Will this aftermarket tranny oil pan void factory warranty? Thank you very much.
Good question. I plan to retain the old POS plastic pan just in case. It certainly won't change the function of anything other than the ease of making transmission fluid changes; so, from a practical standpoint it won't degrade or hasten the demise of anything in the vehicle.
I plan to keep the truck long after the warranty expiration. If I only planned to keep the truck for 100K, I wouldn't bother with the pan or the changes, I'd just stick someone else with it with a smiley face from the Ford owners manual saying I had done all required maintenance. Knowing full well that the fluid would be shot by that time. My last truck went over 200K and since I live in NC, my intent is for this one to be a fine looking and running truck that hasn't cost me a fortune by the time it rolls 200K.
