This thread has cost me a S--t-Ton of money! ;) Replacing my 2019 Limited with a 2022, which has been built and should be delivered in next 2 to 3 weeks (hopefully). I've looked through about half of this thread from most recent working backwards and I've already purchased and received all the below mods. I'll have a very busy weekend once the new truck comes home. Will post pics when everything is done. Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread (I think -LOL)!!

Mopar RamAir Cold Air Intake
HellWig Sway Bar
ReTrax PowerMaxPro XR Bed Cover
BedRug Impact Bed Liner
Putco Blade 60" Tailgate Light Bar

17,500 miles on the 2021, last oil change was 8K miles ago and we're leaving on a 2,000 mile (minimum) trip next week so.... went ahead and did almost all of the 20K mile service. The Diesel Fuel Filter didn't arrive in time and the dealer didn't have one so today:

  1. Installed Summer tires
  2. Changed oil & filter
  3. Engine air filter
  4. Cabin air filter
  5. drained fuel filter

What is the thing attached to your oil drain and how do I get one?

It’s a ValvoMax Stainless Oil Drain Valve. Not sure if the threads are the same on hemi pan and eco-d pan. But this is the one I got from Amazon.

This is one of the greatest things ever and I have to buy it. My truck is due for its next change, but it can wait the Prime One-Day shipping.

I'm sure all the oil drain valves are pretty similar in function. I use a fumoto drain valve and it's a game changer when changing the oil. Link below

That one looks pretty cool too.

Ordered this one. I like how it is all one piece and I don't have to worry about losing the drain piece like the Valvomax. Just simpler to me.

Your results may vary, but I ended up ordering the drain tube kit for the Fumoto valve because the first oil change using the Fumoto valve, with the way it ran out the drain, when the oil hit the drain pan, it just splattered everywhere, including our of the drain pan. Using the hose, I can direct it into pan at different angle to prevent splatter

I have a Fumoto valve on my 60 gal air compressor. Constantly has a little leakage not an issue in my situation since I run a hose into a gallon bucket. Not sure if the ones for our trucks are different, but sure look the same. And to be fair I haven't troubleshot the issue or called them since not a big deal on my compressor ... but on my truck......

I ordered a short 3/8" ID hose to put on it for draining alongside. The only Fumoto with the kit is the long nipple and I kind of like the swivel of the F106SX.

They make a snap on plastic nipple for them, I have the same valve as you.

Nice! They don't have it available, but I found just the nipple adapter for $6. Will take a little longer to get here, but I'll just shove the tube on there with a zip tie in the meantime.

Yes a hose adapter is needed, if not it will still splash on the stabilizer bar.
