2006 F150 With 5.4 and 4R75E transmission

I want to add a drain plug to the transmission pan but upon searching I ran across this part number for a OEM pan with drain plug.

Does any body know if this would fit the 4R75E?

Part number F8UZ-7A194-AA

 

bump

I'd like to know as well. This would be convenient for the people like myself that like to over maintain!

Plug kit would be more economically suffice.....$5-$10....install it yerself....

 

if it fits the 4R70W it should fit the 4R75E they share the same trans cases

 

just like me

My plan is to keep my truck for a long time, with 50k on it now I want to stay up to par with things. I hate anybody touching my truck for anything besides me, so bringing it somewhere is not happening. lol And With trying to find the transmission service guide with one answer is all over the place....one is good for 100k-150k, one is "sealed with lifetime fluid", and ford online at severe conditions calls for 30k service, but then not again until 105k.. My thought was on every third oil change drain the trans pan and refill the 4-5 quarts in there. As of now my fluid looks nice and red and smells just like new, does not appear to be showing any signs of breaking down or burnt looking as of 50k. But I can get Motorcraft Mercon V for cheap so I firgure why not, it sure cant hurt it. And once I get an idea in my head, its hard for anybody else to convince me otherwise.


I saw those and they don't look bad but I see that a hand full of people say they start leaking after a while because the nylon washers breaks down/crack and that is the last thing I want.

Cool, I was looking around a little more and found a pic of it and it looks just like my pan now but with the drain plug in it.


So
#1 I either order it up for 52 bucks

#2 Drill a hole in my current pan and try and braze a nut on the inside of it and use a normal bolt w/ washer from the outside as the plug


Here are pics of the OEM pan w/ plug

 

needs a magnet before installing it

looks good tho, i would definitely go that route, love factory upgraded options

 

For Sure, will take the one out in my current pan if I order this one.

And I know, nothing like OEM upgrades!!, nothing beats it when you know S**t will fit like it should



O, one quick question you might know... The pan is steel right?...not Stainless?

Edit: never mind....kinda hard to have a magnet stick to it if it were stainless.

 

...that depends on the TYPE of stainless, but I think he meant a magnetic drain plug.

 

ya stamped steel

 

Alright, well just ordered up the pan w/drain bolt from tasca.

Hopefully I get it by the end of this week.

 

even if you're gonna do a drain and fill with a new filter, this pan should help you make less of a mess of yourself and your tools, drain it and then take the pan off!

 

Looking forward to see if this works. I don't like the mag hytec pans price or need the extra capacity and wary of DIY plug kits also.

 

What is the capacity of that pan?

 

Stock.

 

Yes, I know, but capacity?........
