High Capacity Transmission Pan

[Samson16]

Has anybody considered or implemented something like https://www.summitracing.com/parts/der-13262?rrec=true I.e. mounted on the frame away from exhaust, etc. heat?

I haven’t done a thermal analysis since I am not sure that we should be cooling the transmission anyway. But I do tow a little and even in SoCal cool temperatures have seen some high transmission temperatures.

There have been some good discussions that included external cooling options for the transmission fluid and for the engine oil as well as increasing radiator size, spritzing the radiator as temperatures rise etc. lol

The brainstorming usually ends where it began. Slow down. Down shift to increase rpm and keep out of the boost when towing heavy. You’ll still get there ?

Drive the PB like the Coyote guys have to. Slower and with higher rpm up those grades ??

Does anyone know what is different about the pan? Maybe deeper with the same bolt pattern. I didn't see on the PPE site where their deep pan wasn't for Powerboost.

If I'm not mistaken, the 10-speed transmission has a cooler built into it, employing coolant from the front radiator. Thus, the easiest solution would be a larger core radiator to increase both coolant volume and surface area for heat dissipation.

(I'll let the masses pile on to correct my inaccuracy...)

No piling on for you. You are correct ?
