On my way to and from RRE in TENN, I had my truck in OD and the cruise set at 70 MPH and let her eat. I never got over 160*. I was pulling my TT that weights around 11,500 lbs.

I'm pleeding the 5th on this Pat.

I think you are quoting right Pat.

 

I believe that a deeper pan means nothing but more oil. Slower to heat up, but also slower to cool down.

Not much else.

<!-- END TEMPLATE: bbcode_quote -->Help with what? What are you trying to improve?

In my opinion all they help with is draining your wallet. If you want to cool the trans, use a better trans cooler. I can't understand how more fluid helps with cooling, and I do have a couple engineering degrees, and I was a trans cooling engineer for three years.

I can see where more fluid will take longer to get hot, but by the same token it will take longer to cool once it does get hot. A bigger cooler is a MUCH better way to cool the trans.

If you just want to help the way the underside of your truck looks, then I agree these pans look better than the stock pan.
