That's a fumoto on one end correct Mark? Did you make that up or find it somewhere? Hope the angle points in the right direction when you tighten 'er up

It's an EZ drain valve. Similar to Fumoto. Some say a little better.

Going to have enough room to squeeze that in there?

Looks like it will hit the driveshaft. Hopefully you're a 2 wheel driver.

No, I have an FX4.

I measured the space and the adapter and valve will fit (measure twice / cut once lol). That is what was a challenge in the project - fabbing it to fit. I ordered the 90 on the end as a "hope and a prayer". It just screws off, so it is no big deal if it does not fit (and Scott - it makes the final orientation a moot point as well - lol). If I take the 90 off, the stream may hit the drive shaft and splatter, but I will just have to try it out and see.

It would definitely be good for a 2WD!

I may have to take off the manifold cover to fit it all in, but will let ya'll know on that when I do it.

Too late coming home from work to get it done. Will do it tomorrow.

Nice looking piece Mark. I know you've been working on it for a while now.

Is that ferruel nut on the 90 a jam nut?
The ones we used in the oil field were a jam nut, easyly adjust angel then tighten the nut.

here are the installed pics. I did indeed have to remove the HFCM manifold, but left the hoses attached - I only needed a little bit of extra room to get it installed.

Not unexpectedly, the 90 degree elbow did not fit.
