Trucks and SUVs have a variety of configurations. Look at yours before you order to verify your transmission and clearance.
If you have skid plates, undercarriage protection or require a lower profile pan, check our stock capacity pan for the 6L80, 6L80E.
Note to 2015 and newer vehicle owners: GM introduced an 8 speed transmission in 2015 and a 10 speed in 2019 so check your configuration
Some vehicles have the 4 speed 4L60 transmission and can use PML part number 9427.
Camaro, Corvette, G8, Cadillac cars with the 6L80, 6L80E transmission: please see PML's stock capacity pan, which requires less clearance than this extra capacity pan. It is PML part number 11087.
This pan can be modified for pan filling. Please call or email if you want this deep pan and need to fill through the pan.
Loosening the exhaust pipe for installation: You might need to lower the exhaust cross over pipe to install this pan or do a service with the stock pan. Some customers recommend loosening the exhaust flanges at the manifolds with a crow's foot socket wrench. See Installations.

Filter and Gasket Information

PML transmission pans work with stock filters, easily available from your favorite auto parts store.
Because the pan is deeper than stock, the pan has filter supports cast in. The transmission fluid is at the same level with a PML pan as with the stock pan.
The stock GM filter is "GM Part No. 24236517" and the AC Delco box has part number "24236933".
This image shows a 6L80E transmission, stock filter and stock reusable gasket. Click on image to view larger.
PML designed this pan to accommodate the reusable factory gasket. Please make sure the gasket is clean and free of any holes or nicks to avoid leaks.
The gasket has two bumps to orient the gasket on the pan and hold it in place during installation.
Machining for Temperature Sensors
Three bosses are provided that can be machined for use with aftermarket sensors and gages. One location is on the driver or left side and the other two are on the passenger or right side.
If you would like PML to drill and tap a boss, the machining charge is per hole.
The most common thread specification is 1/8 NPT. If you need a hole other than 1/8 NPT, call or email us. Select the location when you order. The bosses can also be used as alternate drain plug locations.
Drain Plug and Bolts
The drain is on the driver/left side as shown in this image. The hole is at the bottom of the pan for thorough draining and on the side to avoid road hazards.

This pan includes a magnetic drain plug and mounting bolts.
