Transmission Pan

[Tys expedition]

i got under mine recently and i have the plastic trans pan. has anyone had there's electively replaced. seems like a terrible idea to have a plastic pan. I'm curious if anyone has just asked ford to replace there's and what it might have cost. thanks for the help guys.

Oil pan or transmission pan?

I have the plastic oil pan and Tranny pan. No problems yet. I don’t think there is a straight metal pan update for either at this point but I could be wrong. I would be more interested in the ability to check transmission fluid from the engine bay, drain, and replace the tranny fluid if such an upgrade existed. I am unconvinced of lifetime transmission fluid.

So you mean your lifetime for the truck is different from Ford's we will sell you a new one lifetime??? : )

Engine oil is also a lifetime fluid. If you don’t change it, it will last the life of the engine.

However, back on topic, I wouldn’t be too concerned with a plastic transmission pan. I’d bet your gas tank is also plastic. No worries there, right?

I’d be way more concerned with the lack of drain plug.

Mag-Hytec may have a pan (with a drain plug). Possibly even Dorman. I’m about to replace the pan on my 2014 with a Dorman pan with a drain plug.

But a gas tank leak won’t destroy your engine, you’ll just run out of gas. I have look for metal pan upgrades and as of yet have not found a cost effective or even compatible replacement. The aftermarket hasn’t caught up to the Gen 4 yet.

Until the design is proven bad by reports of leaks, etc..I don't see the point of changing it.

i wouldn't care if it had a decent skid but there's literally a piece of felt to hold back any trail obstacles. as of yet short oft doing the raptor trans skid the aftermarket hasnt addressed the expo skid needs
