Hello:

We will be changing the transmission fluid soon as part of our regular maintenance. We've thought about the aluminum pan in the past and figured it might be worth considering since the old one is coming off anyway. We still have our OEM radiator, everything is stock other than the final drive which is the 3.70 which should help the trans run a little cooler anyway. We don't currently tow but may in the future.

How much of a temp difference does the aluminum pan make, really? Any guesstimate?

The Ragusa seems to be the most popular but I see it holds an extra quart. Does anybody know approximately how much extra it sticks down, compared to the OEM steel pan? I was looking at it straight on and the steel pan almost looks like the low point as it is, so just wondering how much further the Ragusa would stick down.

Thanks for any and all feedback!
