While you're adding mods to your truck, put a Mag-hytech DD trans pan on it. It has a drain plug.

I put one in when I did a fluid change at 30K. I haven't serviced the trans again since then, but when I do, I'm counting on there being a minimal mess to clean.

I put one of those B&M Uni Drain plugs in many many winters ago. Works just fine. Take note though, you have to watch where you located it.

I put one in last weekend... (B&M) ... taking the pan out wasn't too bad... I just laid down a bunch of cardboard, and my drain pan is pretty big... next time should be nice and neat..

You can also get the no-name brand drain plug and save yourself 10 bucks which is just as good as the b&m.
