    Are aftermarket transmission pans worth it?

    IMO, do the superior shift solutions cooler mod and leave it at that. the dealer would have to pull the cooler fitting apart to find it and it will help extend the life of the transmission. after warranty, definitely go with a deep cast aluminum pan. not only do they offer more fluid capacity...

    Fram Titanium FS10575 C&P

    exactly my point. these trucks get cold started and immediately driven hard. i just don’t see the point in paying a premium for a “premium” filter that is no much more than a TG with extra pleats.

    Fram Titanium FS10575 C&P

    i don’t need proof. i can run a premium guard and not have to worry about pleats coming out wavy or tearing. trucks on HPL EC will get carquest premiums and trucks on HPL PCEO get Endurances. no reason to run another new style titanium/ultra. i’m a fram user and i love the OG filters/endurance...

    Fram Titanium FS10575 C&P

    i understand that wavy doesn’t hurt. what i dont need is a filter tearing in service. notice i dont run any other filters known for waviness?

    Fram Titanium FS10575 C&P

    i won’t purchase another one. i try my best to keep gloves on when dealing with oil but sometimes they rip or get in the way and stuff has to get done.

    Current STP filters for older Chevy V8 (5.7) Feedback?

    if you can run a FL1a sized filter, go look through the stock of titanium FS8A's at AAP's around you. shine a flashlight down the center tube and check for wire mesh through the holes. if you don't want to do that, i would go get a Fram Endurance FE8A. best efficiency available atm and it has...
