So....rather than pay someone to change my trans fluid, I'd rather do it myself and put some of the money that would be going to the mechanic into buying a new transmission pan. Specifically, a larger capacity aluminum one that will help keep the trans temp a little cooler. But which one do I need/want???
I have a 2012 Ram 1500. 6speed, 4x4. And I have no plans on changing the stock exhaust.


Thanks!

Looking on Moes Performance, They make several different pans for our trucks. Which one fits my truck? That's what I'm confused about.

Moe's had a great reputation on this forum. I would give him a call and let him tell you which one will fit your truck.
