Trans Pan
I was wondering if a deeper pan on my transmission would help keep things cool when towing my toy hauler. Its 40 foot 16K# and I'm going to Sheaffer syn also. Is it worth the trouble. I got a good price just wondered if it really helps. 2004, 6.0L cc lb 4x4. Thanks, Chet

No, the internal filter was changed to a full flow filter instead of a screen and the bypass filter up by the cooler was eliminated. Since it is a bypass filter though, it wouldn't hurt to have both.

Thanks guys for all the answers. Its my boys 2004 truck and he had some issues with the motor and coolant that he is fixing with the bulletproof oil bypass and EGR upgrade. He was going to do the delect, I think he should of, But the dealer talked him out of it. He is doing ARP head studs as well. He had a 200,000 mileage warrinty from ford, He had problems, so they're doing the work he bought the parts above. AS far as trans we are using the Shaeffer syn. and the ford guy called last night and said he had this deeper pan and he would put it on for $50.oo . He went for it, I just don't think it going to do what he wants. Dealer Mechinic said it would hold maybe three or four quarts more oil.
I know on my 7.3 I went to the 6.0 cooler and ran it thur the radiator, Mine didn't have this, and it runs cool all the time. Anybody else had to do the above. Thanks Chet

He is stock, and know after market gauges, this was just a precaution for the trans. The motor on the other hand got near the red and the air stopped working. After inspection it did boil in the overflow so thats what started this all. Thanks again, sorry for the long post all your help is appreciated, God bless, Chet
