Drain plug questions...

Ok, I'm getting ready to change all of my fluids, and had a few questions before I started.

1. What type of socket do I need to get the t-case plugs out?

2. Do the t-case plugs need teflon tape on them, or some kind of sealer, or do I just put them back in as-is?

3. Same as #2, but referring to the plug in the D30 diff. cover.

4. Does the transmission drain plug take a gasket, and if so, what size is it? If not, does it need some kind of sealer?

5. The fill plug for the Chrysler 8.25" just pops out, right?

6. Same as #2, but referring to the coolant drain in the engine block.

7. What size socket does the coolant drain require?

Thanks guys!

all of this info was in relation to my '98 with the 231 so take it for what it's worth

1. large allen wrench (not sure what size)
2. no, i just put mine back in as is
3. just use the socket wrench w/ extension. don't need a socket. just the square end of the extension
4. doesn't need anything
5. yes. best to push it out from the inside when you have the cover off
6. dunno
7. dunno

agreed - distroyed mine trying to pry it out and had to pull the diff cover again... and buy a new plug D35 tho...

2. My 98's 242 TC requires a 10mm allen.

Does the D30 cover plug require sealant or anything?

RTV gasket maker
