Features:
When it comes to protecting your engine, it’s often the smallest upgrades that make the biggest difference, and that’s exactly the case with the PPE 14mm Magnetic Drain Plug. Your factory drain plug doesn’t include a magnet, which means tiny metal shavings are left circulating in your oil, quietly wearing down critical components. This billet stainless steel plug from PPE is designed to stop that damage before it starts, using a powerful Neodymium magnet to grab and hold those ferrous particles every time you change your oil. It’s a simple, affordable way to add another layer of protection to your Duramax, helping to extend engine life without requiring any complicated mods or tuning. The included copper washer creates a clean seal, and the safety wire provision adds a level of security for high-performance or off-road applications. If you’re already under the truck doing an oil change, there’s no reason not to install this. It’s a drop-in replacement that works with both factory and PPE oil pans, so you know it’ll fit right the first time. Think of it as cheap insurance for your long-term investment.
The PPE 114052001 Magnetic Drain Plug is machined from billet hardened stainless steel, offering a significant upgrade in both durability and functionality over your stock 14mm plug. Designed specifically for 2001–2016 GM Duramax-equipped trucks, this drain plug is a direct-fit part that matches GM part number 11569943 and threads cleanly into both OEM and PPE oil pans. What sets it apart is the embedded Neodymium magnet, which captures fine metal debris that can bypass even the best oil filters, reducing internal wear during daily driving, towing, or performance use. The plug includes a copper crush washer to ensure a proper seal under torque specs of 30–35 lb-ft, helping prevent leaks at the pan. For added confidence, PPE has also included a safety wire hole, giving you the option to secure the plug in place for high-vibration environments or race-style setups. Whether you’re doing regular maintenance or upgrading your truck’s oil system, this plug offers a professional-grade solution with real-world benefits. It’s a must-have for Duramax owners who are serious about engine health and performance longevity.
