Transmission Pan Replacement

[SpaceWhiteF150]

Anybody try the Mishimoto pan?
Says it adds 2 quarts of fluid.

Aluminum Pan, fits Ford 10R60/10R80 s

Aluminum Transmission Pan, fits Ford 10R60/10R80 Transmissions. Fits 2023 Ford F-150.

If expect the same clearance issues

Now that I have a drain plug, how often would be a good interval for the filter replacement. Just did the ATF and filter with the pan at just over 26.5k miles

Filter every 60K. Fluid every 30

The normal capacity fits with all the skid plates, the deep pan does not.

We have seen close to 10 degree temp drop with the extra capacity pan, but this is a slippery slope with all the different conditions to get an exact measure of what the difference truly is.

The main benefit is replacing the factory plastic with an aluminum finned pan that has a magnetic drain plug for service. Everyone should be changing fluid in there 10spds way before your owner’s manual says to.

I’m a dealer if anyone needs help sourcing there PPE products!

My Deep sump PPE Pan fits with the RCI transmission skid plate, I have about 1" of clearance. Plenty.

Good info, any idea on the Raptor skid?

I do not.

I’ve sent an email to PPE asking that exact question. Also asked for clarification on where their pans are manufactured. We’ll see if they answer.

Got mine installed just yesterday. Bought it about a month ago and was going to install it myself but just kept getting other things to do on my only day off during the week. Ended up buying the pan from summit because Flying Wrenches had a kit but was sold out, but I still got the service kit from FW. Had a local small town dealer do it.

Have you noticed any difference in temps just cruising around?

Nothing huge yet. I noticed I was at 193 degrees yesterday after my drive home but I keep forgetting to pay attention. Keep in mind it’s really hot and humid here in NW GA this week so that may be good. I have seen it up to 210 before I got the new pan

Ok, I was hitting 215-217 right steady in 90* weather and noticed my raptor skid plate was always pretty hot after driving and decided to remove it to see if it made a difference and surprisingly it’s holding 210-208 and seems to cool quicker in the same weather, IDK I’ll keep an eye on it maybe it’s not letting cooler air to pass thru. I’m also looking at the PPE pans when I change fluid.

I run an aftermarket skid plate with deep PPE pan! Just put in 2,000 mile round trip Houston to Florida June 2026. We had 4 adults and luggage and ran 75-85 when I could and tranny ran 195 on average. Low would be around 187 and maybe 205 in heat and heavy traffic. Before I could hit 220 easily. The reason I run the pan is mine warped at 30k miles and I was 500 miles from home and took a long time for repair. I have details on that if you search this site. Happy with the pan and quality.

Nice, what skid plate are you running?

Mine was a group buy late in 2023. I think it was a one time deal of ~100 at overlanded.com. I don’t think they make them anymore.

I’ll add that I noticed my ATF temp up to 207 yesterday (outside temp 98 according to the truck) but mostly between 190-199 when I would remember to look at it.

Also I noticed the slight whine the transmission had been making has gone away. Presumably because the ATF change with the pan. I would always notice it whine when at a drive thru with my window down and left side up against the building wall. It seems to have gone away now.

Don’t forget to reset your adaptive learning for the transmission when you change the fluid or pan or any combination of that. Also, if you ever run low or high on fluid reset as well. This will help the tranmission adjust for changes. I thought about turning it off all of the time but after research it sounded like a bad idea to turn it off.

I use a vacuum extractor for the front differential

Yep, I got one to use

Yep, I installed a Livernois tune that wipes that out and it’s relearning now

Excellent feedback & thanks. Been watching videos and doing some research. PPE is the way I’m leaning.
I’m Retired like Quake Jockey and want to make sure the Transmission doesn’t give up prematurely.

I think would be better tout to add a cooling system PPE only gives you 1.75 at more oil

Got the following back from PPE which will answer a couple of questions from this thread:

"I don't have the specs on the original pan, but I put our pans dimensions below. Hopefully this can help you measure the clearance between the pan and the skid plate! These pans are engineered here in the states and manufactured over-seas!"
