The dealer sales the trans pan drain bolt. When I did mine on my old truck I just snugged the new one up and never had an issue after that.

I hate to say this, but the bolt and plastic washer will probably leak...

I can get a different drain plug sunday when i go to work, i just wanted something with magnet and a taller head on it, majority of the problem with the factory plug is that if the socket has a bevel to it it will slip and therefore round the head off...

Took sometime today and switched gears a bit with my truck and addressed some steering issues...... Flipped my sway bar and realized i need 3 tie rods, time for a set of hd like the rareparts rp28732 or the cognitos.... Gonna see which is less expensive....






Possibly reason i need tie rods, maybe???
