    best 4l80e transmission pan?

    i figure since i got the pan off might as well put something better on there to hold more fluid. are there different pans for different year models? or is 4l80e all the same

    Contact 700R4, 700 Raptor Transmission from PATC, 700R4 4L60E 48RE 4L80E and order one of the huge +3.5 qt capacity oil pans. Its what I have on mine and its heavy duty aluminum. Get PN #3XX for the most fluid and strength if you have room for it to drop straight down another inch or so from stock depth.

    i also found this one which is a little more expensive but it looks really nice.

    Transmission Pans for a GM 4L80E Fits the following vehicles GM 1992-2007 1500/2500/3500 Trucks, Suburbans 6.0 Liter HD Trucks Overall height is 4 1/2" Holds 4.5 quarts more fluid than stock pan - Transmission Pans - Off Road Unlimited

    ill have to see where 4.5" brings it down to, if it's not too low i might as well get it.

    Here's an alternative for a little bit less money (if that's a concern for a high-roller like yourself Illya )

    2 extra quarts and cooling tubes for $80 is a pretty good deal.

    That one was thanks to Moze. I prefer the cast aluminum ones. There are sooooo many welds on those with the tubes. I always worry about leaks with that many welds.

    i measured and 4.5" was still higher than the exhuast pipe so i ordered the ORU pan. 336.00

    looks like a really nice one and holds 4.5 quarts more than the stock.
