[s-cars] I Won

[Paul DAnneo]

Hello All,
 
 
 After the 2 day battle with my drain plug I finally got it out. It don't look so good. 17mm wrench rounded it. Vice grips oblonged it. 5/8" wrench mashed it. Liquid wrench made it slippery. Finally pipe wrench bit into it and removed it. Have all knuckles. 
 FLAPS doesn't have drain plug. Local stealership is 2 hrs away which will probably be my next trip.
 Robert Myers recomended a drain valve. Of course I didn't keep the link. I'm interested.
 
Question:
 Has anyone living in snow country used this valve? I'm concerned about packed snow opening the valve. Often I will be driving in 1' plus of snow. I wouldn't want it opening up while driving.
 
 
TIA,
Paul
