Though they don't want to admit it, they are having problems with their castings for these pans. I have been in the metal business for 20 years (sheet fab, welding, foundry, machining, etc.) And upon first inspection I was concerned about the porosity of this casting. Sure enough, after careful installation I discovered a hairline crack in the pan. This being said I must say the way the problem is being handled by them is a much more severe problem. Just thought you all should know.

 

saleensc,

I'm not familiar with the "MAC Pan". Which one is it and who offers it?

I'm interested in knowing since I'm in the mkt. for a trans./diff. finned aluminum setup.

Thanks,

Ronald

 

MAC has never been regarded as a top-level producer of quality products. This is unfortunate because it leaves many with sub-par products on their cars. Due to the "generic" nature of MAC's "made in taiwan" products, I would give up on customer service, and just go buy a moroso transmission pan.

 

oops.

 

They are offered by several venders. RPM outlet being one. At first I thought I had fell victim to another RPM horror story but upon contacting MAC in person, it was indeed them who was to blame. Businesses can only be as good as their suppliers. I do not recommend you purchase this inferior product. Buy the Motorsports or Moroso pan and do yourself a favor.

 

saleensc, since you know metalwrok, you can really appreciate these welds on an aluminum pan.

 

by trade i too am a welder. ive done all sorts of welding, tig,stick,mig,acetylene. and i have to say every mac product i have seen installed or used has been crap. just bad fitment and quality imo

 

Yes the Moroso pan is a beautiful part. I highly suggest thjis as an alternitive. (That's what i ordered today.)

 

i installed the moroso pan last weekend along with the ftvb, it feels like a whole new truck now!
