Hmm, I was looking at adding a drain plug to mine... but after seeing
the one that Tom found, I found this one:
http://www.transmissionpartsusa.com/A727_A518_A618_45RE_46RE_transmission_pan_p/600-000014110.htm
Anyone know if this fits our trucks, considering how close the exhaust
passes to it?
Thanks,
MattB
