Conn	I keep reading these posts about guys with worn lobes on their cams or worn lifters, Does anyone other than me leave a magnet or two in both the oil pan and Trans pan? In the oil pan I have two, one at the rear and one right next to the side drain plug and pickup. 2005 300C Hemi 2014 Ram ProMaster 2500 I Rekey, Repin old Chrysler locks and cut keys by code

A magnet tip on the eng oil pan drain plug works but I wonder that it's not large enough to be in contact w enough fluid to do much good. I'd like to epoxy a large chunk of speaker magnet in a corner inside of the pan & the only thing that would worry me is if it would keep the filings stuck to it until sometime in the distant future when I would be pulling the pan and I would think yes as some magnets have alot of pull and one of those round specialty ones that go around the filter I think is as good as you can get w this. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Then put a neat dab of black rtv covering the hole [in the magnet] to ensure it stays attached to the filter. mopar part 3681601: magnet, auto trans pan, loose chip & metal collector all models/years

I just don't understand the magnet on the filter. 2005 300C Hemi 2014 Ram ProMaster 2500 I Rekey, Repin old Chrysler locks and cut keys by code

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

In the pan is the best, both is even better yet especially since the wrap around filter one can be easily switched when you change filters live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
