Any one else installed a drain plug for the automatic transmission pan ?
Just realized my truck did not have one sooo,,, I drilled off to the side of the elevated pan magnet and welded in a backing nut. The pan is galvanized so if any one is going to do this take precautions for breathing. I also had to file the area by hand with a fine flat file to get a nice smooth surface for the gasket.
Really quite easy, Not sure Why Ford thought it would be a good idea to leave it out though.
Bought the truck with 204,000 mi and the trans had been changed, Does this tranny give a lot of issues ?
