They make a valve for that pan. The Fumoto valve has the correct plug for the indented pan nut. Check it out. We changed it on our Jayco that had the exact same pan.
Check your stabilizer bar and links. I had liquid springs installed also and my sway bar and links needed to be torqued tighter, and it quit clicking and popping.
Hello! I was just about to shoot you an email, funny enough! I'm glad everything is going well for you guys. Your rig is getting plenty of time to stretch its wheels this summer! 😂 I'm just waiting for the time when you guys are ready to sell it all and hit the road full time! I know there are some minor, tiny details in the way, but easily overcome! 🤣 I'm kidding, I'm glad you guys are enjoying your rig!!
I had that concern as well, funny enough. More to come on the drain. How bad was the damage there for you? Did you need to rethread the pan or a full replacement?!
@CozyLivingMachine Complete oil loss. Totaled engine. Just think of a truck tire cap laying on the road and you run over it. That oil plug would be fine but it could easily break that valve off.

Check the lower leveling legs for grease fittings.
None there, these units explicitly state not too grease them surprisingly

This ended up being the house subfloor coming apart from the frame, unfortunately.

Be sure to check driveshaft u joints and carrier bearings for grease fittings and grease them also
I've read that the newer F-53 chassis don't have them, but it's a good point to check next time I'm under there!
Don't do that oil drain. You run over something, and it breaks that off , you will have a problem. Ask me how I know.

Holy cow. Terrible outcome for something so simple. Yikes! Good warning there!
