[QUOTE="DD2013 5.0, post: 15024941, member: 153900"] Kits like the JPC turbo kit recomend having the fitting welded in to ensure leak free operation. The pan has a "baffle/sump" in the bottom. Debris can sit on the top of this sump. Fill and drain will not get all the crud out. Not to mention the front lip of the pan can catch all kinds of crap when the timing cover is off. The pan is really thin and in my case a -10 ton3/8" NPT adapter didn't have a large enough ID. I had to go -10 to 1/2". Driving a punch in the pan large enough to tap 1/2" NPT deforms it pretty bad. If you used a punch/tap and are happy with it then it's all good. I wasn't happy with it and had leaks. I use my cradle on other vehicles also. I used a motor cycle jack to lower the k. A jack with a block of wood under the trans would have been in my way big time. [/QUOTE]
