PPE aftermarket transmission oil pan

It would be hard to say. It might but I dont have a skid plate.

I understand getting the fluid level correct could be a pain to get right - the ‘dipstick’ is right under there and needs different amounts depending on the application? Do you have any comment on how you overcame this?

Trial and error. We put in about 6 quarts. Warmed it up and then added another two and that seemed to be the right amount. At the end of the day it took 8 quarts

Did you have to loosen transmission mount bolts to get the new pan to fit (I saw in another thread on a 2018 that the normal capacity pan he had to loosen trani mount and raise to get clearance to get it installed)

Thanks,

also, I believe this is the correct part that has enough internal clearance not to hit the pump housing:

2017-2023 FORD w/ 10R80 Transmission Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Deep Transmission Pan

Ford's 10R80 transmission is revolutionary. This 10-speed power manager can go from street to strip with a flick of a button on some vehicle applications. All this available power generates more heat. Even daily light-to-light commutes create high heat. High heat destroys transmission internals...

Yes, we did.

Did you reuse oem bolts? if so, what torque...

I read this on F150 forum

"
Well this is certainly a fun project. I would have gotten everything done but ran into a snag with the PPE transmission pan install. Stock torque specs for the transmission pan is 106 inch pounds for the studs and 89 inch pounds for the bolts. The PPE instructions said to tighten everything to 18-22 foot pounds.

That is a lot more torque on the flimsy stock bolts so I figured I'd give one a try. When torquing down, it did not feel right and sure enough snapped the bolt at 12 foot pounds."
