In this video, we take a closer look at PPE’s ZF8 transmission pan upgrade for 2013-and-newer Ram 1500 trucks. Eric and Charles break down the problems with the factory plastic pan and explain how PPE’s aluminum replacement improves cooling, serviceability, fluid capacity, and underbody protection. The PPE pan is built from A356-T6 aluminum, adds two extra quarts of fluid capacity, includes a functional drain plug, and allows the transmission filter to be replaced separately instead of replacing the entire pan. Its integrated cooling fins help pull heat away from the transmission, while the stronger aluminum construction provides better protection against rocks, debris, and off-road impacts.
Whether you tow, haul, drive off-road, or simply want an easier way to service your transmission, this overview will help you understand why a transmission pan upgrade can be a smart investment.
