting to be installed with my PPE 68RFE pan - this spring
Of course every bolt torqued to the proper spec.
(Note: I made sure both mating surfaces was virtually clean/smooth - No left over gasket or RTV).
Seems like I cleaned on both surfaces forever - just to assure the best seal for the LL gasket.

Just another option to look into.

When it comes time to service the front differential gear oil - I have plans on installing a PML diff cover and use a LL gasket there as well.

Thanks for this link, just ordered one, got my Revmax valve body, filters and Revmax deep pan and did not want to deal with the RTV.
