Some time ago I replaced the fluid in both the diffs and I noticed that I had no metal shavings in the drain plug. Upon further inspection it didn't seem to be magnetized and as I had no shavings in the old fluid I didn't worry about it.
Yesterday I replaced the fluid in the transfer box and I noticed once again that none of the plugs (fill or drain) were magnetized.
From pictures I've seen around the interwebs I was under the impression that the plugs were always magnetized, to grab any metal shavings from transmission wear.
Am I mistaken and the factory P38 plugs are not magnetized ?
Does it make sense to change them with aftermarket magnetic ones on the next fluid change ?
