question about deep pans anyone here run a deep pan on their 60e? im just curious how much cooler the transmission would be if i ran one. if anyone has a pic of how far theirs hangs down can you post it along with what brand.
also, is it true if I were to use the pan from the full size trucks with the drain plug that it holds about an extra 1/2 qt or so?

A deep pan helps fluid temp because it takes longer to heat a greater volume of fluid. It also has more surface area exposed to cool air to radiate heat.
The truck pan probably holds a qt more. It's cheap too, about $20 new from GM.

I wouldn't use it if you paid me because it hangs down too low. I doubt it cools much; it won't cool at all in stop-go traffic which can heat up the trans especially with a high stall converter.

I am very happy with an deep (truck sized) aluminum pan I found on ebay. Search for "GM 700R4 Polished Aluminum Transmission Pan Deep 4L60E"; the seller is
abad71camaro. This holds one extra quart, same as the truck pan. (Most aluminum pans on ebay are standard depth, this is the only deep one I found.)
They also have it at their website:

We just had an entire thread on that:

I didn't catch that one. I'll be putting in a B&M cooler soon.
