Some before and after PPE(Shallow) pan data logs

Thank you for the recommendation! I saw that one but no specs on their page on if it holds extra coolant like the Mishimoto page does. Did you happen to notice if fluid capacity was higher when refilling during install?

Haven't installed it yet but it's bigger than stock.

There are 3 ports on the external trans cooler thermostat. I capped all 3 with large rubber vacuum caps and left the electrical plug plugged into it. This allows the ECU to not throw a fault code thinking there’s an issue with the thermostat opening / closing.

You remove the line that left the thermostat port that loops coolant back into the system when it’s bypassing the trans cooler and use a radiator rated rubber cap to cap off the part of the t fitting it utilizes in the main coolant hose tract. You then connect the coolant feed hose that was sending coolant into the thermostat to the thermostat output hose that leads to the trans cooler. I used a brass barb fitting from Lowe’s to accomplish that. You need to remove the drivers side front tire and inner fender liner that covers the oil filter to access everything.

Space is tight, hoses are a PITA to get off the thermostat, and you’ll get a coolant bath (which you have to replenish and burp the coolant tank after due to coolant lost), but overall I’m happy with the end result.

Easiest and always effective refill / burp procedure I use is found here:

Would you happen to have a picture or two of the trans cooler thermostat and hose routing mods that you made?

Unfortunately I do not. However once you look at it you will find it very easy to understand.

This a good article about 10r80 and info about ideal operating temps here:

https://www.fordmuscle.com/tech-sto...t-10r80-transmissions-with-brady-performance/

This is one of the better articles that I have read concerning the weaknesses of the 10R80 transmission, esp concerning the optimal temperature, valve body, and solenoids. Thanks for posting. Once those soleniods start sticking, it is only a matter of time. The thermal bypass mod looks easy enough to do.

Thanks for posting

I know this is an older post but I’m interested in the magnetic in line filter.. this could be a big plus in keeping the valve body solenoids clean and malfunctioning..

Here are the two plots for when the trailer was attached. Same trip as above, just the opposite.

These two don't show as much of a difference as the unloaded graphs, but then again, the truck was dealing with almost 20-degree hotter ambient air as well.

The trailer is attached without the PPE pan. (75f Day)

This towing the trailer with the PPE Pan (91f Day)

I would have to be there to truly see all the conditions for the Transmission Temperature as I suspect there was either Stop and Go traffic involved some or som grades involved. That said if you look closely you can tell the transmission temperature is a bit more stable and comes down easier compared to the stock pan.

Glowshift trans temp gauge

Which specific trans temp gauge fits this pan? Im looking to do the same thing
