Can you explain a little bit more what this part does?

Improves the torque handling ability by strengthening the transmission case. These transmissions are known stock to have problems with the torque loading between the main shaft and secondary shaft. Stock - as torque is applied the case flexes and spreads the 2 shafts apart - moving the torque carrying to the weaker part of the gear teeth, then they break. These rigid pans and gasketing method stiffen the assembly. Several people are running 400+ hp and 400+ ft/lbs torque through these now with the TuffPan without problems.

I don't recommend banging your transmission on rocks. Thats what frame skid plates are for

The concept is actually quite interesting. I never would have thought of it in terms of distortion of a transfer case vs torque.

Cool idea !!

Now , got any other cool ideas on how I'm going to achieve 400 ft/lbs of torque with an 87 hp motor ?

Swap to 2.6l Gasoline, add MPI, big turbo, lots of boost. Very possible

I assume you have a 4D55? Should be able to get to +100 ft/lbs at the wheels with modifications...

Most are diesels with the 4D56 (2.5L vs 2.3L for the 4D55) turbo non intercooler.

Bump for April. My machinist delivered a bunch of Tuffpans this weekend. I'm well stocked. Please take some off my hands
