That's mild. I could teach you some that are better.

Consider Fluid Film on the rusty parts..

Mosey, Could you give us some pointers on the language you used when that happened? I know I need an expansion of the breadth of mine. The same old words make me weary.

Come over here and piss off the wife.... She can make a sailor blush....ROTFLMAO

I understand that. I am deathly afraid of mine.

It might be very effective, but I cannot pronounce it. The +$ looks like it has potential.

This frame hardware gets a lot of exposure to the elements. Corrosion is what seizes them, & causes the nut clips to break.

With a large drain pan you can let it drain onto the skid plate. It'll go into the pan at one or two points. I did mine that way.

Or just take the plate off and have no mess to clean up

If I'm right, Ford designed this bash plate to enable a tech to drain it into a shop oil collector. So taking it off isn't needed and that's what I saw when I drained mine. If you look at the oil filter it specifically has a plastic drain installed to direct the oil from the filter into a drain pan.

I don’t see any plastic drain pan on the transfer case shield. You do you. I’ll take out a few bolts vs spending time trying to get all the oil cleaned off the shield. Makes no sense to make a mess if you can avoid it with four bolts.

Well, the drain pan I referred to is for the oil filter on the front of the engine. When I changed transfer case oil it drained onto the bash plate and came out one of the holes in it, a single stream. As if that was planned. My inference is that Ford planned it that way to minimize the things the techs have to do. The truck must be level.

Yeah, I know exactly where the oil filter drain pan is

My point is, you do you. I’m not gonna waste my time trying to clean the damn dash plate up as you call it. I’m gonna take the damn four bolts out and take the damn plate off and not have to clean shit.

I don’t give a rats ass about what Ford did or didn’t do for their service techs.

Thank you for your interest in National Defense.
