aFe Ford 2011-2021 6R140 Transmission Pan - Black

Transmission-specific fluid service

The aFe 46-70182 transmission pan is for the specified 6R140 automatic transmission in the supported 2011-2021 Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty; actual gearbox identification required application. Durable A380 cast aluminum with reinforcing ribs, internal/external cooling fins and black powder-coating with machined fins. The manufacturer states three quarts of added capacity and no modification to the factory dipstick.

Key Features

• Durable A380 cast aluminum with reinforcing ribs, internal/external cooling fins and black powder-coating with machined fins. The manufacturer states three quarts of added capacity and no modification to the factory dipstick.
• Match the actual transmission case, pan pattern, fluid and hardware.
• Set transmission fluid level using the correct Ford procedure and dipstick.
• Manufacturer states this transmission pan does not require a CARB EO number.

Fitment

46-70182: The current exact manufacturer listing and full manual cover 2011-2021 F-250/F-350 Super Duty equipped with 6R140. Both original F-350 bounds remain; the shorter F-250 range is restored through 2021 from this exact primary manual. These model years are conditional on the actual transmission and do not approve every 6.7L diesel, gasoline engine, or later ten-speed configuration. Earlier titles limited the pan to a 6.7L diesel and 2014; identify the actual gearbox rather than treating engine or year alone as approval. No invented engine/transmission trim or 2022-plus extension is added.

Specifications

What's Included

• One black pan 05-60342, nineteen M6 x 1.0 x 30 mounting screws, nineteen M6 washers, one 3/4-14 NPTF magnetic drain plug, the small sensor-port plug, one M6 x 1.0 x 8 magnet-retaining screw and one fender washer. The other finish in the shared table is an alternative, not a second pan. No new original-style pan magnet, gasket, filter, coupler, sensor or fluid is established as included.
• One 3/4-14 NPTF magnetic drain plug accepts a 1/2-inch square drive. The optional temperature-sensor port uses a 1/8-inch NPT plug when no sensor is installed. The parts table prints '1.8-inch' and the sealing step mentions '1/4-inch', conflicting with the current primary's 1/8-inch port, actual step 9 and the listed plug identity. Verify boxed threads; those typos are not approval to force a 1/4-inch fitting into the port. No temperature sensor or heater is supplied.

Durable A380 cast aluminum with reinforcing ribs, internal/external cooling fins and black powder-coating with machined fins.

One black pan 05-60342, nineteen M6 x 1.0 x 30 mounting screws, nineteen M6 washers, one 3/4-14 NPTF magnetic drain plug, the small sensor-port plug, one M6 x 1.0 x 8 magnet-retaining screw and one fender washer. The other finish in the shared table is an alternative, not a second pan. No new original-style pan magnet, gasket, filter, coupler, sensor or fluid is established as included.

Use the correct original factory gasket after inspection, aligned to the new pan. No RTV, new gasket or numerical sealant-cure interval is supplied or directed by this exact manual; do not borrow an RTV procedure from a Ram pan.

The current listing states three additional quarts over stock, not a universal total fill or a direction to add three quarts blindly after every service. Use the Ford-recommended Mercon LV named in the manual and the actual owner's-manual dipstick procedure. Transmission fluid expands; perform the final level check at operating temperature. Begin removal with the vehicle cooled, not with a hot engine.

The full exact manual gives no numerical pan-mounting, magnet-retainer or pipe-plug torque and no NPT turn count. It directs carefully tightening the small magnet-retaining screw with a drop of thread locker and installing the supplied mounting screws and sealed plugs with the listed tools. Use the applicable Ford and boxed instructions; do not borrow 8 or 12-16 ft-lb from another transmission pan.

Transfer the original magnet from the factory Ford pan and retain it with the supplied M6 x 1.0 x 8 screw and fender washer, using a drop of thread locker as directed. This transferred magnet is separate from the supplied magnetic drain plug. Remove the old filter with its rubber seal and install a correct separately supplied filter; replacement is recommended but no filter is established in the actual bill of materials.

One 3/4-14 NPTF magnetic drain plug accepts a 1/2-inch square drive. The optional temperature-sensor port uses a 1/8-inch NPT plug when no sensor is installed.

Verify boxed threads; those typos are not approval to force a 1/4-inch fitting into the port. No temperature sensor or heater is supplied. Park on a flat dry surface, engage the parking brake, cool the vehicle and support it safely. Drain the original pan and remove its nineteen bolts. Remove the stock filter, ensuring the rubber seal comes with it, and clean residual fluid with a lint-free rag. Transfer the original pan magnet with the separate short screw, fender washer and thread locker. Seal and install the magnetic drain and optional sensor-port plug after verifying actual thread sizes. Refit the filter, reuse the factory gasket and secure the pan with nineteen supplied M6 x 30 screws and washers. Refill with Ford-recommended Mercon LV and follow the actual Ford operating-temperature dipstick procedure; inspect for leaks. No numerical torque, cure interval, total fill or fifty-mile recheck is borrowed from another pan.
