DISCUSSION:
The fasteners that retain the transmission crossmember to the frame utilize a thread lock patch on the threads of the fastener. The thread lock patch is
required to help prevent the fastener from loosening during normal vehicle usage. When the transmission crossmember is required to be removed during
service, the amount of thread patch material on the fastener will deteriorate during fastener removal. To ensure that the fastener retention is not
compromised after service, the transmission crossmember fastener threads must have Mopar Lock & Seal p/n 04318031 added to the threads of each
fastener.
