Freeze Plugs or Core Plugs
From : joeysamone
Q: 1157170614.068203.118580@i3g2000cwc.googlegroups.com joeysamone joeysamone@yahoo.com wrote i have a 2000 dodge durango with a 5.2l magnum engine. at 42000 miles on march 29 2005 it started leaking anti-freeze coolant. the dealer indicated that 3 of the 10 freeze core plug were leaking due to corrosion. then at 64000 miles on august 24 2006 it happened again but this time only 2 of the 10 freeze core plug were leaking due to corrosion. is this a defect i am having a hard time understanding how could this leak so easily and so quickly. is this a design problem with the suv truck thanks for your responses. sounds more like a lack of maintenance. the 5.2 has been around since 1967 if this were a design problem it would be well known. .

mike simmons mikesim@yhti.net wrote dave i cant do that davenpete@gmail.com wrote mike simmons wrote unless you live in the extreme north never run more than a 50-50 mixture of antifreeze and water. a 50-50 mixture of coolant will give you all the corrosion inhibitors you need to keep your cooling system at peak efficiency if it is maintained properly. a 50-50 mixture will provide freeze protection down to -34 degrees f which is adequate for most of the us and canada. if your climate requires you can go to a maximum of 70-30 antifreeze and water but this is rarely needed and offers no benefit other than additional freeze protection. at a 50-50 mix freeze protection is -34f and boilover protection is at +265f. at 7030 freeze protection is at -84f and boilover protection is at 276f. hence there may be no added anti corrosion benefits but in *either* very hot or very cold weather there is significant advantage to maintaining a maximum antifreeze to water mixture. note that the 70-30 mix is indeed the maximum and going higher will in fact reduce the freeze protection. or it will with ethylene glycol based anti freeze. but that is not true of propylene glycol antifreeze. mike not quite correct check this url... actually he is precisely correct... and so are *all* of the sites listed below! there actually is no conflict! theres trick to it though... http//www.shadowstuff.com/ ... you can see that 60% is the max for minus temps. ... thanks for the reply! it would seem that the folks at prestone have a bit of disagreement with your 60% figure. ... http//www.prestone.com/carcare/faq.php#q3 ... http//www.peakantifreeze.com/images/artprotectionchart.jpg hmmmmm.... curious.... i read your link and it appears this came from a study by the university of alaska. those folks should know above freeze-ups imho so there is a bit of controversy isnt there uaf people definitely know and no there is absolutely *no* controversy! i lived near fairbanks for two decades and saw -70f there and didnt consider -60f to be odd. rest assured that the average mechanic in fairbanks knows more about antifreeze than most folks ever begin to imagine! suffice it to say that the max ratio is somewhere between 60-70% ... heh heh want to know what the trick is the coolant being talked about can be either of two things 1 is the antifreeze as it comes out of the jug you buy or 2 the actual ethylene glycol antifreeze that is the ingredient which provides freeze protection. 70% for the first and 60% for the second. the coolant you poor out of the jug is not 100% ethylene glycol because it has all those corrosion inhibitors added. if that liquid is mixed 7030 with water what you will get is a 6040 glycol water mix. confusing to say the least but in either case what they are referencing is a 6040 ethylene glycol mixture by weight. -- floyd l. davidson http//www.apaflo.com/floyddavidson ukpeagvik barrow alaska floyd@apaflo.com thanks floyd! i hadnt considered the additive package. your trick makes sense! mike .

fmb wrote are these the fasteners that you poke the center in a bit to unlock it then pull out whole fastener if it is what i think it is position the center part so it is poking out from the fasteners top insert the fastener then push the center till it is flush with the rest of the fastener. that should relock it. fmb n mexico to unlock these fasteners you poke the center pin all the way out thorugh the back. you cannot re-use these. you would need to push the pin from the back through to the front to re-lock it. i think that the center pin was longer when installed for the first time and then cut flush. .

