Default trans pans

I purchased a Derale trans pan with cooling tubes. But it does not fit. WHere can I get a larger pan with a drain plug that fits my 4L65E on my VHO.

you might have the wrong filter, there's a long and short filter.

The long one comes with the newer style full size trucks
the shorter filter comes on the s-10 and blazer trucks
They uses the same trans, just different length pans, but the "deeper" pans fit on either one

Try getting another "short" filter and see if that works. Just swap the filter, and not the ring
