The threded holes in the oil pan I think is for a optional skid plate to protect the oil pan for off roading. _____________________________ 94 4x4 ranger (in reply to dngrrngr93) Post #: 2

It would cost more in manufacturing to have 2 different pieces made, than just 1 fits all, if they need to use the threads they are there, if not, they are still there but not costing anything. _____________________________ 2006 Mustang GT Tungston - Hurst Comp/pro shifter Infinity KAPPA682.7CF, BasslinkII sub and 4SC Module 1990 Ranger 4.0 2004 Triumph Daytona 955i - Yellow (in reply to dngrrngr93) Post #: 5
