Sorry for my previous post I was in the middle of composing the post and
accidently pressed send! And I do this for a living :-)

When I did my ATF I installed a after market drain plug in my pan. Hope this
helps on the next time!

How was this done?? Did you drill and tap a hole in the pan?

Nice looking truck. A mighty clean engine compartment, too. Seeing all of
these clean engine compartment pictures is making me think that it's time to
give mine a good cleaning ... a few offroad trips kinda ruined that whole
clean thing... :)

I took Gary's advice and used Tire Foam! Just spray it on and let it sit
for about 15 min. then wipe off any streaks. It works great!

On that note, if you haven't done it yet, you should also change your rear
differential fluid. If you have a limited slip rear differential, you'll
need to add a friction modifier to the fluid.

OK I think the differential is shown here...

Do I have to remove the cover to replace the fluid? It looks like Donald
used Mobil-1 is that what I should use?? What is the procedure?

Thanks to Josh, Andy, Bill and Donald for the great advice!
