Magent only had what I could tell was the clutch material. Yes, went with a Dorman pan just to gain the drain plug. Identical to the oem one. I'll cut the filter open probably tomorrow. Just trying to get it all back together at the moment.
Haven't dug into the catch bucket yet. It's setting to the side and I'll get to it. About to drop pan, change filter and put new pan on with drain for future. I'll post back what I find.
Extremely cold over night and started the dipstick removal/replacement. Stock dipstick between 5-6 dead even with second diamond. Checked it at least 8 times. All same reading. I'm not an expert but won't that drop even more once to operating Temps?
I'm as happy as can be. Mine came in today. Weather is crap but I don't care. Mike has outdone himself on this bad boy. Packaging was superb. Very finite details. All items taped in place.

I can’t thank y’all enough on the discussions about the Dorman pan. I went ahead and ordered it along with filter, fluid and got on the waiting list for the Fitzstick. I didn’t feel the need for the larger pan and its superior cooling capacity as I have the big diesel for my towing. This little...
I see what you’re saying. I just went off the rock auto sight that said steel powder coat. Thanks for the clarification. I didn’t think to look it up on dormans actual sight.
Long time lurker first time post creator but would appreciate any input on if anyone has bought the Dorman transmission pan that fits with the drain plug? I know there’s the others that are far more superior but I don’t feel I need that. I just want a pan that has a drain plug. I would...
I’ve been a long time lurker and so much useful info in here I’ve utilized but this garnered my attention enough to actually become a member. Please add me to the list to purchase. Once available I’ll pay in whatever terms you set.
