Stellantis/Chrysler Transmission Exchange
Dodge/Jeep/Ram P0700, P0708, P0750-P0760 codes need wiTECH 2.0 TCM calibration. We reprogram transmission adaptives & solenoid timing for precision shifting. Call Dave Jr.
When your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram vehicle’s transmission fails, expert care is essential to restore reliable performance, especially given the complexity of Stellantis transmissions like the 62TE, 845RE, and the heavy-duty 68RFE found in Ram trucks. At Apex Automotive in Gilbert, AZ, David Jr. provides specialized transmission exchange services, starting with a precise, diagnostic-first approach that confirms transmission failure before recommending a replacement.
Transmissions in these vehicles endure significant stress, particularly in Arizona’s harsh desert climate where extreme heat accelerates fluid degradation and internal component wear. The 62TE and 845RE automatic transmissions rely heavily on correct fluid specifications—ATF+4 is mandatory to maintain proper clutch friction and valve body operation. The 68RFE, a robust 6-speed automatic designed for heavy towing, also demands meticulous fluid maintenance and cooling to prevent overheating.
David Jr. begins with a comprehensive diagnostic scan using the Stellantis factory tool, wiTECH 2.0, which reads all relevant transmission codes (including P0700, P0708, P0750-P0760) and monitors real-time data to understand the transmission’s condition. This scan confirms whether the transmission requires replacement or if other repairs suffice.
If an exchange is needed, Apex Automotive sources high-quality remanufactured transmissions built to OEM standards, offering a nationwide warranty and shorter turnaround compared to full rebuilds. The replacement process includes careful removal of the failed unit, thorough flushing of the transmission cooler and lines to eliminate old fluid and debris, and installation of the new transmission with attention to every connection and seal.
A critical step unique to Stellantis transmissions is the post-installation calibration using wiTECH 2.0. This factory-level tool performs the “Quick Learn” procedure, resetting the Transmission Control Module’s adaptive parameters and solenoid timing. Without this step, many shops report drivability issues such as harsh shifts, slipping, or limp mode. David Jr.’s expertise and access to wiTECH 2.0 ensure the new transmission functions correctly from day one.
Additionally, Arizona’s desert heat necessitates auxiliary transmission coolers to maintain fluid temperatures within safe limits, protecting the transmission and extending its lifespan.
Choosing Apex Automotive means your Stellantis transmission exchange is handled with professional care, technical precision, and a diagnostic-first philosophy that prioritizes long-term reliability. Schedule your appointment with David Jr. today for dedicated, expert service tailored to the demands of your vehicle and the East Valley’s challenging environment.
