Makes me glad I opted for the 2.3 liter. Only 30 hp difference and a metal drain plug

make sure you double check for leaks.. I had the same Dorman plug and it leaked so bad. i put the OEM back in and no leaks.

Thanks I'll keep an eye on it

Dorman products are great. As with any replacement part, a lot of times people do not replace the related parts along with the main part. Old related parts will put extra stress on the new part and cause premature failure regardless of the brand name.

Dorman is a major source of OEM-style parts for my 25 year old Super Duty since Ford doesn't believe enough in their own products to make OEM replacement parts available. They may not be perfect but they're affrodable and available, two things Ford parts rarely are.
