I'm in the market for a deep tranny pan on a budget! It looks like Mag Hytec is high quality, but exspensive?

Lowest cost appears to be a replacement steel pan by Mopar Performance as shown here;

Has anyone tried the steel pan replacement and measured the temp diff???

Also there is this website for Hughes performance Deep Aluminum , anyone tried this?

Also B&M has a unit here; Again anyone using B&M?

Another interesting option is this;

Derale #14110, 518 / 618 / 46RE / 47RE / 48RE Transmission Pan Cooler. This pan has turbulator cooling tubes using air flow beneath the vehicle to reduce the transmission fluid temperature from 20° to 50° F. Fluid capacity is increased by 3 quarts. This pan has a drain plug and is 4 1/2 inches deep. The pan gasket is included. Cost $108.00

I plan on towing 12k-lb. 5th wheel around 10k miles per year. My Tranny is a 47RE.

 

I just received the Derale today, can't wait for the trans to get here.
It's built well, and it's cheap. Sorry for the subpar pics.

Inside. It holds 3 more quarts of ATF(+3 in my case) and has the "turbulator" tubes. I see more surface area, which=more cooling.


inside drain


Outside view of the tubes, and the turbulators inside, they basically are twisted strips of metal through the whole tube. Not sure what in the fawk they do, noting would be my guess :lol: I like the idea of the tubes, the turbs are snake oil IMO.




Fawkin CHEAP! :guns:

 

Do any of the deep pans provide an extender block to drop the filter down? I bought my deep pan from mycovers.com and one of the reasons it is cheaper is because they do not include an extender block. This means I have extra capacity, but can't actually use it for anything.

The B&M I have on the one truck has an extender in it. My BD pan does not.

 

My mag-hytec came with an extender block.

 

Hmmm, no extender here.

 

PML here also, no extender. I would think that the added fluid & the fins would keep everything cooler though. It all still flows, just has to circulate first to hit the filter I guess.

 

Any updates from B&M and Derale users? lower temps?

thanks dieselfan

 

I run max 180° so far with my Derale on my new Goerend's.

 

Most I see is 180*-190 with my double deep (+4qts) and the stock tranny on a hot day in traffic.

 

Where are you guys measuring the temperature from? I put a tee inline right as the fluid come out of the tranny. I see temps. of 230+ sitting in stop and go traffic.

 

What part of the country are you stopping & going?
With my 727DD Mag Hy-Tec I never get over 200* in Dallas grid lock.... on 100* days!

Also measured at the tranny cooler line!

I'd avoid a steel pan. Steel heat soaks and cools very slowly. Aluminum loses heat wayyyyy faster than steel.

 

I'm measuring the line coming out of the TC. Even before the double deep sitting in stop and go houston traffic on 100*+ days I may have seen 210.

 

Mine's via x monitor, picked up on an internal sensor?
