Yeah John, I got a reply, just wish it had been what I wanted to hear. I will need to change my oil in a couple of weeks, I may just buy the damn thing and put it in and test my luck. We'll see.
Geoff,
No harm in changing that oil every 100 miles!!!!

Anyone try and of the sizes on the 4.7? I saw a post in this thread about the sd-2 fitting a 2001 4.7L which is odd that the sd-1 would fit all the other engines but the sd-2 would fit the 4.7. Anyone know for sure? Also how much are these things?

Here's what I got back from Fram:
Thank you for the e-mail regarding a Fram SureDrain oil drain plugs for your 2001-2002 Dodge Dakota. We welcome the
opportunity to be of service.
We regret to inform you that Fram does not offer a SureDrain oil drain plug for the 2001 Dodge Dakota 3.9L and the 2002
Dodge Dakota 4.7L engines.
Thank you for considering Fram filters.
Cordially,

Yeah, I just can't believe that they make a plug that fits the 2000s but nothing later. The plug has to be the same doesn't it? I wonder if they designed these things back a couple of years ago based on the current engines at the time and haven't bothered looking to see if they work in the newer setups. Wish somebody that had a 01 or 02 had bought one of these already, maybe I'll have to be the guinea pig one of these days!

Yes, the SD-2 does fit and work properly on the 2001 4.7ltr engine. I have it installed in mine and it works just great, especially since I have the Skid plate package on mine. The drain hose allows me to not have to remove the skid plate to drain the oil.

Well, with Fram's slip-shod way of making filters, no way would I trust other items they manufacture. I mean geeeez, they don't even know what fits what, etc. Anyway, I recommend if you want such a device go with the PROVEN over the years Fumoto drain valve!

For those of you with a 2001 Dakota.
SD-1 for the 3.9
SD-2 for the 4.7
These are definate as I have installed the sure-drain on these engines. I believe the 5.9 is the same as the 3.9, but I have no proof. Call the dealer and see if the drain plugs are the same if you are curious.

Mike,
Thanks for the information. I plan on doing an oil change in the next week or two and will probably pick one up. What did you think of the quality of the piece? Thanks.

Product seems to have a good fit and the finish looks durable. We will see after a year or so how well it holds up. For the price though, I see no problems.
