I have about 56,000 on my truck. Some of these miles are with towing and some at higher speed, 75+. I know the stock pan has a filter built in but is there a pan made that has a seperate filter, so it can be changed without a new pan? If you know which pan it is, please provide part number. Also, if you have changed the pan and fluid yourself, was it difficult? Getting a little old but can still change the oil when I want to. Thanks.

Ive serviced my Durango with 8HP70 several times. The only trans pan with a separate filter Im aware of are a Dorman (265850) and a Autotecnica brand. After seeing the Dorman in person and knowing the reputation of the parts they make, I wasnt putting that in my vehicle. I bit the bullet and got a real Mopar pan online. After changing the pan with filter at 50k, I decided to just do drain and fills every 25k until I reach 100k. Its an easy job overall. Id recommend finding the process on youtube before you start the job just to familiarize yourself.
