Yes, I have it installed
Unless they have changed something, you must use the gasket that comes with their pan as the factory gasket won’t work. The shape of one of the corners is different on the OEM Jeep gasket that has the metal backing. It’s been a while since I did it so some of the details are fuzzy.
The worst part is the refill procedure on ZF transmissions. Ass end has to be jacked up and the fluid has to be at operating temp to ensure properly filled.
For our Jeeps, you have to disconnect front driveshaft or use Tazer to force 2WD.

As another note, I have Rusty’s skid plates and there’s no interference.
Any reduction in trans temp? Does it hold another quart of fluid?

Holds two extra quarts. I tow a bit and the trans does run cooler. I also have a 180 t stat and fans set at 185 though.
Run the bypass valve and I bet it runs even cooler
REVMAX for your tranny!
I’ve had this installed for quite awhile now and recently had a few people ask about it so I figured I’d actually collect some data and give it its own thread. https://revmaxconverters.com/transmission-type/8hp95/ Like pretty much every modern automatic, the 8HP95 transmission has what is...

What part number pan are you using? I don't see one listed for the 392.

Yes. I’ll look it up again but I’m pretty sure it’s the same one.
It doesn’t look like this box pictured. It looks almost like the factory one just without the thermostat inside. You can call them to confirm since it just shows up to 2020. PPE makes them as well.

Thanks, that's interesting because PPE told me to use the Jeep gasket. I will have to revisit that with them.

That’s incorrect based on my experience. You’ll find out pretty quick either way if you get one.
Edit: if they don’t include a gasket for some reason, can get one for a Charger/Challenger/Ram with an 8HP.

Thanks, that's exactly why I'm asking the question. Would hate to get this apart and learn on the fly.
Be careful with the removal of the factory one, you’ll need to reuse the O-rings or match them up and replace them.
Good tip.

And those O-rings are from?
They seal the lines inside of the bypass. If they get damaged it’ll leak
