I was wondering what do you guys think about these transmission pans


Here's description

Derale #14210, 518 / 618 / 46RE / 47RE / 48RE / 727 deep Transmission Pan Cooler. This pan has tubular cooling tubes using air flow beneath the vehicle to reduce the transmission fluid temperature from 20° to 50° F. Fluid capacity is increased from 2 1/8 to 5 1/2 quarts. This pan has a drain plug and is 4 1/2 inches deep. The pan gasket is included.

If rock climbing please use 14010 filter extender or if you’re on 75 degree incline for over 15 minutes

I have one but it's still in the box. Can't seem to ever find time to work on much of my junk like I want to. I like the looks of it but the tubes look like they could become plugged if a guy was off road a lot. Seems like you could probably hose them out on occasion to take care of that problem.

How is the thickness of the metal, does it look sturdy? It is deeper pan than the factory one, right?

It has been a while since I've messed with the stock pan but the Derale is pretty sturdy (MHO) and seems heavier gauge than OEM. It comes drilled/tapped for a temp sender, has a nice magnetic drain plug and what appears a decent gasket but not the really good OEM one. The box says it comes with a rubber/steel gasket but this one did not and looks just like the one you pictured. It also has the dimensions listed on the box. 4 1/2" deep overall and 3 5/8" inside depth to the top of the tubes.
