Nope plastic pans suck if they didn’t there wouldn’t be a leaking problem or the need to build a metal one and I fully expect someone to say something because there are fanboys to everything but hey if you like overpaying for a pretty basic product from someone who has a monopoly on it then so...

Lol I think your fanboy blinders are on too tight to notice the difference between criticism and a “shitty comment”. All I said was that the price was a little high for what customers are getting and your response was that he made it in the most inefficient way that was way more labor intensive...

lol relax dude I’m not saying your friend is ripping people off, if I was the only one making a part that people really wanted I would charge what I wanted too

There is a metal pan made by FenFab that seems pretty good but personally I think $600 is kinda steep for what you are paying for it’s basically sheets of aluminum welded together. The PPE trans pan is made from basically the same amount of aluminum and it’s $200 less, even the Banks power oil...

Those digital guages on the instrument cluster are calibrated to the 2 extremes of the temp range so a normal person with no mechanical experience can look down and judge if the car is in good working order for example the coolant gauge hits the center at 174F and stays there all the way to...

So in another post why did you tell someone that if it’s in the middles the trans temp is at 206F why didn’t you just tell them that’s it’s unreliable and it could be part of a huge range what if that’s all they had to go off of and assumed it was at 206F when it was really at 135F

It depends, based on my experience Iv seen it hit the middles as low as 135F and stay there all the way up to 221F

Here are a few pics where the tow-haul mode is telling me the temp is in a “normal” range and the corresponding temp that isn’t 206F-215F, so either the sensors or lying or my car is magic

Nowhere does it say “make sure is at NORMAL OPERATING TEMP” those words aren’t in the service manual (atleast the one I’m using), it’s the upper end of the operating range, for example the coolant can swing from 174F-230F and maybe a little more that’s a temp difference of 56F, you’re telling...

I agree, the Platinum is no slouch either and it’s a little hard to tell under normal driving but it doesn’t keep up with the ST when it comes to the upper end of the power band but I bought it as a long distance cruiser and it’s amazing at that with way more power than it needs, I wish someone...

That’s what I was trying to explain, I’m an engineer and fix helicopters for the army and one of the main reason for component failure especially for plastics is heat cycling or heat soaking and I wanted a trans pan to get rid of the heat as fast as possible when I turn off the car instead of...

The 192F is the coolant, there is a 170F thermostat in the cooling system and I know it opens at 174F so the car is currently trying to cool itself the 166F is the trans temp it’s about 66F-68F outside based on the temp reading in the car and the weather app on my phone backs that up, pics were...

Mine isn’t the deep pan, it’s the regular one and maybe the platinum runs cooler than the ST but it’s what I’ve gotten

This is about the trans pan not the retardly overpriced gauge I bought so I can get rid of the NPT port and when I take my dash back apart I’ll post detailed pics of the potential fire hazard I created but it wasn’t worth it but it works

It’s a simple pigtail that comes in the box that you splice into the labeled wires and connect the gauge to instead on the OBD2 connector and the tutorial is on their website I broke 3 clips getting the dash off to do it I’m not doing that again for a simple pic if I do any other upgrades in the...
