That was the second most important lessonI didn’t know if you were still on the forum or not. @Arizona LJ took some incredible photos yesterday that I need to downsize to post. He also did this. Luckily it was a very slow leak.

That is more than a little confusing.
Plug on front?
No, that is likely the Dorman pan. The confusing part is why no engine skid on a rock trail with a longer wheelbase rig?
We all make mistakes. Some of us more than others lol. I’ll be getting one here shortly.
Put a temperature gauge sender in the pan when you replace it. Some things are good to know.
Good idea. Do you prefer the sender in the pan vs in line on the hot side to the cooler?
I am somewhat familiar with how to converse in the commonly accepted language on here and I also tend to be less than ambiguous.
Putting the sender on the hot side to the cooler is the equivalent of putting a temp sender in the cylinder head to read the flame front temp when the air/fuel mixture detonates and then using that number to try and extrapolate the engine running temp from that. You want to know the operating temp of the engine and you want to know the operating temp of the trans.
The torque converter is trying to shear the trans fluid. The absolute hottest the fluid will be is right after it exits the converter on the way to the cooler. It is cooling down on the way to the cooler from the work it has just done. That information is fully useless. What isn't useless is how hot your transmission is running.
@starkey480 Completely off topic to your wheeling photos, looks amazing btw, if I ever end up in Arizona we gotta do something sometime, How did you get the Flak Jacket to sit flush with the jeep logo under it? I thought the companies were cutting it out so that it would fit?
