Didn't realize there was a new design? Is this for the 2.3 or 2.7?

I bought the real one by Ronin, not the Amazon knockoff. Build quality was awesome, but I jus wasn't a fan of the system requiring a separate piece that you screwed in. I know I'd lose it or break it someday.

I am planning on instead buying the UPR QT drain. Doesn't look as nice as Ronin's, but it's a simple ball valve similar to a Fumoto valve.

I have the UPR drain plug. I love it - so much control in managing the oil flow.

That's awesome! Find it pretty easy to install and use? I'll be installing a Rival 4x4 skid plate so I'm hoping that the port window in that plate is big enough to let me use the UPR valve...

Very easy to install and use. I think you should be in good shape, the access panel seems large enough to get your hand in there and rotate the valve handle. Do a follow-up once to install the UPR plug.

I definitely will - should get my truck delivered in Aug and plan on making a ton of posts!
