Transmission pan replacement

[Tony Jimenez]

I have a 2018 1500 eco diesel. While towing my 22' travel trailer I noticed my trans temp climbing over 205 deg. I believe that's not good for it. So I was thinking about installing a cast aluminum pan with a two qt. bigger capacity to help keep the temp down. Has anyone had a problem or experience with this?

I noticed empty mine averages 195-200 empty 175 pulling my trailer

It likely quits heating the trans oil when it's being worked by towing
