Get on the Cummins Quickserve site, do it right. Register, it is free, go to the engine assembly section, Lubricating Oil Pan, click on that.

I don't know if you know about the Fumoto oil drain valves, but many of us here use them. I won't leave home without mine, lol. They are grease monkey proof, and made of solid brass. I have been using mine for quite a few years.

Here are the ones available for our Cummins oil pans... I use the 2-T11

You can get these at FleetPride, Amazon and I have seen them at a few dealership parts departments. Torque to 35ftlbs

I don't know how old your truck is, but around the main oil drain hole is where the pan starts to rust and fail. The reason I went with the Fumoto drain plug. So when you are down there, inspect around the hole. Stick your finger inside and feel around the edge for any flacking or cracking of the internal coating of the pan. A new pan will run you around $1200+ from Cummins. There are Chinesium knock offs for around $500. I installed a used Cummins pan several years ago, along with the Fumoto and painted the hell out of the exterior of the pan along with several coatings of POR.

My first original oil pan rotted out in five years, oil weeping through the sides of the pan.
