I also have the Mag-hytec pan with even tighter exhaust tubing with a Gen III motor in a Sonoma. There's about 1/4" clearance all around the driver side pipe that wraps under the bell housing.

Hey Dick, like Bill said, you shouldn't have any problems with the Mag-Hytec pan.

I dont have a deep pan or 3" Y pipe, but it looks like it would be real real real close.

If you getting the pan to run cooler why not stick another trans cooler in line?

Easiest answer: More capacity AND an aluminum finned pan to help with cooling, vs just cooling. Both actually would be the biggest help but don't most of the newer 1/2 tons already have an internal tranny cooler in the radiator in addition to an auxiliary trans cooler under the hood latch in front of the A/C condenser?

Default deep pans

Thanks guys, as you know heat kills transmissions & a higher stall conv. generate more of that too. I had a derale deep pan but, lost it when the pacesetters when on ,no notch to clear 3" cross pipe.I do have the stock cooler plus a extra cooler.I think I going try the cast aluminum pan Trick flow makes it has the notch & 3 qts extra cap. See you Bill when you get back from your vacation! Hey holty where have you been .PS put truck on dyno Max power=360.35 Max torque=351.60 on Dynojet dyno at SARVER AUTO MOTIVE in sarver PA. Brian H. tune PERF. FOR LESS.

Default Deep trans pan

Ok the Trick Flow cast alum. pan worked but trans cross member & the y pipe had come off. You might be better off getting a pro to do it unless you have lift & a trans support stand laying around. c'ya.

Guess what, my mechanic when installing deep trans pan raise the trans with 1/2 spacer between trans mount & cross memeber to get clearance about 1/8 inch at closest point. my question is will this 1/2 inch cause a problem?
