Looking to buy a aftermarket trans. pan that holds more fluid, who makes one? Also anyone heard of changing there torque converter in the 5 speeds?

 

PML... I have an edge 2800 stall tq vertor on mine..

 

PML, Mag Hytech...

 

there are quite a few companies out there that make aftermarket trans pans for our trannys. I have a PML pan on the way, holds more fluid, its cast aluminum, and has fins, magnetic drain plug, and ready for a temp sensor. there is also MAG-Hytec. those are super nice, but a little pricey. most aftermarket parts places carry them, i ordered mine from moesperformance.com

 

oh yeah, and converters. quite a good performance gain to be had. some of the better known companies for converters are Edge (im running an Edge 2400) APS, and Circle-D. im sure there are more out there, but those are the ones i hear about most.

Andre over at Edge has some of the best customer service i have found anywhere!

 

Ok next question... what tranny do we have I mean the ID#? I have a '03 2500 with the 5.7 if that matters.

Thanks

 

you have the 5-45RFE. make sure you do your research on the trans pans though. some will not fit on the 2500s without exhaust modifications. on the 2500's the exhaust pipe routes right underneath the trans pan on the rear portion. you can alleviate this problem by dropping the exhuast an inch or so though.
