re: trans pan drain kit.
i want to put a drain plug in the trans pan. i read someone complained cause the pan wasn't quite flat? has anyone ever welded a nut to the inside of pan, and used a bolt with a rubber washer, like your oil pan? i would think the welded nut, would eliminate any leaking problem if the pan isn't exactly flat. anyone with info regarding this?

pdogg- where did you put the drain plug? any pics? I would like to drill a 1/4" hole to drain the fluid before i drop the pan, but i am nervous about the hole being in the wrong spot, incase the drain plug interferes with filter etc.

I put it in the rear, passenger side of the pan.. no pics, sorry.. if I remember correctly, filter is kind of in the middle... plus you have plenty of clearance I think... this drain plug only has maybe 3/8" protrusion into the pan. What I've heard is you want to stay clear of the valve body..
it's the B&M drain plug...

I have installed a B&M plug in one of these trucks before and I just ordered one for my current truck. The only thing you really need to be careful of is to put it in a position where there is no obstruction so you can get the pan back on without hitting anything. Works just fine though........
