Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan - Deep
Excessive heat kills transmission life. As temperature rises, transmission fluid viscosity decreases, weakening the lubricating film that protects gears and bearings. This could cause premature wear and potential failure.
Cast from high-grade A356.0-T6 aluminum alloy, the PPE transmission pan offers 2 quarts of additional fluid capacity, ensuring long-lasting heat management and performance.
The deep external cooling fins maximize the heat-wicking surface area, effectively dissipating heat to keep your transmission cool under pressure. These fins also add strength to the bottom of the pan and enhance impact resistance.
The built-in baffles at the bottom of the pan increase contact between the fluid and the cast-aluminum surfaces, enhancing heat transfer. These baffles also reduce fluid sloshing, ensuring consistent fluid pickup and stable transmission performance. Together with the longitudinal external fins, they form a stiff, cross-bracing structure, distributing loads better and increasing impact resistance.
The factory plastic pan and its non-replaceable filter must be discarded with every fluid change. In contrast, a replaceable filter bolts directly inside the PPE pan, making fluid services easier and more cost effective. The PPE drain plug is equipped with a powerful, high-temperature-rated neodymium magnet that captures ferrous metal particles, providing additional protection for your transmission.
Keep your 8-speed running longer, healthier, and cooler with PPE.

Note 1: PPE SKU 228053000 and 228053400 are both compatible with the ZF 8-speed transmissions with a plastic pan. Both pans are compatible with the factory rubber gasket and steel collars for a precise fitment.
These two PPE pans have different depths/capacity gains.
228053000 has 2.0 quarts of additional capacity, offering maximum thermal capacity.
228053400 has 1.0 quart of additional capacity, offering better clearances.
Note 2: The ZF 8-speed is seen on a wide range of vehicles including certain BMW/Land Rover/Jaguar models. This pan is compatible with many 2013-2018 BMW 2/3/4/5/6/7 series and X3/X4/X5/X6 SUVs.
Always verify surrounding clearances before ordering your PPE transmission pan.

Great upgrade from the factory plasic pan.the pan is very well made and it has a drain plug to make the service way easier.It would be nice it it would've came with the gasket though. For peace of mind I purchased a new one from my local autoparts store. You do need to remove all the metal pan spacers from the old pan and reinstall on the new one not that hard to do though. overall it fit perfectly and added more fluid capacity and with the larger heat sinks it keeps the fluid and transmission temp lower(always a good thing)

I would just echo the comments of everybody above. Yeah, you need to replace your transmission fluid at some point, and for me, I did that at 40k miles, and the fluid was quite dirty. FWIW, once jacking up the rear of my Ram 1500 TT, I was able to remove the old pan and install the PPE pan without removing the exhaust pipe cross over, and without having to jack up the rear of the transmission. Stellantis must have heard the complaints of the Hemi guys and re-designed the TT pipe routing to make it somewhat easier to service the tranny pan. As it is, 3 or so of the 12 screws are tough to get to, but it can be done with a very small rachet and T40 drive bit. Overall, I'm glad that PPE makes this part, and I'm glad to have it on my truck.

I think the idea of replacing a plastic housing with a cast aluminum that has a replaceable filter and extra capacity is an absolute no-brainer. Performance-wise I see about a 10-20 degree decrease in transmission temps when driving at normal speeds at distance. I used Amsoil Signature ATF rather than the Mopar due to the document increase in quality. Time will tell on the overall performance when I go to tow our travel trailer.

Sehr schnelle Lieferung!
Einfache Installation und genaue Passform.
Bei meinem 2020 RAM 1500 müssen die Hülsen der alten Ölwanne übernommen werden.
Unbedingt an eine neue Dichtung denken!

I purchases for my 2022 ram rebel 5.7 motor fit perfect looks awesome definitely keeps the transmission fluid a lot cooler extra 2 quarts .The only reason I give it four stars for the price should have came with a gasket I purchased a new one from the dealer did not want to use an old one worked out great very satisfied awesome company

The pan looks great and fits perfectly! I’m very happy with this pan and it’s added features!

