This PML transmission pan fits the Ford 5R110, 5R110W TorqShift automatic transmission from 2003 to around 2008. 2008 is a transition year when Ford updated the 5R110 and moved a filter inside the transmission pan.

PML designed this deep pan to help the TorqShift 5R110 transmission better handle the high stresses of towing and hauling. It fits the 5R110 automatic transmission used in many models of Ford trucks, SUVs, and vans. Here are some examples of vehicles that may be able to use this pan:

  • 2003 to 2007, some 2008, F250, F350, F450, F550, E340, E450 with 6.0 Power Stroke Diesel
  • 2005 to 2007, some 2008, F250, F350, F450, F550, E340, E450 with 6.8 V10
  • 2004 to 2005 Excursion with 6.0 Power Stroke Diesel
  • Some motorhomes based on these platforms

Vehicle configurations vary so always check to verify transmission and space available for a larger pan.

Check your stock pan before ordering. This pan replaces the stock pan that accommodates the additional internal filter. Ford updated the transmission and transmission pan in 2008. 2008 is a transition year. The 2008 and newer models have a larger transmission pan and an additional filter is located inside the pan. The middle of the pan is about 4 1/2 inches wide. On the 2003 to 2007 stock pan, the middle is about 3 inches wide. See these pictures:

5.4L Engine Vehicles (F250 and Excusion): Some models of the Excursion and the F250 with the 5.4L gas engine have clearance issues and cannot accommodate a deeper pan. A larger aftermarket pan may or may not work on your vehicle.

Using the dimensions, check your vehicle before ordering. Look for clearance problems especially with frame cross members and the exhaust. Click here for dimensions.

The pan has cast-in filter supports inside the pan. The fluid level is at the same place with the PML pan as with the stock pan. The pick up for the transmission fluid is at the point with the PML pan as with the stock pan. A filter extension is not needed.

About Gaskets

PML recommends a flexible cork or cork composite gasket for this pan, such as this:

This cork gasket is a replacement for Ford OEM part number E9TZ-7A191-A. We ordered it from GlobalTransmissionParts.com and their part number is 3072A. This gasket will work with E4OD, 4R100 and 5R110 transmissions.

We do not recomment hard, reusable gaskets for our pans.
