Re: Deep Tranny Pan
The Derale is popular but can make accessing the rear pan bolts a bitch since the cooling tubes butt up right near the crossmember. Made my life REAL difficult. (Even after I cut the tubes shorter).
Some alternatives to the $130+ TCI cast aluminum option are the GM Hummer H2 deep pan, I think that's it. If you search around you can find GM has offered some factory deep pans, some with drain plug. But it will take a bit of searching and/or a friendly parts counter.
