ok call me cheep. has any one made a deeper tranny pan ? i was thinking [:@]I should do that thinking thing. just go to the bone yard and get two pans and cut the lip off of one and cut the pan of the other and weld them. and then put a drain plug in it and a tranny temp gauge in it. i could bolt the pan to a 3/4 plywood before welding to stop it from warping when welding.

I have a mag-hytech (sp?) on my 2005 CTD... I"m sure they would have one for your tranny...

here's a link... mine is a DD pan, holds an extra 4 quarts of fluid. I have never seen my tranny temps exceed 160 deg.

 

i just don't can't stomach paying $200-300 for a pan.
anybody know of a $100 one ?


ebay....
$117/ i'm not sure how much deeper than stock this is. not much.
looks prone to leak.

Okay...you are cheapAND just want to play with your welder

What are you doing that necessitates a deep pan? I would think trasmission cooler first.

 

basiclly the tranny fluid has a hard time getting hot with 4 quarts extra in it...

 

yes and yes im cheap and i like to play with my welder.

 

I have a PML pan - 2 quarts extra capacity. I think it does very well helping to keep temps down.

 

[align=left]This isn't a big difference, but I think it adds about 1 quart and comes with a drain plug. It's actually the 727 Mopar performance pan and it fits on the 47RH. Scroll down to the bottom of the link for the post .