you always have the best information. are you a dodge technician or service manager i want to be able to play music while the doors are open and the key in the igninion on accessory. past autos had a button switch that could be forced closed one way or another while door was open. i assume there is a hidded switch/sensor somewhere. how do i over-ride it. in the 3rd gen trucks the sensor is in the door latch. for the 05 model theres a four-pin connector at the latch itself. youre interested in the 20-gauge violet wire which is the door ajar sense. this wire can also be found in a 10-pin connector under the dash one row of 4 pins one row of 6 pins. to help identify it these are the colors of the pins 1- violet this is the one you want 2 - light green/yellow 3 - tan/gray 4 - dark green/yellow 5 - dark green/light blue 6 - tan/orange 7 - pink/yellow 8 - orange/light blue 9 - red 10 - black/violet what i dont know is whether the violet wire is grounded when the door is open or closed. youll have to use a meter and figure that out. if its grounded when the door is closed then just tap that wire and run it to a switch on the dash that will allow you to manually switch to ground. if its grounded when the door is opened cut the wire and run both sides to a spst switch. turning the switch off will prevent the circuit from being grounded. .

jmc wrote well turns out it *wasnt* a mechanics fault my radiator cap is failing. its been holding pressure fine for winter here and short jaunts but apparently going 4x4 in warmer temps not hot here yet only in the low 80s fahrenheit 30c. they tested it fails around 17psi. heres where being overseas with a us-only truck sucks. they cant get the bloody part! partsamerica had it of course and ive just finished ordering. but because of a $4 part im stuck with local driving until the part comes in. just in case it doesnt come in before our next long trip - to uluru ayres rock which is a couple hundred miles away - got a gallon of radiator fluid. hopefully it wont be needed. pretty annoyed my truck seems to be failing by bits. jmc my experience with a failed cap was the rubber washer. it had swollen and wouldnt allow coolant to enter from the coolant recovery tank. in 32f/0c weather the engines temperature would swing wildy. lesson replace the !$%^&* cap when doing cooling system maintenance. that reminds me... per snomans advice i gots to step up to 80/20% coolant/water. while im at it ill tighten the front pump bolts on my manual trans to 150 ft/lb and replace the knock sensor on my v10. after all hes the exspurt ie formerly a drip under pressure. bryan ;- .

the factory recommended 50-50 mixture is the ideal ratio and should be adhered to in spite of anecdotal evidence posted below. this is the problem stero types. detriot uses 50/50 still because over millions of vechicle you save tens of millions of dollars a year for profit. the manufacturers use a 50-50 mizture based upon testing and chemical analysis. it has been proven to be the ideal ratio based upon millions of vehicles sold... nothing more. by your analysis then the anifreeze manufacturers should want to increase sales by recommending a higher ratio right visit any antifreeze manufacturers website and you will see that the recommended ratio is 50-50. are they not interested in profit.... please explain that dichotomy in fact many offer a pre-mixed product in a 50-50 ratio if they like every other business was only interested in profit would they not offer a 70-30 products as you suggest please explain that if you can. there was a time that detriot said 40/60 was best too. the problem is aggrevated by the mixed metal contect in engine blocks that increase galvanic reactivity and water is very reactive too. the less of it the better. the bs is is where people blindly folow detriot that wants you to by another car in 3 or 5 years or take it in for servicing. the last thing they want to do is build one that really lasts and reduces demand for their products. i keep some vehicle a very long time and i could send you pictures of overflow tanks and radiator that are as clean as they day they were built 17 or more years ago from using 70/30 but you would say that they were doctored or that i used a new or cleaned ones so knock yourself out. also by your bs people living in northen states are screwd because 50/50 will not cut it and even 60/40 will not either in a few areas and i for one have lived once where 40 below and colder was common in winter and 50/50 whould hae been worthless. you want to was your money you can but do not dismiss something as bs because you do not understand the physics behind it. i dont understand the physics behind it thats a hoot! im a degreed engineer with a major in ee and a minor in physics. no wonder you have this infatuation with heated leather seats.... vbg do ya think ol tender toosh has tested them yet there have been some cool nights. vbg roy .

