I need to correct this. The spares I have are from the rokblokz mudflap install. They came from the truck upper part where the flaps attach to. So I think I only have 4 spares. They seem to be identical to the ones used in the flap for oil filter access. Also, my local O'Reilly's had 1/4" ford screw rivets which look identical as well. Picked up a pack of 2 for 2.50$. Gonna change oil tonight and will report back. The other caveat about the change is the oil drain plug torque being the pan is aluminum. It's 20 ft lbs. I've dobe aluminum diffs and xfer cases that call for same torque values or in the ballpark and never had issues. And I do those once a year. As long as my torque wrench is close enough I should be good. I used it for spark plugs on my jeep last year. 17ft lbs. I usually hand tighten then set wrench to 5 ft lbs a d it should click. I raise it to 10, then 15. The will do 20. It should get there pretty fast. Prolly hand right then set to 5 as a test, 10,,15 should click. 20 may move a hair.That's how I got two of the three out. That third one just would spin. Then and only then did I try the power one and cats paw etc. Even with it out of the truck, it won't come out. Lolol. As I said, I have 8 spares from the hood deflector install that I can use and also I have some different clips coming from amazon. Will migrate to a less temperamental clip if possible.
