The LN mag drain plug shouldn't be torqued to more than 19 ft-lb.

I hope you have new O-rings for the oil cooler. Tip: be very careful when lifting out the old oil cooler. Hold it horizontal until you can get a bag or something else under it to catch the fluid that will come gushing out, all over the engine and flywheel area. Ask me how I know...
