aFe Power Transmission Pan

1994–2007 Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500 5.9L Diesel

Part #: 46-70050

Overview

The aFe Power Transmission Pan is a premium performance upgrade engineered specifically for Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 727-DD transmission from 1994 through 2007. Designed to enhance transmission cooling and fluid capacity, this deep transmission pan helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, reducing wear and extending the life of your transmission under heavy-duty conditions.

Ideal for truck owners who frequently tow, haul, or drive in demanding environments, the aFe Power Transmission Pan delivers improved durability and reliability. By increasing fluid capacity and incorporating advanced cooling features, it offers a practical solution for managing heat buildup and protecting your drivetrain investment.

Key Features

Engineered for maximum cooling efficiency and long-lasting durability, the aFe Power Transmission Pan includes several advanced design elements:

• Machined Internal and External Fins: Precision-machined fins increase surface area to dissipate heat effectively from the transmission fluid to ambient air, lowering operating temperatures.
• Increased Fluid Capacity: Adds 3 to 4 quarts more transmission fluid than the stock pan, enhancing cooling and lubrication performance.
• Die-Cast A380 Aluminum Construction: Lightweight yet highly durable material offers excellent strength and corrosion resistance for long-term use.
• Neodymium Magnetic Drain Plug: Captures metal particles and debris to protect internal transmission components from wear and damage.
• 1/8" NPT Temperature Sensor Port: Allows easy installation of a transmission temperature sensor for real-time fluid temperature monitoring.
• Reinforced Ribs: Structural ribs increase rigidity and durability to withstand harsh driving and heavy loads.
• Compatible with Stock Filter and Gasket: Designed for seamless integration with factory components (gasket sold separately).
• 50 State Legal: Meets regulatory requirements for use across the United States.
• 2 Year Limited Warranty: Backed by aFe Power’s commitment to quality and reliability.

Construction & Design

The transmission pan is crafted from premium die-cast A380 aluminum, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Reinforced ribs provide added structural integrity, ensuring the pan withstands the rigors of heavy-duty use and off-road conditions.

Both internal and external fins are precision-machined to maximize heat transfer, increasing the surface area exposed to airflow and effectively cooling the transmission fluid. The included neodymium magnetic drain plug attracts and holds metal shavings and debris, preventing potential damage to transmission internals. Additionally, the pan features a threaded 1/8" NPT port for easy installation of a temperature sensor, enabling real-time monitoring of transmission fluid temperatures.

Installation & Fitment

The aFe Power Transmission Pan is designed for a direct bolt-on installation to the factory transmission housing on 1994–2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 5.9L diesel engine and 727-DD transmission. It is compatible with the stock transmission filter and allows reuse of the factory gasket; however, the gasket must be purchased separately (part number 46-70055).

Installation requires only basic hand tools and no modifications, making it a straightforward upgrade for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts seeking enhanced transmission protection and cooling.