sounds like a good day of fun. be sure to post a few pics!! denny .. for varying definitions of offroad i imagine. sure ive taken the dak 2001 dakota slt across a field and have had an interesting time in some feet of snow. but ive never been four-wheeling it in the australian outback. or any other outback for that matter... these first attempts were pretty wimpy by your standards i imagine but perfect for the newbie i be. both werent part of our original plans but were worth the trips nevertheless. for our first adventure we turned offroad on a 4km there-and-back track. this track had lots of small-rock sections and some bigger rocky sections near the end. rocky creek crossings. some really serious speedbump-like ridges but 4x the height of a normal speedbump - these were actually for diverting water i think - weirs i wouldnt call it a true 4wd road though as i never actually put it in 4 - hi or lo. there was a good bit of bouncing going on tho. aside - my steering wheel just where it meets the dash rattled a lot. is this normal next morning we went off on a completely different track the challenges there were washboard - worse washboard ive ever seen - and some sandy bits but nothing spectacular. i did have to put it in 4hi for this track it seemed to help keep my trucks backside where it belonged on the washboard and of course helped with traction in the sand. today i was at the dealer for an unrelated problem failing radiator cap in another post we got to talking and he was saying the most common problem he sees with 4wd vehicles out here is broken axles. cause accumulated metal fatigue from washboard roads. anyway i had a great time and the dakota was great! didnt bog down in the sand at all and handled the washboard better than any other vehicle ive driven even before i put it in 4hi. though i shouldnt be surprised really it is my first 4x4. ill certainly go with other more experienced 4wd drivers/vehicles with winches g as we explore other roads. having a 4x4 here has opened up whole new horizons for us! yeeha! now all i need is a gps so i dont get totally lost out here jmc .

the factory recommended 50-50 mixture is the ideal ratio and should be adhered to in spite of anecdotal evidence posted below. this is the problem stero types. detriot uses 50/50 still because over millions of vechicle you save tens of millions of dollars a year for profit. the manufacturers use a 50-50 mizture based upon testing and chemical analysis. it has been proven to be the ideal ratio based upon millions of vehicles sold... nothing more. by your analysis then the anifreeze manufacturers should want to increase sales by recommending a higher ratio right visit any antifreeze manufacturers website and you will see that the recommended ratio is 50-50. are they not interested in profit.... please explain that dichotomy in fact many offer a pre-mixed product in a 50-50 ratio if they like every other business was only interested in profit would they not offer a 70-30 products as you suggest please explain that if you can. there was a time that detriot said 40/60 was best too. the problem is aggrevated by the mixed metal contect in engine blocks that increase galvanic reactivity and water is very reactive too. the less of it the better. the bs is is where people blindly folow detriot that wants you to by another car in 3 or 5 years or take it in for servicing. the last thing they want to do is build one that really lasts and reduces demand for their products. i keep some vehicle a very long time and i could send you pictures of overflow tanks and radiator that are as clean as they day they were built 17 or more years ago from using 70/30 but you would say that they were doctored or that i used a new or cleaned ones so knock yourself out. also by your bs people living in northen states are screwd because 50/50 will not cut it and even 60/40 will not either in a few areas and i for one have lived once where 40 below and colder was common in winter and 50/50 whould hae been worthless. you want to was your money you can but do not dismiss something as bs because you do not understand the physics behind it. i dont understand the physics behind it thats a hoot! im a degreed engineer with a major in ee and a minor in physics. no wonder you have this infatuation with heated leather seats.... vbg denny .

on the lot. maybe i should have asked. but if the dealer never changed it either then the coolant would have been in the truck for over 5 years!!! oh my! yep. not good for any coolant imo but especially not the green stuff... but still why did it happen again a second time right now at 64000 mi on aug 29 2006 i hope this make sense. because the damage was done already. even if the new coolant stopped the corrosion on that core plug the heat/cool cycles on an already-corroded plug will eventually wear it out. if i were you id replace all the core plugs but first id do a thorough cooling system flush i suspect that when the first plug was changed they simply dropped the coolant and replenished it. this will help to clean out all the crud that im sure is floating around the coolant passages. as far as replacing the rest of the plugs if two failed - you can expect more. its a hard lesson to learn but this is why people stress regular coolant flush/changes.... even on the supposed 5-year 100000 mile coolant. while the new coolant does hold up longer im not willing to believe it lasts that long. i just flushed mine 03 ctd at 60k and the flush water came out nice and clean the first time - but still piece of mind is worth a couple of dollars in coolant and some time. .

