I figured I'd try this here first, hopefully some other 1993 F150 owners have had this issue.

I'm a third owner, apparently my truck is a bit of a Frankenstein. I have the non-electronic AOD transmission, stock. It seems the usual transmission for this year is the electronic version. I definitely don't have that. I do have the 5.0 liter engine. And the truck is a four-wheel drive if that matters. I want to replace the stock pan with one that has a drain plug.

I get mixed information from the net about the aftermarket pans. They seem to be replacements for the electronic transmissions and I even found one comment that said I could use the deeper pan with drain plug, but that I would need a non-stock filter as for the e40d transmission.

Any qualified opinions or comments ? Thanks...

 

Just buy a retrofit drain plug and install it in the factory oilpan, I put one of those in my '90 AOD and never had any problems with it.

 

(Sound of palm to forehead) Duh. I've had the truck for 20 years, never occurred to me that there might be a retrofit. Thanks, Conanski.
