This PPE cast aluminum pan replaces the weak plastic design with something that is built to handle heat, stress, and real-world use without compromise. The added fluid capacity gives your transmission more room to manage temperature, especially when you are towing or putting your truck under heavy load. Additionally, the deep cooling fins help pull heat away from the fluid, keeping things running smoother when conditions get tough. The brushed finish adds a clean, high-quality look underneath your truck, which is a nice bonus when you take pride in your build. What makes this upgrade even more practical is the switch to a serviceable filter, saving you time and money during routine maintenance. The built-in magnetic drain plug adds another layer of protection by capturing harmful metal particles before they circulate. It is a smart upgrade that brings real peace of mind every time you hit the road or hook up a trailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePrecision Engineered Design Focused On Heat Control And Durability\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis PPE transmission pan is built from A356.0-T6 heat-treated cast aluminum, a material chosen for its strength and ability to transfer heat efficiently. The precision casting process ensures consistent thickness and a proper seal when paired with OEM gaskets and steel collars. Inside the pan, half-inch baffles are designed to control fluid movement, which helps maintain steady pickup and improves heat transfer across the aluminum surface. Furthermore, the tall external fins increase overall surface area, allowing heat to dissipate faster while also reinforcing the structure against impacts. These internal and external features work together to create a rigid cross-braced design that improves durability under load. The included stainless steel drain plug uses a high-temp rated neodymium magnet and a Viton O-ring to ensure a tight seal while actively collecting metal debris. A built-in 1\/8-inch NPT port gives you the flexibility to add a temperature sensor for better monitoring. To complete the system, a replaceable transmission filter is included and mounts securely inside the pan, offering a more service-friendly solution than the factory sealed design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Fitment: \u003c\/strong\u003e 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 RAM 1500\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck transmission and chassis clearance before purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for ZF 8-speed with factory plastic pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower capacity version improves ground clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with OEM gasket and mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces factory sealed non-serviceable pan design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllows use of replaceable internal filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifferent PPE pan depths available for needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure correct part number for your setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso fits select BMW and Supra applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory pan must be completely removed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for improved long-term transmission reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional port allows future temperature monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/8539\/2883\/files\/2013-2025-RAM-Dodge-Jeep-BMW-Toyota-Supra-ZF-8-Speed-Heavy-Duty-Cast-Aluminum-Transmission-Pan_Install-Guide_R1125.pdf?v=1765216261\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstall Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PPE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54039759126812,"sku":"PPE228053410","price":314.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2279\/8108\/files\/2013-2025-RAM-Dodge-Jeep-BMW-Toyota-Supra-ZF-8-Speed-Heavy-Duty-Cast-Aluminum-Transmission-Pan-Pacific-Performance-Engineering-193215976.webp?v=1776207267","url":"https:\/\/www.alligatorperformance.com\/products\/ppe-228053410-zf-8-speed-heavy-duty-cast-aluminum-transmission-pan-brushed-2013-2018-ram-1500","provider":"Alligator Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
