Tranny pan

Where is the best place to get a cheap deep tranny pan?

I'd check on Ebay and look for a B&M, ATS, and Magnatec are just a few of the brands off the top of my head should be able to find one between 100-250 bucks depending on brand and capaicity

This is my opinion but unless you need a new pan, you would be better off buying a larger or secondary tranny cooler. When the fluid gets hot in the larger pan it will take longer to cool down because the stock cooler cant handle the extra capacity

Well put Dave wasn't thinking bout the stock cooler I did the larger cooler and pan when mine was rebuild.

I totally agree!!!

I have to disagree, I cant get mine warm enough. This winter I averaged 140. Thats highway driving and idleing through lights in LA. With the truck shut off the oil cools to 100 in less than four hours. Besides the pan it self acts like a huge heat sink.

Define warm enough? What's wrong with 140?

i drove mine 60 miles to work last weak the tranny never hit 100* it was 5* outside.it should run about 90* over the outside air temp.
