Re: oil drain plug
I dont know about the truck but i had a crack in the oil pan at the drain hole on my bike. Got that fixed and the drip went away. On the truck though I use an aluminum or plastic one, either has worked fine. Some of my buddies like the copper...

Re: oil drain plug
Oh by the by, with that crack in the bike pan, the tighter the more it leaked. Good luck......

I had another one that was cross threaded and that one never stopped leaking until I got a drill and drilled it out and rethreaded it to a larger size... I tried the fix it kit with a self threading bolt but that didn't help because the plug was not flat on the nut. |
