Does anyone have a link to a trans pan with a drain plug that is not so expensive. The stock one is cheap enough do they make a version with a plug ?

2014 GMC Sierrra 5.3L / 6- speed. Not a welder so the weld in plug not really a solution for me.

 

Thanks,

You can also buy a mamba bulk head fitting it has 2 metal and oil seals on it. Drill hole and install in would use lock tight and crank it down. Then buy a cap. Very cheap and very good. No need to paint or worry about rust.

If you exhaust isn't stock or at least doesn't have the cross pipe in the way of pan the moroso pan for the Camaro fits and looks better. Normal like $300 but Amazon had it for $97.de172e56765162418ef5c73d84015606.jpg

I never found one, so I made my own. Welded a 3/8" bung and use a plug. 

Did the same thing for my 8 speed

Like this then just a -10an cap. Say all under $20 super clean and easy install. I would go in the corner of the pan. Drill and bolt together. Done.90681bc834d87d3b8976a39f381463bc.jpg

I don't have a link but I found a perfect one at of all places NAPA sold one with a drain plug.   This was for a 2008 but I would try there, I seem to remember it was about $40-$60 and I never had an issue with it, perfect fit.

How far does this thing protrude up into the pan?  It looks like it may leave a quart? in the bottom of the pan.  Not that it matters a huge deal, just curious.

On a stock oil pan thickness it screws down flush. But you can always mount it to the side as well.

The transmission pan is $13.97 on Amazon, you could buy a weld on bung and get it done while your truck is still together. Throw a local shop cash and have them do it while they're working on other projects.

Just looked weld in steel bongs are super cheap. And any muffler shop can weld it in and that would be flush to the inside of pan. Also pans are cheap. I would sell mine but again they are cheap and if I remove trans I will not do so with my aluminum moroso pan on there.

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
