Transmission Pan Ecodiesel 1500 Ram Raw PPE Diesel

Excessive heat kills transmission life. As temperature rises, transmission fluid viscosity decreases, weakening the lubricating film that protects gears and bearings. This could cause premature wear and potential failure. Cast from high-grade A356.0-T6 aluminum alloy, the PPE transmission pan offers 2 quarts of additional fluid capacity, ensuring long-lasting heat management and performance. The deep external cooling fins maximize the heat-wicking surface area, effectively dissipating heat to keep your transmission cool under pressure. These fins also add strength to the bottom of the pan and enhance impact resistance. The built-in baffles at the bottom of the pan increase contact between the fluid and the cast-aluminum surfaces, enhancing heat transfer. These baffles also reduce fluid sloshing, ensuring consistent fluid pickup and stable transmission performance. Together with the longitudinal external fins, they form a stiff, cross-bracing structure, distributing loads better and increasing impact resistance. The factory plastic pan and its non-replaceable filter must be discarded with every fluid change. In contrast, a replaceable filter bolts directly inside the PPE pan, making fluid services easier and more cost effective. The PPE drain plug is equipped with a powerful, high-temperature-rated neodymium magnet that captures ferrous metal particles, providing additional protection for your transmission. Keep your 8-speed running longer, healthier, and cooler with PPE. Replacement filter SKU 228058600. For Jeep Grand Cherokees with a crossmember under the torque converter, see SKU 228053400. Note 1: PPE SKU 228053000 and 228053400 are both compatible with the ZF 8-speed transmissions with a plastic pan. Both pans are compatible with the factory rubber gasket and steel collars for a precise fitment. These two PPE pans have different depths/capacity gains. 228053000 has 2.0 quarts of additional capacity, offering maximum thermal capacity. 228053400 has 1.0 quart of additional capacity, offering better clearances. Note 2: The ZF 8-speed is seen on a wide range of vehicles including certain BMW/Land Rover/Jaguar models. This pan is compatible with many 2013-2018 BMW 2/3/4/5/6/7 series and X3/X4/X5/X6 SUVs. Always verify surrounding clearances before ordering your PPE transmission pan.
