Hi there, I bought a 2019 2500 HD 4X4 6.7L Diesel used, and after changing axles fluids and fuel filters and Transfer case, its time to do the transmission which is the 6 speed 68RFE. 55000 miles on it. (I'm doing the 60000 miles as I don't know how the truck was used and where). Now I'm trying to verify a few items please. the spinoff filter and the sump filter in the pan Mopar numbers 5013470AE, and 05179267AD. Will those filters will fit my truck? cause I see same numbers but with AC at the end and I'm not sure what is the difference. On EBAY and Amazon I can't get the "these will fit your truck" for some reason. Second question, since the pan don't come with a gasket, should I use the Mopar RTV gasket maker/ or use rubber Gasket. How many Qt goes in, I read different numbers 6.4-12 qts. What are the torque specs on the bolts, again I get a range 6-10 ft/lb. Last but not least , fluid change with filters Vs. Flush with filters. Mind you guys, this is my first Diesel truck and the owners manual is not that forthcoming with the above info. Here is what the trans fluid looks like Vs, new Mopar ATF +4IMG_2686.jpeg
 
Be careful with amazon and eBay, lots of counterfeit out there.

Here’s the filters from a reputable vendor you’re looking for:




Pan gasket if yours is dinged up:

 
So what are your thoughts about Trans flush Vs. fluid change with filters, haven't heard pros or cons on the matter. If you plan to change fluids every 50000 or so is it better to stick to fluid change and filters
 
Flush is best, you get 100% fluid exchange. Drain and fill leaves the cooler, torque converter and lines with old fluid behind.
