OK, get your mind out of the gutter!
Dropped both skid plates to do transfer case and tranny fluid change (42rle auto)...Frame looks good under the skids and all bolts came out good. Anyway, after dropping tranny pan and getting pissed that PO used black gasket maker instead of a gasket. I look closer at the bottom of the outside of the pan where some rust formed cracking the paint/PC. Test a low spot with a dental pick and it goes straight through!
Could have been a disaster very soon if I wasn't being proactive on the maintenance. So now go for a pan with a drain plug or just a $30 replacement? Any preferences?
