1) Initial Preparation

Raise the truck on a lift to provide ample access to the oil pan and the area you will be working with.

If using a lift, a support stand is also recommended.

Bring a large drain pan over to the transmission to catch the fluid.


2) Remove Transmission Pan

In no particular order, remove the 16 10mm bolts that hold the transmission pan.

Be sure to support the pan as you remove the bolts to ease the removal and tilt the pan as you remove it to drain.

Carefully lower the pan from the truck.

Drain any remaining fluid into the drain pan.


(Optional) Replace Transmission Filters

Removal

If you are replacing the filters in the pan, you can remove them now. Otherwise, you may skip these steps.

Note: There is still some fluid in the transmission pickup tube.
Links are provided at the top of this manual.

With an 8mm socket, remove the two bolts that hold the transmission filter on.

Note: There is still some fluid in the transmission pickup tube.

Spin the internal filter counterclockwise to remove it.

There will still be some fluid left in the filter after removal.

Installation

Locate the round filter seal used for the in-pan filter; it will be removed and replaced with a new one with your filter kit.

With a XXmm socket and a hammer, tap the new seal into place.

Bring the new in-pan filter up into place.

Secure it with the T25 torx screw removed previously.

Add some transmission fluid to the screw on filters gasket.

Thread the screw-in type filter.


3) Ram-Air Transmission Pan Prep

Thread in and snug the 1/8″ NPT plug or if you have an auxiliary temperature sensor, you may thread this in now instead.

Thread in and snug the magnetic drain bolt.


4) Transmission Pan Installation

Bring the Ram-Air Transmission Pan up to the transmission.

If you purchased a new gasket, install it with the pan. Otherwise, clean the existing gasket and re-use.

Snug down the 15 bolts that hold the transmission pan.

Tighten each transmission bolt to 105 inch-pounds.(About 9 ft-lbs)

Pair the 4 screws for the Ram-Air Scoop with their spacers.

By hand, attach the Ram-Air scoop to the pan with the 4 bolts and spacers

To reach the bolt on the passenger side, the hard lines next to the transmission have to be temporarily moved.

With a 13mm socket, remove the bolt that holds the hard lines to the bracket.

Hold onto this bolt, it will be reused.

Thread in the passenger side bolt and spacer by hand, then snug it down.

Replace the bolt that holds the hard lines to the support bracket when finished.

Snug down the remaining 10mm bolts.


5) Fluid Level Check

Top the transmission off with 12 quarts of ATF.

With your foot firmly on the brake pedal and the engine running, shift the transmission from Park through Drive, stopping at each position for at least 3 seconds. This will help ensure the ATF reaches all the gears and oil passages.

Bring the transmission temp up to 170°F before checking the fluid level.

It is best to drive the truck around the block for this step. Once you’ve hit 170°F, re-check the transmission fluid level while the engine is running.

Add any additional fluid if needed to reach the correct fill level.
