PML has designed and manufactured a heavy duty, extra capacity Ford 10R80 transmission pan for 2017 and newer Ford F150 and Ranger trucks and SUVs.

Cautions:

  1. Access to the stock pan may be difficult. On some vehicles, cooling tubes, exhaust pipes, frame cross members and skid plates must be removed or loosened and lowered. Video of an installation: https://youtu.be/llKEEhhZ1tg
  2. Thin, metal heat shielding around the edges of the stock pan may need to be trimmed or removed to fit on the PML pan.
  3. Flange does NOT have holes on the side for blanket that wraps around transmission (blanket may only be on 2017 models).
  4. PML pan may NOT work with factory skid plates without modification to plate or spacers.
  5. This is a NEW product and we have not had installations on any SUVs.
  6. Mustang ground cleance is limited so see PML 10R80 stock capacity pan.

Before ordering, review these cautions and your vehicle configuration. There is a restocking fee for returns. See our Return Policy.

Benefits of a PML 10R80 Transmission Pan:

  • Drain and magnetic drain plug for easier fluid changes
  • Extra capacity
  • Heavy duty sand cast aluminum construction (not plastic)
  • Finned to increase surface area for heat dissipation
  • Thick walls and gasket flange
  • PML pan fits without modification to cooling tubes or exhaust

PML designed this deep transmission pan to maintain clearance on trucks and SUVs. It should clear other components, such as cooling lines and the exhaust, and it should not hang down below the frame. You must check your vehicle to verify.

Stock Pan, Transmission, Filter and Dipstick

PML designed our transmission pan to work with the stock transmission, filter, gasket, dipstick and level check/fill procedure. PML allowed for the cooling lines, plates, exhaust and frame near the pan.

On some vehicles, there is heat shielding insulation around the stock pan and undercarriage protection. There are also cooling tubes and exhaust pipes that must be moved to access the stock pan.

Ford and GM jointly developed a 10 speed transmission. Both Ford and GM will be using this transmission beginning with 2017 models. Ford calls it a 10R80 and GM calls it a 10L80. The pans are not the same.

Ford and GM are also planning beefier 10 speed transmissions, the Ford 10R140 and the GM 10L90.

Inside of PML Pan and Bosses on Side Walls

The inside of the PML pan has ridges similar to the stock pan.

On the left and right side walls, PML has two bosses. These are thick, round areas that can be drilled and tapped. A common use would be for a temperature sending unit to monitor the temperature of the fluid in the pan. The bosses are about 0.9 inches in diameter.

Drain

  • Drain hole is on the bottom of the pan, toward the rear, on the passenger/right side
  • Magnetic drain plug is a 3/8 NPT and recessed so the plug does not hang down
  • Magnetic drain plug is included

A drain hole makes servicing the transmission easier. Fluid can be replaced without dropping the pan.
