I received a PM from another member asking about the drain plug because he had called his dealer and they could not find the listing or the part number. Here's the deal:
The part and the number are new. They are for the 2006 LCF which is a brand new truck therefore many dealers might not have the listing or have an updated parts catalog. The LCF is a Medium Duty truck and if your dealer is not a Medium Duty Ford dealer they may have trouble looking this up and ordering it. I asked my parts counter person to look this plug up in the catalog and we quickly found it. My dealer's database showed the part number and verified that it was indeed a good part number however the pricing information was unavailable. He called Ford for help and within an hour they had faxed us the pricing info. They also indicated that this drain plug was not widely stocked at most Ford part distribution depots and would be coming from the vendor, i.e. - back ordered meaning it would take a few days to get. I am sure that if you persist and ask your Ford parts man to dig just a tad deeper he will find the same information and can add it to their system which will eventually happen anyway.

Best thing is for dealer to take down part number and call their distribution facility and order it... it will probably get back-ordered since it is so new and not really for the SD trucks... but it fits just fine and was designed for a medium duty truck format/platform that Ford has.
Good luck... I am calling my dealer on Monday.

Went by my local Ford dealer and bought this new HFCM drain plug.
Cost was $17.00 with tax. Is being shipped from the national parts warehouse and will take 3 days. Nothing said about being back-ordered???
I only drain (check) every 15,000 miles when changing fuel filters and have never had the WIF light come on at anytime. I hate to jinx it, but I do like the design of the new plug for the "do-it-yourself" mechanics.
