Oil system myths
I have only seen a few for sale, and someone was quicker hitting the buy it now button than me....
Was it you?!!! Dagnabbit!
LOL...IDK it’s been awhile since I’ve found one. Seems like it was at least 5 years ago.
‘In fact, I called and had a LOOOOOOOONG discussion with Milodon about building that pan and pickup again and after about 35 minutes of back and fourth, they said they can’t sell them!
Mil: they just won’t sell.
Me: why not.
Mil: a bunch of rabble that made no sense.
Me: what you said makes NO SENSE. Why won’t it sell?????
Mil: because no one want to put the center link through the pan, and because it’s too low! Chrysler people just will not deal with the centerline through the pan, no matter how much we can show the pan ales more power and has the best oil control of ANY other stock chassis pan out there. It used to be serious street guys could see the benefit to it, but that’s no longer the case today. You can’t explain oil control to most guys today. To them, a pan is a pan, and the least amount of effort to put the engine in the chassis outweighs durability and horsepower.
Me: well that sucks.
Mil: it’s the reality with Chrysler consumers today. And, even though that pan is not any lower than any other comparable pan, it’s rear sump makes it less susceptible to dragging the ground, unless the car is running 22 inch tall front tires or the car is dragging the chassis.
Me: I was born into the wrong generation.
That’s a quick paraphrase of the end of that conversation. Like many things, Chrylser guys just will not get out of their comfort zone. They use whatever the mass claims they use, or whatever is the easiest to install, falling back into the 1980’s and even earlier technology because that is the least path of resistance.
