Any DIESEL owners running PPE's transmission pan?

[KEG2021]

Did you re-use the gasket or source a new one?

I reused the original one, was in good shape.

@WILDHOBO Is running one think He likes it .

That I do. Very nice.

He also is running skids . @WILDHOBO is a very helpful guy sure He would drop a line or 2 or advise.

I’m running full belly skids from next venture motorsports. I made one cosmetic trim to the skid, but it was entirely inconsequential. Their skids are thicker than many out there, so if the oak works with theirs, it will likely work with most of them.

I went with a new gasket as they changed the style to a double seal bead on the gasket. My original had minor seeping, but nothing that would lower the fluid level.

New for me.

This isn’t the right one I don’t think, unless you have the diesel. If you have the 3.6l, they make one with clearances for the exhaust crossover.

Yes I do have the diesel. Seems to be some confusion in this thread about that.

Then you’re good. What year? If it’s me, I’m not dropping the pan without a new gasket sitting there. Too cheap to risk having to drive to the dealer with the pan down in my opinion. And depending on your model year, you might have the old style gasket like on my 2021.

Installed one of these about a year ago. Temps dropped about 15 degrees and now seldom exceed 190 degrees. I added this because I pull an overland trailer on the highway and I believe this will add a little bit of life to the tranny. I also installed the PPE oil pan and saw similar results.

I searched a new gasket on All Mopar Parts website and all I came up with was an entire kit for the pan, filter, gasket. That’s why I was asking about sourcing a new gasket. I avoid calling my dealer parts dept because they think those parts are made of pure gold.

Nice. Gas or diesel engine? And do you have any skids under there? I’m trying to find anyone who has this transmission pan on a diesel with a skid plate

Called my local dealer about a gasket…. They want $170 for it. That’s for just the gasket. Knew I shouldn’t have even called them. Anyone have a good recommendation on where to source a quality gasket, OEM or not?

It wasn’t expensive. I got it at a local dealer. Just the gasket. Nothing else. Well. The fluid.

That dealer is insane. Ask Benny @AllMoparParts.com.
