Tranny Cooler pan
Anyone using a tranny cooler pan ?
This one from amazon looks like a good deal, and with the sump extender kit, it's under $200
Thoughts ? Concerns ? Experiences ?
TIA

I`m shopping them myself, looks ok but those tubes worry me as far as getting filled with dirt/crud/winter salt and the ensuing rust. Seems to me it`s one more thing to have to keep an eye on.

Yeah, I thought of that myself, but I don't go off roading.... so the most I'll be getting in there is the occasional squirrel that kamakazi's my truck.
I just ordered it, so I'll be posting my impressions when I get it.

I run one of those but the older model it is realy nice I think if i remember it holds a additional 4-6 qts of oil I think when i changed mine I had to put aprox 12qts of oil to bring it back to full if you can find the older model it is silver finish & only cost about $89.00

I have the same one on my truck. It dropped the temps on the freeway to around 100 degrees and around town runs 135 that's with the probe in the pan. I know it's a better buy then the pans double the cost.

Unless it's untaxed, then it's red.

I have this pan too. After two winters of mild in Maryland its got some rust. No.e was unfinished. That one in black looks like like it might stand up better. I don't have a temp gauge but it makes me feel better.
I think mine took 17qts to fill. (With engine running in neutral)

I have that exact pan, ordered the filter extender also. The screws supplied with the extender weren't long enough so i left it off and just put a filter in the stock location.
I live on dirt/kileche road and it doesn't get clogged up. Much nicer and cheaper than a 300.00 pan. Mine is the black one and I have no rust.

Just received the pan and extender. Looks like a nice unit.
Doesn't come with a filter, so I have to pick one up.

The pan and extender are installed.
Really nice unit, with a trans temp port, and drain plug (magnetic) installed already.
Went in relatively easy, although I had a few bolts stripped out of the trans that need to be helicoiled next time the pan gets dropped.
it appears the previously the trans bolts were overtightened.
No leaks, as I just used longer bolts to catch the remaining threads on 3 holes
Best thing for you guys, is the price came down about $30 since I bought it.