2014 ram 1500 ecodiesel. Fitment is perfect. Trans temp is running roughly 10 degrees cooler. Absolutely recommend over the stock plastic pan.

The product is what I expected. It's quality specifications & application met my expectations

Nice quality made pan, shipping was quick. Install was easy. A bit pricey, but great add on for people like me who like to maintain fresh fluid. **for ram owners, you need to level the trans pan when refilling the fluid, do not refill on a hoist or level floor, as well, once fluid id "full", drive for an hour, let it cool and recheck, you will be low and need to top up.***

Worked like a champ, transmission, running super cool

My transmission runs cooler and the fit was perfect.

I am impressed with the quality of the pan. Probably going to be a while before I install.

Replaced the stock transmission pan and filter on 2021 RAM 1500 limited two months ago. The installation went as hoped (only complicated because of the RAM design where getting the vehicle level and having to jack the transmission to make the swap). In my case, I drained a little over 5 qts and added nearly 8 qts of fluid.
I pull a large travel trailer in the Arizona heat. The new pan consistently kept the transmission temps about 20 degrees cooler than what I observed previously. Really happy with the upgrade.

Huge upgrade from stock plastic pan.

Let's start with packaging. This pan comes well packaged and secure against shipping damage. Installation was simple and took less time than I thought. It even was supplied with a instruction sheet that had torque sequence. The replacement filter part number is literally EVERYWHERE which makes it easy to order a replacement. Drain plug and side pipe plug were torqued in place from the factory. Factory gasket was reused and fit like a glove along with the required factory bolt hole spacers. The pan's finish was complete and evenly applied, with no over spray on the gasket surface. This is the second deep pan that I've ordered and installed from PPE, and there is fixing to be a third.

Great communication and awesome product

2019 RAM Rebel, at just over 88K miles, probably waited a bit too long as I noted the factory plastic pan was leaking. The PPE pan was a perfect fit, ordered a new gasket and the groove in the PPE made it nice and easy to stay in place during the install. As with some models, I had to lift the transmission slightly to remove the factory pan and get the PPE pan to move in place. All worked out beautifully on the install! Looks great and noted a bit of an improvement in shifting gears. I did monitor the trans temp the few weeks before and it was averaging between 188-202 deg. With the new pan, seems just a tad bit lower temp, highest it went to was 197 deg. Overall, everything worked out!! One of my pan bolts snapped on removal, but no leaks at the moment and will monitor and wait to fix until it is time to change the fluid and filter.

This is the 2nd RAM I install this pan on. It's easy to install. I recommend buying a new gasket rather than reusing the old one. The replaceable filters is nice. The pan looks great and removes the cheap plastic OEM one.
k
Fit perfectly. Looks amazing. Wish they would offer new gasket also. The want you using old one which is fine. But I got a new one to use from dealer.

Fit 2015 Ram 8 speed transmission exactly. Much better quality than oem and cheaper.

Need to update compatibility- this fit my truck ram 22’ PW no problem

I installed this on my 2016 Ram 1500 Hemi 4x4. Went it great and offers a few key benefits. First, you can actually get to the drain plug unlike the stock pan. Plus it holds 2 extra quarts and moving forward, you reuse the pan and just replace the $25 filter. I’m super happy with the purchase. Now I’ll drain and flush the fluid much more often due to the design.

Was looking around to find a pan and filter to do a fluid change and came across this pan and I have to say it was a joy to install. Fast and easy and now with a removable pan it's only 30 dollars for a fluid change now instead of 300 for a pan and filter.
C
Fit and finish is perfect. This is definitely the best way to go when flushing the transmission on a 8HP70/75. Dealership wanted almost the same price for the plastic pan that doesn’t have a replacement filter. Once I got the old pan out the PPE pan went in easy. Did the heater and factory thermostat delete and added a inline High-Flow Transmission Thermostat. Transmission is running much cooler and shifts better. 185-190 before 145-160 after.
