Ok but how do you do the freeze plugs that are near the engine mounts and seem impossible to replace without removing the motor?
I find your videos to be the most comprehensive on the Net.
+Clarence Brown Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1AAuto.com
Great video ! Steady camera work, very detailed description, and not a lot of fluff in between the actual work. 🤘
Thanks man. Used your video on my 5.2
Dude I lost it when u said shmegma
Awesome video. Love the detail dude put into it
+8 8 Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1AAuto.com
High quality? LOL. Cant believe he cheaped out and didnt use a brass plug
Good video i have the same truck big help. and i am sooo glad i dont live where they salt the roads thats crazy rust.
I have a question, with gasket maker or sealant, will the core plug still be functional when the time comes? Or would it act as a glue and just crack the engine as an escape?
Excellant video detail
I see the struggle to install that plug, I use a socket that will fit inside the plug to get it started then use bigger socket to drive it all the way in. I made my own driver with a 3/8 drive wobble extension n viola freeze plug installed
Can you make a video on the process of removing the freeze plugs in the bell housing
I have a 2001 Buickq I am trying to change out the freeze plug but it is hard to get to it's on the bottom of the motor
OMG! What part of the country is this Ram from? Last time I saw rust underneath a vehicle like that I was stationed in Illinois. I would be afraid the frame would eventually fail.
Probably already has
How many freeze plugs does the 5.9 engine have and do you need to remove the transmission to get to all the freeze plugs
awesome camera work

Is this the same for a 2016 dodge ram 1500 with the 3.6 L
I’m trying to figure out how to change the plugs on the inside of the block. I have a leak right behind my power steering pump.
What engine is this?
How can you get vaccum when the “overflow”hose from the cap to resvoir is still connected? The cap on the resvoir is not very air sealed?!?
Did it leak when finished?
What size mm is the freeze plug? I can’t find it anywhere on google
Does anybody have any videos on how to replace freeze plugs without taking out the motor underneath the car on a 2004 Monte Carlo SS?
Gave me a heart attack thinking that this was going to be a 30-minute video just on replacing the freeze plugs alone lol
I have 2003 dodge ram 1500 would this job be applicable to it? And are these freez plugs available in any local automotive store like auto zone, napa?
+Rey Rojo We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task. You should be able to purchase the freeze plugs from a local auto parts store.
I paid a mechanic to replace the freeze plugs in a used engine he was putting in my truck, as well as adding a freeze plug heater into one of the holes. When I got my truck back home a few hours away I seen the heater and new plugs sitting in the floorboard of the truck. So I guess now I have to do it with the engine in the truck.
Nice Video, but how come you didn't change the other freeze plug before you put the starter? Whether it didn't need to be change but just to be safe. Would it be extra charge to do it?
Hi Gonzalo, I saw same thing he never did other freeze plug. Tip on putting in freeze plugs in 5.9l I used bit red silicone, and small hammer too get it stuck and started then I used my air hammer gently with my mushroom head tapped it right in place was fast easy. Just got Tapp it gently all around and watch it go in then done. Also I used from harbor freight in package there's 6 wire wheels they fit die-grinder try it fast freeze plug hole clean out use bigger wire wheel to polish block with. Simple.
how about doing a video for the same dodge trick 98 1500 6 cylinder freeze plug while removing transmission.
+Gonzalo Aguilar We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
What about the freeze plug behind the motor mount ???? I need some help
Why not use a socket that fits in the freeze plug?
They wanted to charge me $400 to change that same freeze plug. This is why i don't trust mechanics at all. None of them
I would use a socket that fits inside to get it started then switch to the bigger one
Is this the 5.7
how long after you put in a new freeze plug can you drive your vehicle
After your work area is picked up and put away, and take your time washing your hands, maybe a sandwich, and it's ready. 🙂
should have checked to make sure it didnt leak before putting everything back together Still I have a 94 that i need to replace and its a decent video
+david futch Thanks for the feedback!
He pressure tested the coolant system with his air compressor.
How many freeze plugs does a Dodge ram b250
Are any of the freeze plug holes threaded ?
No
Why wouldn't you freeze the freeze plug to shrink it and make it easier to install?
+Seth Luman Thanks for the tip! You can always stick a press in part in an ice bath or the freezer prior to install, as this will shrink the metal making install smoother.
That block needs to be flushed. The crap in that water jacket will or has already stopped up the radiator, heater core and water galleries. Water pump seals are likely chewed up too. A brass wire wheel works good for cleaning those holes. The corrosion of the frame means that truck isn't long for this earth.
+Tiporari Thanks for the feedback!
So many rust particles just got into the coolant system. Use a vacuum while youre knocking it out to catch all the debris
I wonder if the 5.2 have the same size freeze plugs🤔
Yes and even the 3.9 L v6 which is really a 5.2 minus two cylinders what might change are the smaller plugs if you buy a full kit for a specific engine say to replace them all and also the amount of plugs would be less for the 3.9 v6.
@@JoseSanchez-wb5rz what about the 8.0?
I'm so glad to see that you used a made in USA plug .. I watched a different video & they used a CHINA one. I almost puked 🤢..
If a freeze plug blows will hit make my truck run bad

That rust would not pass a WOF safety check in New Zealand!
Could you find a bigger rust bucket?
+Mikeybob W Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
👍👍
Good video but look how rusty everything on that truck is and it's not that old of a truck. Wow
🤣
Sir, you might as well replace the starter and bolts while you're at it.
There's no point in changing just 1 plug. It would be better to change them all.
+Robert Groover Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Everyone commenting on the rust me being from NY I thought it was pretty clean 😂
That look just like a Ram Rusty
Manamana!
Jesus! What the hell happen to that frame 😳??? Was that thing submerged in the pacific ocean for a year ?
It worth noting ram 5.9 is the same as 3.9v6 Dakota
Heard its best to use Brass freeze plugs.
Great video.
I have coolant leak in my Dakota and looks like its from freeze plugs mine all look like that but leak coming from in front of the engine near the crank.
I think there's freeze plug behind the alternator.
More videos on coolant leak from
ram/dakotas please.
Thankyou 👍😊
That starter been through the tundra or some shyte
If a please plug bows will hit make my truck run bad
I got to laugh. We don't want any of this fluid getting on the floor. Yeah right
lol... yeah i heard it dropping on the concrete.
I heard a spill lol
Vee-he-cure Smh. Vehicle. 😂
that's a rust bucket
+Kameo Walkin Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
SO glad I do not live in the rust belt.
Putting metal in your engine isnt a good idea
It is full of corrosion! Perhaps it is better to throw this RAM away to garbage!
Engine gonna fall out in a month
1. Its called a npt thread 2. A real mechanic would have used a shallow 32 mm and an extension backwards on the socket and been done a whole lot faster than you lol
But 500 dollars more expensive
That's what I used socket and extension
Too bad the frame was in the way "real mechanic lol"
