I added a B&M aluminum tranny pan. Ran me about $180 with shipping and is built real stout with a temp sender location and a drain plug. It holds about an extra quart over stock. I went to it because of the drain plug and was doing my shift kit at the same time. Well worth the money compared to others on the market. Helped cool my tranny temps about 20-30 degrees.

I added it to gain the plug and the extra quart. If you do your own tranny service then the plug is priceless. Worth it to me for sure.

the drain plug was my motive, the 20-30 degree drop is a bonus. where did you find the b&m?

You can get a trans drain plug kit for $10 from Genos that works with the stock pan. That being said I purchased the Mag Hytec DD pan for my stock truck. The extra 4 quarts of fluid and the cooling ability seems worth the $250 I paid.
