OIL DRAIN PLUG - HEAVY DUTY - 18MM ('89-'93, 5.9L w/MAGNETIC TIP)
The engine oil drain plug in your Turbo Diesel is known to develop fractures. Although the design is good - a flush plug that gives maximum ground clearance - the thin shoulder of the plug can give-way if torqued too tight. Fix this with a Plug-It-Right drain plug.
Torque specification problems are created by confusing information in the "real world." (The correct torque for the Dodge plug is 40 ft. lb., for a Cummins plug in otherB-series engines, the torque is higher).
We were fortunate to have a customer write in and send us a product that he manufactures to solve the thin-shoulder problem.
To remove the plug, use a 9/16" hex-head wrench. Use a 40 ft.lb. torque specification for this plug. This kit includes drain plug and reusable gasket.
