Strong And Cool PPE Aluminum Transmission and Diff Covers

Aluminum differential covers are starting to show up standard on new diesel pickups. Thanks to Pacific Performance Engineering (PPE), if you own an older truck you can upgrade and enjoy cooler differential fluid temperatures and the benefits of increased fluid capacity, too. More capacity means the fluid does not have to work as hard or as often. It also means more space for contamination to get suspended. PPE’s differential covers fit ’03-and-newer Dodge Rams equipped with a diesel and ’01-and-newer Duramax-equipped GM pickups.   |   strong And Cool Aluminum Covers diff Cover Aluminum Transmission Pan
Dodge automatic transmissions might especially benefit from the extra strength the side ribs on the PPE pan provide. The transmission’s internals are also helped by the extra fluid capacity in the same ways we described with the differential cover. The basic principle is more surface area equals more space for the heat to escape or transfer to the ambient air. PPE’s transmission pan is designed to fit ’66 to ’07 Dodge transmissions. In our case, our ’05 came with the four-speed 48RE. While we were at it, we decided to fix a potential problem that could let air into the transmission’s fluid system. In the end, we got a better look and more performance. According to PPE, the raw aluminum finish of its pans provides increased heat rejection properties as compared to units that have been painted.   |   strong And Cool Aluminum Covers transmission Pan
