Issue update

The trans plug will strip if a new crush gasket washer isnt used when its reinstalled, unless it gets very carefully hand torqued. The bolt is softer than the pan, a new bolt should but try ans flush out any shavings that might gave come off or poke a magnet around the hole or something.

well sorry to say but I never seen a washer of any sort on it. For the very little time that I had to move the truck from parking space to work space (50-100yds tops), I used the stripped bolt with a rubber grommet and I pushed the screw in with all i could and turned it about 1-1.5 turns and NO leak what so ever. But I bought a longer bolt with the crush washer from napa
 
Sorry for the tardy response but with everyone's help, I have saved my girl from the problem of the milkshake and other things...so far, knock on wood. The only thing that i have a small issue with is my local NAPA not having the correct size of transmission drain plug.

This is embarrassing to admit let alone even write but money is so tight that I couldn't even order a OEM transmission drain plug with the crush washer from anywhere because bills & mortgage had to come first. I just have to wait till not this Wednesday but the next one, to order it and the plastic air intake hose that connects to the aluminum intake at the top of the motor. It has a big crack that goes 1/2 way around it. As for the plug, I used the one that was originally in it along with a rubber grommet and washer. No leak so far but I don't want to push my luck. What is the exact dimensions of it again if anyone knows please.

Well that is all for now. I am just wire brushing the surface rust off some of the undercarriage and using rustoleum spray paint to give her some protection.

Again, members, thank you for all your help. Much appreciated
