On a TD42, the oil pump is above sump level. The one or two seconds the pump has no oil in it wouldn't be of any worry. There will always be some residual oil on the gears anyway....

Nope
But I do drain it hot for all the reasons others have given.
Exactly! I remember changing the td42 in my old GQ. Dropped the plug when raging hot oil spilt on my hand and landed in the funnel, blocking it. Then while said raging hot oil was spilling all over my lawn, I shoved my hand back in the raging hot oil to get the pharkn plug out. Took a few years for the lawn to recover from that little mishap
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK

But wouldn't that happen whenever you let the vehicle sit, like overnight for example?

It’s a different ball park but you have a 10 min window to change the oil in a Ford ranger or you risk drying out the pump and it has to be manually primed, expensive job to fix. I just don’t think letting the oil drain over night is a smart thing to do

Patrols and Ranger are two totally different vehicles. Real and, well, they have their place in society somewhere. You won't be drying a pump out on a Patrol.

I don't see the point as well. I leave it for 10 or so minutes after shut down, Let it drain for another 20 or so then refill. Each to their own.
