larger tranny pan?
Hello all, I am new to this board and to diesel. I stoped at a local shop to ask about upgrades(gauges,tranny coolers, exhaust). The guy there said I would not need a tranny cooler just the larger tranny pan. It seems like a good idea. more fluid more cooling time. Has anyone done this and does it work???

larger tranny pan?
I just did a tranny service and I looked into that stuff. The extra capacity of those larger pans arn't really gonna buy you much more cooling. For less than half the price I got a big aux cooler. I also installed the Diablo power valve and swapped to Amsoil ATF. My tranny temps dropped at least 50 deg and that's with a lift and 36's! Don't get me wrong,the pan would help, but not that much...
