Aftermarket Pans?

[doo2002]

Was scouring the forums today and came across some old posts about aftermarket oil and rear diff pans. Upon further research, it appears that there is an aftermarket pan for every pan on the truck!

However, this brings up a couple questions, is it worth replacing the oil, transmissions, both diff pans? Whats the benefit?

I have a 2013 F250 Diesel that is bone stock and will be for the next few years due to the warranty I got on it. (plan on a lift kit and some minor performance upgrades down the road). It is a daily driver and doesn't see much off-road currently as well. Is it worth it for me to upgrade any of these pans?

99% just for looks. 1% is the added cooling factor due to the fins. Not necessary.

Thats the perception I got. It might be something worth looking into down the road, but not priority.

I want to add a rear diff cover for ease of draining. Drain it every 10k.

Now that is a decent thought!

Your numbers are slightly off for the transmission pan. The correct numbers are 100% for the looks. There is NO added cooling from any aftermarket transmission pan. There is some cooling benefit for the axle pan.

I do it every 15-20k I want to start every 10k. These rear ends take abuse.

I will use LE and might move it up to 30k.

You might need some traction bars lol. My rear diff is still tight at 95k.

I just ordered a set of bearings to redo my rear diff, to say it has some slop is putting it nicely. 2nd one I've ever had to do, because of wear. 292k now on the girl.

Yup, well with a 2nd motor. Gotcha. Did a four link in the back of mine and that helped reduce that issue.
