Deep cast aluminum pan for the GM 6L80 with filter, gasket, bolts and magnetic drain plug. Adds fluid capacity and lets you drain without dropping the pan.
Owners who tow with a Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500, Tahoe, Yukon or Escalade usually come looking for a deep 6L80 pan for one of two reasons: the transmission temperature climbs on long grades, or they are done draining a full pan of Dexron VI down their sleeve at every service. This kit answers both. The cast aluminum pan is deeper than the factory part, carries extra fluid, has cooling fins on the outside and a magnetic drain plug in the bottom. It ships with a new filter and neck seal, a rubber-coated metal-core gasket, a full set of pan bolts, a gasket scraper and gloves, and it replaces the stock pan sold as 265-582 and GM 24222657.
The 6L80 has no separate fluid reservoir; the pan is it. The pump draws from the pan through a filter pressed into a bore in the case, feeds the valve body and torque converter, and the fluid that comes back from the cooler drains down into the pan again. Every extra quart in the pan is fluid that is resting and shedding heat instead of being worked, and the fins add surface area for air moving under the truck to pull heat out of the aluminum. That matters on this unit because worn-out fluid is a known cause of 6L80 problems: GM bulletin 20-NA-142 traces shudder and surging to depleted fluid additives, and heat is what uses those additives up. A deeper pan does not replace a good cooler, but it buys margin.
Pull a fluid sample from the fill-check plug and look at color and smell, then read the transmission temperature on a scan tool during a normal tow. If the fluid is merely old and the shifts are clean, this pan and a fresh fill are the right move. If you have codes P0716, P0717 or P0751, the problem is in the TEHCM or valve body and a pan will not fix it. Our 6L80 transmission service guide walks through the hot fluid check and what the magnet tells you, and the 6L80 common problems guide separates fluid issues from hard failures.
The listing covers the 6L80 in the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Tahoe and Suburban (2009-2019), GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Yukon XL (2007-2019), Cadillac Escalade (2007-2015) and Camaro (2010-2015). The heavier-duty 6L90 used in 2500 and 3500 trucks takes a different pan, so confirm your transmission before ordering: the RPO code on the glovebox or door label reads MYC for a 6L80 and MYD for a 6L90. Because this pan hangs lower than stock, check the space around the exhaust crossover and crossmember on lowered trucks and Camaros. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Every part we carry for this transmission is on the 6L80 parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Only if it has a 6L80. Most 2500 and 3500 GM trucks of this era use the 6L90 (RPO MYD), which takes a different pan. Check the RPO code on the glovebox or door label for MYC before ordering.
GM lists about 5.7 L (6.0 qt) of Dexron VI for a stock 6L80 pan and filter service. The deep pan holds more than that, so have extra fluid on hand and fill to the check plug at operating temperature instead of counting quarts.
Yes. The kit includes a 24236517-style filter with its neck seal, plus the gasket, pan bolts, magnetic drain plug, a scraper and gloves. Make sure the old seal is out of the case bore before installing the new filter.
It adds fluid capacity and fin area, which lowers temperatures and slows fluid breakdown, but it will not fix a clogged cooler or a stuck thermal bypass valve. Use it alongside a healthy cooling system.
It sits lower than the factory pan. On stock-height trucks and SUVs that is rarely an issue, but check clearance on lowered trucks and Camaros before you install.
