Who sells magnetic diff drain plugs?

No idea but you could just wrap your oil filter with a magnet.

And this would help your diff in what way?

simple, magnet attracts the metal fillings flowing thru system same idea as magnetic pan plug.

He is talking about a differential.

The diff ports are not standard so I doubt you will find one. Nor will you ever need one.

They do exist. I've seen them for sale before.

Yes, generally not necessary for a diff, but a jackass shipped me a diff without the output flanges, and condensation caused the splines on 1 side to rust a bit. I cleaned the splines with a pick and removed as much of the debris as possible, but I know some of it is floating around inside there. Magnetic plug seems like an easy clean up.

Yup missed the diff in there, and yes they do exist Ryan.

If anyone wants one, this place has magnetic oil pan plugs for cheap. BMA has them too, but I didn't get a price.

im bumping this from the dead. i cant find a source for a magnetic plug for the diff which i really need since im putting in a new LSD that will likely produce metal shavings on break in.
