Dumb Question

Q: ramman@dodgecity.cc wrote by the same token the tree huggers also share some of the blame. just look at how theyve phuqued things up in california. already theres a $1/gallon price differential between cal. and the rest of the us. you left our government out too. why are there no congressional hearings on the fact that oil companies profits during this time keep setting new records everytime theres an increase in what we pay at the pump thats a rhetorical question as i know the oil companies contribute heavily to both political parties .

i have a 2000 dodge durango with a 5.2l magnum engine. it has 42000 miles. on march 29 2005 it started leaking anti-freeze coolant from the bottom of the truck. i took it to the dealer since it might be a warranty fix and they indicated that 3 of the 16 freeze core plugs were leaking due to rust. luckily this is still covered since i am under the 50000 mile warranty for this part. my problem is that i am having a hard time understanding how could this rust so easily and so quickly. i have never put water in the radiator well just coolant a few times to top it off. i have never flushed the system since its not time yet and i follow maintenance plan which says to do this at 50000 miles. is this a design problem with the suv truck thanks for your responses in advanced. .
