Part #: 228051020

The PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan is a premium upgrade designed to enhance the durability, cooling efficiency, and overall reliability of your vehicle’s transmission system. Engineered specifically for Dodge Ram models from 1994 to 2001 with 5.9L Diesel and V8 engines, Jeep Grand Cherokee 1998 5.9L V8, and Dodge Dakota and Durango models from 1998 to 2003 with 5.9L V8 engines, this transmission pan is built to meet the demands of heavy-duty use.

Whether you tow heavy loads, tackle off-road trails, or simply want to extend the life of your transmission during daily driving, the PPE HD Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan offers increased fluid capacity and superior heat dissipation. This helps prevent overheating and fluid degradation, two of the leading causes of transmission failure, ensuring your transmission stays cooler and cleaner under all conditions.

Key Features

Designed with performance and longevity in mind, the PPE HD Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan incorporates advanced features that provide superior transmission protection and cooling:

• Constructed from high-grade cast aluminum for exceptional strength and corrosion resistance
• Increased fluid capacity by 4 quarts to enhance cooling and lubrication
• Deep cooling fins integrated into the pan to maximize heat dissipation
• Internal baffles reduce fluid sloshing, maintaining consistent fluid coverage during acceleration and cornering
• Built-in neodymium magnet captures metal particles and debris, protecting transmission components
• Precision-machined sealing surface ensures a reliable, leak-free installation
• Direct bolt-on fitment for specified Dodge and Jeep models, compatible with OEM and aftermarket transmission fluids

Construction & Design

The PPE HD Transmission Pan is crafted from premium cast aluminum, chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and durability. This material resists corrosion far better than traditional stamped steel pans and provides a rigid structure that withstands impacts from road debris and harsh driving environments.

Its deep cooling fins increase the surface area of the pan, allowing heat to dissipate more efficiently and helping maintain optimal transmission fluid temperatures. Inside, strategically placed internal baffles minimize fluid movement during dynamic driving conditions, preventing aeration and ensuring consistent lubrication. The integrated neodymium magnet is a critical design element that traps metal shavings and contaminants, reducing wear on transmission components and extending service intervals.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the PPE HD Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan is straightforward and requires no modifications. It is a direct replacement for the factory transmission pan on 1994–2001 Dodge Ram 5.9L Diesel and V8, 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9L V8, 1998–2003 Dodge Dakota and Durango 5.9L V8, and 2002–2009 Dodge Ram 5.9L Diesel and V8 models. The pan includes all necessary sealing surfaces and mounting points to ensure a secure, leak-free fit.

For optimal results, it is recommended to replace the transmission fluid and filter during installation. This upgrade is suitable for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts looking to improve transmission cooling and protection.

What’s Included

• One PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan
