Does anyone know what the drain plug on the tourqe converter is supposed to be torqued to? I have also read that you can only use the drain plug once. Is this true?
Thanks for the help!

 

Using it once is B.S. The truck will be a rotting hulk in a junkyard before the threads on the plug wear out.
I don't know the torque nor do I torque mine. I just tighten it with a 7/16" socket and a 3/8" ratchet. I've never had any problems. Don't gorilla it, just make sure it's tight.

 

I second that, just did exactly that last night.

 

Don't over tighten the plug. The problem is the soft metal on the threads, they tend to strip pretty easily. I was able to re-install mine the other day, even thorugh the threads are looking pretty bad. I need to get another one for the next tranny service.
