Does anyone have or knows where to get pan and cover for the tranny and diff that incorporates a drain? Even chrome perhaps?

Todd Z has an aftermarket deep sump pan. I think from PML industries. Has drain plug and extra capacity.

Gen 2 covers are finned aluminum with a drain plug. If you can find a junkyard that will part with a Gen 2 Sport Trac/Gen 3 Explorer rear diff cover off the IRS axle (like maybe if the axle was damaged), you can cut or grind off the mounting ears because they are not needed on a Gen 1 Trac, and it will bolt right up. Otherwise Summit or Jeg's or whoever will have aftermarket 8.8" covers with a drain plug.

Does this mean that any 8.8" diff cover for a ford will fit?
My ST is a 2004 XLS 2wd. 10 bolt pattern for cover.

EddieS'04,
Do you know if the PML trans pan will clear the exhaust manifold and cross-member on an 04 ST? Mine has the RT single cat on it.
I read somewhere you need to make sure it clears, I don't know if it was the PML though!

Has anyone purchased an RPC Transmission Pan from JC Whitney for their ST? They show two different ones on their website, one is steel chromed #10995G, the other is cast aluminum #10989G.
According to the photos provided, I would say they don't fit the ST transmission at all! According to RPC's website, there's no pan for an ST.
I've tried e-mailing RPC but no response.nline:

Our Trannys are the 5R55E model. Search for that. I think the 4R is the same case, only a 4 speed, though.

Hi EddieS'04,
I tried searching 5R55E with not much success. Everything comes back as the aluminum pan that ToddZ has. This one is quite pricy and I don't need the extra fluid capability, don't do any towing or anything like that. I've also read that the deeper pan may not fit some applications because of the cross-beam and exhaust manifold.
I'll have another look at my ST and see if it resembles the 4R you mention. The pans that RPC have would be just what I'm looking for. Chromed with a plug incorporated. But no telephone contact to talk to a real human being on the other end if you know what I mean!:banghead:

As far as I know. I've seen some super-deep off-roading steel covers for Rangers that probably wouldn't clear the ST's rear swaybar but a normal 8.8" cover will fit.