later ill post about my first real sort of four wheel drive experience in the australian outback great fun! but for now 2001 dodge dakota slt 4x4 id been noticing on this trip that my truck has a strong smell of burning rubber just as i get out of the truck after stopping. it was dissipating fairly quickly though. as id never gone 4x4ing before i wasnt worried enough to look into it wish i had since the truck was running fine. figured it was just something normal for a hardworking truck. when i got home i popped the hood and to my dismay found that coolant had been spraying all over my engine! looks to my untrained eye like the idiot at the dealership who did my coolant change didnt tighten the pressure cap all the way - it took a quarter turn more to tighten it than to take it off. im betting this has been happening since the coolant was changed close to two months ago. havent been doing much driving this was the longest journey since then 100 miles in two days. today was warmer too in the low eighties 30c. truck was in 4hi but never 4lo both days and the ac was on if that matters. reservoir is all but dry - doesnt register on the dipstick at all but i can see something in there. however the line where i took the pressure cap off is full. my truck never overheated or misbehaved dont they start pinging when overheating but i think im lucky i finally noticed this. theres coolant sprayed *everywhere*. the entire right side of the engine block is liberally sprinkled with the stuff. theres some settled on the frame and a little bit dripped off its all underneath the hood on the battery all the way back to the firewall. so theres a couple of questions here the dealership is a couple of miles away. should i put in tap water to ensure the truck gets there or will it be ok oh yea theyre gonna be hearing from me. ill be there on the doorstep with the truck when they open tomorrow. if *i* can tell when the caps on all the way theres no excuse for a mechanic not to get that right! was the hot coolant landing on hot engine parts what caused the burning rubber smell if not what should i be looking at will the coolant damage said parts my lesson learned always always check the mechanics work if you can even on the stupid stuff like oil and coolant changes. wont make that mistake again! thanks for any help. jmc .

still waiting on an explanation of how a dodge v10 will retard its ignition timing when running 87 octane fuel. on the v10 you will never figure that one out no matter how it is explained because your mind is stuck in the mud on 87 being the best fuel to use period. you should take a few classes on thermodynamic principles and operational theories of ic engine and after you do and if you pass them then maybe we can have that talk because you talk the talk but cannot walk the walk on this subject and are well out of your league. ----------------- thesnoman.com its my understanding that... octane is a measure of fuels resistance to detonation aka pinging or dieseling caused by the rise in temperature associated with compressing an air fuel/mixture or any substance in a gaseous state. that is the higher the octane rating the higher the compression ratio the air/fuel mixture can endure before compressional heat causes ignition of said air/fuel mixture. higher compression gasoline engines require higher octane gasoline so that the air/fuel mixture may be compressed without detonation before the spark plug induces ignition. lower compression engines gain no benefit from using gasoline with a higher octane rating. furthermore i know that the some power programmers will adjust things like injector pulse width and ignition timing to increase horse power and torque but those changes usually require gasoline with a higher octane than the stock program to prevent compressional detonation. therefore please explain to me the situations and reasons why a v-10 or any other gasoline engine designated by the manufacturer as requiring 87 octane gasoline can benefit from higher octane gasoline. .

tom lawrence wrote i am having a hard time understanding how could this leak so easily and so quickly. do you flush your cooling system every two years/24000 miles i am very appreciative of all your time and responses but the logic about the maintenance does not make sense. as stated above it was not 2 years yet between the two leak occurrences march 2005 to august 2006 = 17 months. it also has not been 24000 miles yet between the 2 leak occurrences 42000 miles and 64000 miles = 22000 miles. even if i brought the suv in to the dealer earlier to replace the coolant the corrosion already took place prior to the maintenance cycles. both leak problems occurred before each of the recommended maintenance cycles. if i had the opportunity i would have brought the truck in for maintenance but it leaked first prior to both maintenance cycles. i can give you guys more background on this if needed. i am interested in keeping my durango a long time so i am looking for a long term solution. .

