I've always been taught to never overfill an auto trans so I personally wouldn't add more than what it takes to get it to the top hot dot...

ok,

next time I have it on the highway I will check the fluid then. it still only reaches the 160's on the highway but ill check it and add accordingly to get it close to the top dot.

 

[Hootbro]

Yeah, the cold fluid check on the dipstick is worthless on these transmissions. If I went by my cold fluid level, you would think it was overfilled by 4 quarts.

In summer months, my morning commute gets it into the 168-176 degree range and I check it then with the parking brake set, transmission in neutral after cycling through the gears. First time I did this, I was actually about 1.5 quarts low from the factory fill. Have since topped off and rechecked as previously stated and all is good.

Cool ! Post up some pics of the install Sir , I'm interested in this pan and it's P/N

 

[Hemi395]

Will do! Probably won't be until next weekend by the time I get the pan and have time to change it. This will be the third I've had the pan off my trans in the last month

3 times!

what have you been up to?

 

[Hemi395]

Ha first time I changed to the Dorman pan. The second time I added a drain plug to the OEM pan and put that back on. Changing to the MagHytec pan will be number 3...

did you at least get a filter change in there since you were in there 2 times already? LOL

Lol yes I did the first time I dropped the pan

 

[R.L.K.]

Hope the Mag-Hytec pan goes well , no filter contact , nice fit and all .
I'm wanting to install a drain plug kit in my oem one , but I'd also like the extra fluid capacity and cooling finlets of an after market pan .

@Hemi395 , is the drain plug kit in the oem pan leaking or something ?

 

[Hemi395]

It's not leaking or anything, it's just I can see it being a problem in the future. You have to hold the bolt on the pan itself with a 3/4 wrench while you undo the drain plug and when you tighten it. Otherwise it spins in the pan and I can see that leaking after a while. I plan on doing a few drain and fills with TransMax before switching to C+ and I will be PISSED if it starts leaking with $12/quart C+ in it

Unbolt the y pipe at the manifolds, you will need the room to install the new pan
