We need pictures of the OEM pan on various trucks, SUVs and cars showing clearances to the ground, exhaust pipes, frame cross members, skid plates and such. Email to [email protected] with 3 or 4 images per email. Thank you!
PML 9 speed pan will be heavy duty sand cast aluminum, not plastic. Extra capacity pan will hold about 2 quarts over stock. PML puts fins on the bottom of pan to increase surface area for heat dissipation from the fluid to the air. PML added a drain hole separate from the level check for easier fluid changes. Because the OEM pan has the filters integrated into the pan, the PML pan will use the Dorman filter kit.
