Question Tranny pan?

I am coming up on 30K and I plan on doing the tranny service myself. I am looking for a new pan that has a drain plug in it. The factory one from what I have read is really thin metal and I don't want to have a leak if I was to add a drain plug myself. I am looking for a steel pan with a drain plug already installed. I have an 05 w/ 4.6 v8. If anyone has any info I would greatly appreciate any help.

I like the look of the Mag Hytec pans, but the only Ford application in the list is the 4R100/E40D tranny. http://www.mag-hytec.com/Transmission_pans.htm

That page says to call if your application is not listed, haven't done that yet myself. Seems like they would want to offer a pan for the best selling trucks in the country.

If you look at this page: http://www.maghytec.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=3 it make it sound like that 4R100 pan would fit as do other sites that sell Mag Hytec.

Anyone know for sure?

Take it to a welding shop, its a simple job to braze on a fitting to adapt a plug. Ive done it many times. Also you can braze a fitting to adapt a
tempature sender for a trans temp guage.
