RE: Quick drain
Hey glenn... can you tell me more about the Fram Sure Drain? How far does it hang down below the pan? .. From whatI read the oil flows out as the drain hose is screwed on.. so there must be a check valve in it.. Does it look pretty heavy duty? I'm leary of 'Fram' anything.. so any info you can give would help

Had one of those checkvalve ones on a c15 CAT (never seen one before) soof course we don't have the hose to attach to it in our shop, ended up just pulling it to drain the oil. Not sure if it was fram though but it was heavy duty.

hmmmmmmmmmm.......only 1/2" below the pan?... now you got me thinking.... the plug is counter-sunk into the pan about 1/4"... that might be safe enough.. it would have to impact something pretty violently to do any damage..... hmmmm.. thanks for the info!

RE: Quick drain
My father had one of those scre in types on my Ram before I got it. He loved it so much that he asked for it back when he sold the Ram to me. I gave it to him and I used the stock plug about 3 times before I got the one that I have now. After it's all said and done my Pop calls me up to tell me that I can have the plug back. It won't fit in his year Ram.[:@]

Wow, thanks for the pic, I really had no idea, your oil pan actually is the lowest point in your front end, I really would not recommend putting that thing down there, probabaly a bad idea unless you were a decent metal fabricator.
