What do you do for an extension pickup when you change tranny fluid and filter? Do they sell them separate or do you clean the RTV off the one you get with the pan?

That's a good question. I just received mine and sent a dealer that I've been going to for warranty items an email and here's the response I got(i actually referred to oil and trans pans cause I have both but I think they just forgot to include the trans):

Dealer quote:
"It won’t void your warranty to install those aftermarket oil pans but what you’ll want to make sure of is that your maintenance records clearly show the amount of oil put in after a service so that if you run into a warranty issue it can be verified the proper amount was used. "

So my next question was if I do this myself and keep the oil receipts will this be ok?Waiting for answer.

Or does one have to install it,fill it with oil, then goto a shop and have the oil changed and receipt showing the official quantity?

Do you think this will work with LubeLockers?

you would just removed the pick-up extension and reuse it. really, not a big deal.

i would think you could just tell them to fill the tranny until it's at the level shown on dip stick. i mean, any shop should know enough to check the dipstick before letting you drive off or, so i would think anyway.

if they make a lubelocker for the tranny, i see no reason why it wouldn't work but personally, i think a good rtv is a better option.

Sorry to revive this but I am looking for an update to this thread.... How is the deep sump pan working out? Any issues leaks or breaks in RTV seals etc???

Considering this as an option to the most recent recall that requires a new trans skid bar and not plate... Buddy got the bar on his 2011 and already dented his pan due to lack of coverage. Let me know what your experiences have been. Thanks,

Nick

I'm running it but fear at my 5 year drivetrain inspection it could cause me to fail and void my lifetime powertrain warranty so might go back to stock. It does leak and was a PITA to install but does take a hit I've got several good marks to prove it. In retrospect I wish I would have bought some good skid protection instead.
