Do you guys use any sealant on your transmission and diff drain and fill plugs, if so what's your preference?

Yes. Permatex liquid hi-temp thread sealant on both. Acts as a barrier against any galvanic thread corrosion as well. I had a fill plug sieze in a different transmission housing one time. No fun getting that out! This is a nice preventative. Certainly not required, but i think it helps 👍🏻

Same reason I did it nothing sucks more than a stuck plug
