I bought one of those PAI pans nearly a year ago and had the truck back the next day because the recesses before the threads was too small for the Orings they supply with their plugs. I had to squeeze a smaller profile oring over the plugs.

A bit of an inconvenience but not a deal breaker when they're 1/4 the cost of a genuine pan.

I didn't see any issues and there were extra O rings. But that's good to know, I will keep an eye on them. I like the plugs on the bottom, should drain all the oil unlike Cummins. It came with a gasket but we reused the Cummins one since it was new. I gave the PAI one to my friend, he builds a lot of motors for guys on a budget. I did find some information on line about others having trouble with dip sticks rubbing the pan.

So I had the oil changed today because I have been out a lot. I was going to change it Saturday but it stormed and I left early Sunday. But I had them take the center plug out to get a good drain. Here are two pictures of what came out. I showed it to Jerry and the guy who replaced the oil pan. It doesn't look familiar to anyone. Has anyone seen anything like this with an ISX? Is it possible that it was in one of the oil jugs when the pan was replaced? I bought the oil and gear oil from a local Walmart. I don't see any issues with the engine. And there are no marks on the piece that came out. I'm really thinking it came from inside one of the jugs of oil.
