How does every thread devolve into complete irrelevance?

I'm sure you've heard plenty from the embalmers...

Lots more blood clots (allegedly) from the Covid vaccines. We call it the "clot shot".

I'd give you 10 thumbs up if I could.

I'm angry and heart sick over the sudden losses that my family and circle of friends have experienced..

Man saw the owner on this interview when it came out, just seems to have a wealth of knowledge. I struggle with the pricing, not that is may not be worth it but just perhaps not worth it in a Ranger. If I had $10k for their trans, I would probably just get a Raptor Ranger instead. I say this as someone who LOVES their truck too and I even struggle with trading in for a RR if I could get one at MSRP.

That is by far the most comprehensive talk I have ever heard on transmissions.

Yeah, it made me want his parts in my Ranger till I saw the price lol. I am glad there is a market for their parts though. The full size trucks likely benefit most from his work.

UPDATE

Well that's a big negative on the cheap aluminum pan. It looks fine, fits fine, unless you intend to use the drain plug in place during operation. The plug contacts the transmission sump pump. With the plug removed, fits fine with just a hair of clearance. Obviously you cannot run the truck this way.

I reinstalled the stock pan with new filter and such. I likely will just send the other one back as the drain plug seems like a pretty specialized bit of hardware, don't think I'm going to successfully find something shorter to fit and seal properly.

Wow, how the hell did they manage that.

Interesting. I will probably try grinding the plug down so that it clears as it seems theres excess material that can be removed.

 

[xplorre]

I considered grinding it, need my truck for work tomorrow and it's getting hot so I buttoned it up. Let me know how the grinding goes...

It's easy. Sloppy engineering. They copied the original pan and added a drain plug... and did not consider anything else. Then they did not test fit it.

That's gonna cost them a bundle! They will probably design a new shorter drain plug and call it a day.

Aluminum expands as it heats up. I'd want more than just a 1/16" clearance.

Maybe double up on crush washers??? (bad Idea)

Wow wtf…glad I hadn’t ordered yet…Rockautos going get a lot of returns…

That's just stupid! The pan actually looks pretty nice too. Live and learn.
