kelleyperformance Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 i have never seen the "tube design" but yes, deeper pans with fins have been proven to knock a few degrees off. however, they can cut down on ground clearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KissMySilvSS Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Think they really knock off 20*? I was thinking of maybe getting one of these instead of mounting a trans cooler? I am installing Transgo HD2-C, Vette Servos, FLT Aluminum Acc. Pistons, TB TC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Teddy you will benefit more from a big cooler then that pan, Danny(sprayed99) is setting me up with a custom fabbed Tru Cool Max 48k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleyperformance Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 it will help, but not near 20*. a large cooler will definately drop 20* tho. save your money and drop a cooler in there. i didnt have a mostrous tru cool max, just a b&m supercooler 10x11 inch. my tranny temps, in 90 deg ambient temps, was never above 185*. if i towed (over OE ratings with the blower) it never even made it to 220*. i dont even wanna know how low they woulda been with the tru max lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 From what I've seen they do work, but I don't feel that they are worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Steve(mr p) has a post about a larger GM pan that might be cheaper. I thought those are more prone to leak/crack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBlueSS Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Those have been around for years. I don't see how they would be any better than a finned aluminum pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I was thinking. Seems more prone to leaking/cracks. I think I might just do the C5 pan when I install the shift kit/servos/accumulators, etc in 2 weeks. I think I'll hold off on the TBTC for a PI and when I install that this summer I will install a Tru-Cool. My trans temps should be fine with just the shift kit/servos/accumulators right?

With the TBTC you will jump about 10-15 degrees or so, which should be fine if you don't tow. It's soooooooooooo easy to install a larger cooler on these trucks though since they came with one stock, so just throw one in before the hot summer hits and you'll be fine.
