2015-2018 Silverado & Sierra 1500 PPE Deep Black Transmission Pan for 8L90 Transmissions

2015-2018 Silverado & Sierra 1500 PPE 8L90 Deep Black Aluminum Transmission Pan Features:

• Premium A356.0-T6 heat-treated cast aluminum alloy – a high-strength, thermally conductive material
• Precision-cast using permanent steel molds for a smooth, consistent finish and high dimensional accuracy
• Increases fluid capacity by 3.8 quarts for higher thermal capacity
• Tall 3/4-inch external fins improve heat dissipation, lower transmission fluid temperature, and increase impact resistance
• Deep 7/8-inch internal baffles enhance heat absorption and minimize fluid sloshing
• External fins and internal baffles work together to form an ultra-strong Cross-Bracing structure
• Cast-in gussets for additional transmission housing flange support and increased rigidity
• 304 Stainless steel service plugs with built-in high temperature rated neodymium magnet and Viton O-ring
• Integrated standpipe ensures accurate fluid level checks during the filling process
• Equipped with a 1/8-inch NPT port with pre-installed NPT plug
• Compatible with OEM gasket and filter

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 3.8 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. A fluid level check standpipe ensures proper fluid level. The drain plug and fluid level check plug are both equipped with a powerful, high-temperature-rated neodymium magnet that captures ferrous metal particles, providing additional protection for your transmission. Keep your transmission running longer, healthier, and cooler with PPE.
