What brands are deep and good for the 4x4 world? Cast Alum. or steel? Need it with a bung for temp sendor, and a drain plug.
I heard the alum crack true or not?

 

[Evildriver-3]

Well alum gives off heat, the temp sensor can go in the trans line in fact they sell them for putting them in the lone, i use alum pans, i have never seen any trans pan with a bung for a temp sensor, see summit for trans pans or A&A trans, in the open board there is a post on trans pans do a search

You can take a pan from a 518 and get a couple extra quarts with that I think.

a 518 wont fit on a 727. they are shapped different i do believe.

whatever you do, don't buy a tci aluminum pan. I did, and the only way you can install it is with a thin wall 1/4 drive deep well. Their quailty is not good, and the bolt holes are too close the the side of the pan.

it does work good, but it is a pain in the butt to remove and install. It had a drainplug, and the wallls are thick enough to put a temp sensor in if ya wanted to.

Guys, he has a '92, so I assume that he has a 518 already.

I got me a Deep Chrome pan off ebay for 25$ shipped, I wasnt too fond of the chrome, more just the deep part, but its got a drain plug, and its pretty sturdy feeling and ya im thinking the temp sensor should me somewhere else besides mounted thru the side of the pan

These don't have a temp sensor port, but they do have the boss cast inplace, all you have to do is drill and tap it.

My standard 3/8" drive Craftsman sockets worked fine on my TCI pan. A standard 1/2" drive deep socket fits the drain plug just fine too. No complaints at all on mine. Maybe they've improved their pans, or the QC bounces around.

Duane, by shape if you are refering to the bolt pattern, that is wrong, the pan bolt pattern has not changed since 727 introduction in 1962. 518 pan is deeper than 727 to accomodate the lower valve body but it will bolt on the 62 727 tranny.

hmm, well when i buy a tranny gasket for my truck, i get 2 different gaskets in the pack, one for the 727 and one for the a518 (according to the guy at the parts house), and they are shaped different from each other. ive never had a 727 pan beside an a518 pan though.

I don't know, but i have heard others on here had the same problem with TCI

 

[AZ-Trailduster]

i have a hughes performance deep aluminum pan, i like it

 

[Charger92]

Yes I have the A-518 tranny. The A-518 is also called a 46RH.
So does that mean I have a deep pan already?
I take it the Aluminum pans are OK on 4x4's, plenty strong? The link on yourcovers looks promising.
What about B&M pans?
Can the Hughes be drilled?
I heard good and bad on TCI around home town to.
Thanks all.

Yes you already have a deep pan, in fact it is deeper then any deep pan on the market. DO NOT purchase a deep pan for a 727 or you will crush your filter. So be happy with what you have and install the temp sensor in the line.

 

[dodgecharger]

The other gasket you get in your filter kit is for a 904.

 

[CLRracer]

shows how much the guy at the parts house knows

Yea, every filter kit I bought, even from autozone, came with a gasket for a 904 and a 727. Might want to find a different parts house....
