What is everyone's opinion on the Double Deep pan Vs'. the Single Deep pan?

The Double Deep is 5-7/8" tall, holds 4 extra quarts of ATF4+ (AKA Liquid GOLD...) and comes with a filter relocation to bottom of pan. It would hang down approx as low as the oil pan on the engine.

Single Deep holds 1.5 extra quarts and is 3-7/8" tall no filter relocation to bottom of pan

This is going on the truck in my sig, and either way, I can build a skid plate for either of them to protect them.

I think I'm leaning toward the Double Deep here...

What are your thoughts?

 

duoble deep,more fluid better cooling.

Also due to teh filter relocate if you develop a small leak (say on a long road trip) you will have more time till the fluid reaches a low enough level to cause damage, Giving you more time to catch the problem.

 

ooooh! Good thinking, Bobby!!

Anyone else have something to add?

 

How heavy and how often do you tow?

 

double deep...my reasoning, bigger is better

 

Usually whenever the truck gets driven, I'm towing anywhere between 2K for the empty trailer to 10K...

Recently, I've started driving it pretty hard when I'm not towing... And sometimes when I am towing...

I feel like I'm confessing here...


It goes to the drag strip empty, and to the dyno whenever an event comes up. I drive it without towing, but sometimes it's still loaded..

stkdram55, I tend to think that way, too.

I just was wondering if the pan hanging down that low was a problem for you guys, I guess...

 

I would say as long as your not rock crawling with it you wont have a problem with the low pan.

 

OK!

Double deep it is!!

Where's Tony....

 

I had the double deep on my 06. It doesn't hang below the skid plate that is just in front of it if I remember correctly. I remember thinking I didn't have to worry about it being to low anyways. Double deep all the way.
