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 the F250, F350, F450, F550, E350, and E450 with these engines:

• 2003-2007, some 2008 and newer, with 6.0 Power Stroke diesel
• 2005-2007, some 2008 and newer, with 5.4 V8 and 6.8 V10

2008 and Newer Ford Trucks

In 2008, Ford added a new style of transmission pan and filter. The new style has a larger transmission pan and a filter that is internal, located inside the pan. 2008 and newer vehicles can have either the a "new style" transmission pan with an internal filter or the "old style" pan with an external filter. Please check which you have before ordering.

External Filter Style Pan
Pictured at left is the old style stock pan and external filter. If you have an external spin-on transmission oil filter near the bell housing (as shown), this PML pan, part number 9973, is for you.

The Ford logo is on the side.

Internal Filter Style Pan
Pictured at left here is the new style stock pan. It is larger to accomodate an internal filter. If you have this larger pan with internal filter, PML's new TorqShift transmission pan, part number 11049, is for you.

The Ford logo is in the middle.

Excursion Owners

Some models of the Excursion have clearance issues and cannot accomodate a deeper pan. Please check your vehicle before ordering.

Temperature Sensor Option

PML designed the 5R110 transmission pan to accomodate as many customers as possible. This pan has two possible locations for a temperature sensor, one on the driver's side and one on the passenger's side, opposite the drain hole. The bosses in these locations can accomodate from 1/8 to 1/2 NPT. Machining these bosses is optional and can be ordered from PML if desired.

About Filters

PML designed this pan to work with the stock filter.

The pan has cast-in filter supports. A filter extension is not needed.

About Gaskets

PML recommends a rubber-cork gasket as show in the image.

PML strongly recommends against reuseable rubber gaskets for several reasons. They nick easily, resulting in leaks. Their hole guides can cause gaps between the pan and the transmission case mating surface. Reuseable rubber gaskets are intended to be used with stamped steel stock pans which flex to provide a seal. Sand cast aluminum pans have machined flanges and DO NOT flex. The rubber-cork gasket is used to seal machined surfaces.