mike simmons wrote i have been following this thread and many others! and can no longer remain silent while such wholesale bs is propagated through this group. i would caution the op to dismiss the snomans reply in its entirety since it is absolute hogwash! i agree too that it is a maintainance issue. when you get freeze plugs leaking it is usually a sign of improper antifreeze mixture that is letting corrosion take place. it is highly likely that it is indeed a maintenance issue but not due to the incorrect antifreeze mixture. the factory recommended 50-50 mixture is the ideal ratio and should be adhered to in spite of anecdotal evidence posted below. more than likely the freeze plug failure is due to corrosion from infrequent cooling system service. your owners manual recommends an initial antifreeze change at 3 years or 45000 miles and every two years or 24000 miles thereafter. antifreeze does two things... keeps the engine from freezing in winter and also contains corrosion inhibitors and silicates to promote internal engine health. over time the antifreeze properties remain relatively constant but the anti-corrosion compounds break down and are no longer effective which leads to cooling syetm failure thus the need for periodic coolant service. now onto the bs. when a few leak the others are not far behind. there is a few thing you can do to mitagate it thought in future. run more than 50/50 antifreeze for one because 50/50 is not enough somethime for good protection unless you live in the extreme north never run more than a 50-50 mixture of antifreeze and water. a 50-50 mixture of coolant will give you all the corrosion inhibitors you need to keep your cooling system at peak efficiency if it is maintained properly. a 50-50 mixture will provide freeze protection down to -34 degrees f which is adequate for most of the us and canada. if your climate requires you can go to a maximum of 70-30 antifreeze and water but this is rarely needed and offers no benefit other than additional freeze protection. i alway use at leat 60/40 and usually 70/30. i have a 52 year old tractor that i run about 80/20 or more in because i do not want to have to worry about corrosion in it as parts are rare. i have not changed the coolant since i got is over 20 years ago when i put 80/20 of better in it fresh and it is still clean as day i did it and tractor sees about about 30 to 50 hrs of usage a year even today. it never over heat on the even the hottest days bush hogging i do though when i top it off once a year i always use pure antifreeze too this is sheer idiocy. why would you abuse your equipment when using the proper coolant ratio and periodic changes are so easy just because it has worked for you means that you are lucky it doesnt mean that you are correct. you cannot determine through visual inspection the amount or effectiveness of the corrosion inhibitors remaining in the coolant. a hydrometer will only show freeze protection. there will be those that aurgue the higher antifreeze levels are not best but this is simply no true and it will cool fine and protect even better. this is simply not true in spite of your belief that it is. antifreeze is densor and has a higher abilty to abosurb heat to. it does take less energy to boil gycol and convert it to steam than water and hence where the some say water cools better but in a liquid state is takes more energy to raise a gallon of glycol one degree than it does water and therefore more energy to cool it since it stores more heat. this is pure bs! therrmodyamics 101. the ability of a material to conduct heat is called thermal conductivity. it is usually expressed as w/m k. the thermal conductivity of water is .67 and the thermal conductivity of ethylene glycol antifreeze is .25 thus water is significantly better at transferring heat. the ability of a material to store heat is called its specific heat. it is usually expressed as kj/kgk. the specific heat of water is 4.184 and the specific heat of ethylene glycol is 2.38 thus again water is much better at storing heat than antifreeze. only one other liquid comes to mind that is better as a coolant than plain water and that is mercury. you could also use a lower pressure cap to lessen strin on plugs and minimize leaks when they occur. at last a correct statement but this approach is a band-aid at best. i have been using 7 to 9 psi caps for over 20 years and i never have any heating issue even when traveling through the great plains in 100 degree plus heat with 70/30 mixtures as higher levels of gycol also raises boil point too negating the need for higher prssure for boil over prtection. you have not had a problem because of your cleverness you have just relied on dumb luck in theory if you ran pure antifreeze you would not even need a pressure cap as it boil
