Hock's 2012 Raptor Build

What brand is that pan? Does it say RA or BA? Are you doing any "shift kit" or anything while you're in there?

can you reuse the gasket (I'm assuming not). What added value is this? More fluid so the trans runs cooler longer?

Thanks as always Hock.

I ordered the one SDHQ has on their site... No changes in the trans for now... Its says RA I think

Yes resuable gasket... ITs 98% aluminum with a raised silicone seal... Value addition is just more oil and I use 100% synthetic redline ATF which I like... Yes, longer to get to running temps. I have plans for a cooler just havent decided where to install or what one I want to run...

So being the cheap ass I am right now since I am waiting for this buyout offer Ford is making to decide what I am going to do. I have had this bed cover in storage for 2 years. Was my dads and I sold the truck and kept the cover. It was for a 8ft bed and wouldnt work on mine so, I ripped apart cut down the rails to fit, slid in a thin piece of 1/2 wide aluminum in the part where the cover slides into, took a 3/4 wide piece of aluminum drilled some holes in it, tucked the vinyl under and attached. I plan on making a 3/4 cover with another piece of aluminum and gluing vinyl over it so ya cant see the aluminum... But this works for now to keep the shit out of the bed...

Performance automatic manufactures the pan so it should say PA.. their is not a "shift kit" available for the Raptor trans, it is fully controlled by the computer so the shift pressures and shift points are all controlled by the tuner.
