Re: 4.0 L Core/Freeze Plugs
This has only happened twice - the first time was due to corrosion,
then I replaced all of them. The second time it was the 2nd one from
the firewall, and this one blew out after driving the vehicle less than
100 miles over about 6 - 8 weeks (was using another vehicle most of
that time). Now I just want to be certain I have it fixed properly!
Thanks again!

Hi Bill -
You say "Nope," meaning that bleeding the cooling system had nothing to
do with this blowing out? What do you think caused it, and what should
I do better to make certain it doesn't happen again?
Thank you very much.

Preparation is the key to any job. Always take a knife to scrape
the little ring of paint left from the original factory painting over
the plug, that may shrink the plug sliding over it, and of course drive
it correctly straight in from the it's center using the tool:

appropriate sized socket and breaker bar.
