I got this in my email too

If anyone can give me a part # I want to order one. Their site to me was inconclusive on which one we need. It looks like the pre 94s and our 04s use the same one, but I thought that to be a little odd. I emailed them about it but have not heard back yet.

Part # for pre 94 and 02 up is F104. There is a footnote that says that an adapter is available for F104 and others for $6 but it does not say for which applications it is needed. I called their phone # and a recorded message says that they are only open 1 to 6 PM Pacific time. Number is 866-822-5689 if you are interested.

Just talked to them on the phone and the part # for 02, 03, 04. and 05 is F104. The adapter is not needed for the Cummins application.

Alright guys, here is what RickE is talking about. The Fumoto plug looks like this:



The drain plug threads in the oil pan look like this:



So where the baffle is, the oil will not drain, however if you modify the Fumoto drain plug the way I did, like this:



You will not have a oil draining problem. They work great. And no oil running down your hands and arms!

Now you will hear from others that it hang down too far about 7/8". Well if you are a serious 4 Wheeler, this may be something to consider, however for myself on highway, city streets, gravel roads and logging roads there is nothing to worry about. It is also protected by your front axle, if you have FWD.
