Keep Your Transmission Running Cooler And Stronger Under Load

If you are pushing your Ram 1500 hard, heat is always working against you, and that is exactly where this PPE transmission pan steps in. Built to handle more than stock ever could, it increases fluid capacity by 1.8 quarts, giving your transmission more thermal stability when towing, hauling, or driving in high temperatures. Additionally, the deep external cooling fins pull heat away from the fluid quickly, helping maintain consistent performance when it matters most. The added strength from those fins is not just for cooling, it also improves impact resistance, which is a big plus if your truck sees rough roads or job site conditions. What’s more, the included magnetic drain plug actively captures harmful metal particles, helping protect internal components over time. You also get a spin-on filter that improves filtration compared to factory setups, which means cleaner fluid and longer service life. It is the kind of upgrade that not only boosts performance but also gives you peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel.

Engineered Aluminum Design Delivers Superior Cooling And Structural Integrity

At the core of this transmission pan is a premium A356.0-T6 heat-treated cast aluminum construction, chosen for its strength and excellent thermal conductivity. The pan is precision cast using permanent steel molds, which ensures a consistent fit and a smooth sealing surface for reliable installation. Internally, the integrated baffles are designed to increase fluid contact with the aluminum surface, improving heat transfer while also reducing fluid sloshing during acceleration or uneven terrain. This helps maintain steady fluid pickup, which is critical for transmission performance and longevity. Additionally, the external fins and internal baffles work together to form a rigid cross-bracing structure that enhances durability and distributes load more evenly across the pan. The cast-in gussets further reinforce the flange area, adding extra strength where it is needed most. The stainless steel drain plug features a high-temperature neodymium magnet and a durable Viton O-ring, ensuring a secure seal and added protection. Paired with the included MicroPure spin-on filter, this system delivers improved filtration efficiency and supports long-term transmission health.
