Does anyone have one of these for their 5600? Are they worth it? Planning on changing my fluid soon and wondered if I should go ahead and order one of these. I'm also planning on drilling a hole in the bottom of the case, tapping it, and putting in a magnetic drain plug. Any thoughts on that? I've seen it done on a guys truck over on TDR. I'm gonna get 6 qts. of Redline MTL for it this time, wasn't real impressed with the Royal Purple stuff I have in it now.

 

I've been thinking about gluing a magnet onto the PTO plate to catch filings.

 

I thought of that too, but I'd also like something to catch any material that wears off of the syncros. I might just put a magnet on the other pto cover while I have the oil drained out of her though.

 

When I changed my fluid to the RP there was a square shaped magnet sitting in the bottom of the case. It was about 1"x1" and maybe an 1/8th" thick.
I took it out, cleaned it off, and put it back in assuming that it was a factory piece.

 

Yep its factory.... Should be cleaned at each fluid change.
