That the 99 4X4 ? Be sure you are getting the correct filter for a 4X4 they have a deeper pan, and take more oil 16 Qts. Are you draining the TC also ? If you do there is a certain procedure to refill the TC. Put in 6 Qts. run motor for one minute put in 4 Qts. run motor for one minute then check level with the motor running, add fluid as needed. The TC holds 2 Qts. fluid. To drain the TC, rotate until the plug is on the bottom.

NOTE... Most Fords (not all), have the drain in the TC.
Any trans. built before August 2001 has the TC plug drain.

Or if it has been rebuilt and the converter didnt come with a drain plug. I have seen several like this, mine included. I wish I had known it when I ordered the converter I would have had them put one in when they built it.

Couldn't you just add one?

I thought about it but didnt want to risk getting metal shavings in the converter.

Depends. A stocker you can. Aftermarket multi disk you cant.

Would these not already have one? Or could you ask for one?

Not on the multi disk. The drain plug would be stuck in the lock up clutch. So they eliminated it.
I prefer a drain plug but for a bigger lock up clutch I can suffer.
