Dakota Owners and those with front routed exhaust: Other aftermarket pans have the step but not the curved relief for vehicles with the exhaust routed along the front of the pan. This pan has both. For a picture, see the installation on a Dakota below. Configurations vary so always check your vehicle. Please check your vehicle to be sure you have room for a larger pan (reference pan dimensions in our Technical Information section below). The exhaust system and frame cross members are the primary concerns. This pan is designed to work with the stock filter and gasket.PML designed this pan to work with the stock filter and gasket. For a gasket, PML recommends an inexpensive cork or cork composite type gasket or the silicon gasket maker. Some Dodge vehicles use the Mopar silicon gasket maker, which comes in a tube, with the stock pan. This works fine with a PML pan. There are two different stock pans and two different filters for this Chrysler/Dodge transmission. One is sometimes referred to as the "4WD filter" even though it is used on 2WD vehicles as well, it has a long pickup tube in the middle of the filter. The "2WD" filter is found on vehicles 2006-UP, the pickup tube is short and located near the end of the filter. For PML part numbers 10304 and 11039, you can use either filter. For PML part numbers 11078 and 11079, you must use the "4WD" filter. PML does not include a filter with the pan. Here is a list of filter part numbers that will work on all PML RFE pans:
The filter bolts onto the valve body, no filter support or extension is needed. The fluid will be at the same level with a stock pan as with the PML pan. The filter will pick up from the same place. PML designs pans and covers to work with stock parts without the need for additional modifications or complications.

In the above photo you can see the interior of the pan and the cast-in baffles. These baffles are designed to direct oil to the filter inlet, keeping the oil near the pickup tube. These baffles also act as a heat sink to help with cooling and reduce sloshing. This pan has a location on the driver's side that can be machined for a temperature sending unit. The location is a circular boss and can accommodate between 1/8 NPT and 1/2 NPT. PML can drill and tap the hole to order for a $65 machining fee. In the above photo you can see a depth comparison between all of the available RFE PML pans. If one RFE pan will not fit there are 3 other options to choose from. Above you can see a side-by-side comparison of the Deep(11079)Pan with Step and Relief with the 2 stock pans. |
