High Side A/C line leak

From : mdibiofuel

Q: i will never understand by now why the manufacturers are not installing brass plugs from the factory. i just replace 3 of the 6 on my 1983 f-250 and not sure how to get one of the three on the other side without removing the engine. these things just seem to rust no mater what you are running in the radiator. ron joeysamone wrote 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. .

you want an answer its because youre an asshole as i expected unable to answer even a simple question. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving oh poor widdle t-boner hes being picked on poor baby god forbid anybody disagree with you on anything. your 60 second wide open stall condition just makes no sense. if the truck cannot move under full throttle then it will never pull the boat up the ramp never mind 60 seconds. now i see that there were two others that also didnt agree with what you said but i see no negative response from you to them why not i also said that it was my o p i n i o n that if the transmission cannot deal with some strain on occasion then it should not be in a truck not a recommendation to anyone and others have agreed. grow up dude. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving you need to come over to our local lake and watch and listen some sunday evening but hey you know it all you advise everyone on their transmission problems ill just sit back and punch holes in your advice from here on out ok go for it bucko you seem to know almost as much as front pump snoman you really need to step within the realm of reality gary. the 60 seconds that i gave is really about 4 times the actual time it takes to pull a boat up the ramp at least all of the ones that i used and why would you ever use full throttle if the ramp it that steep or the truck is that under powered for the boat that you are trying to launch then even a trans cooler is not going to help you not to mention that if you really needed full throttle i doubt that you would ever get enough traction to pull the boat out even with 4 wheel drive. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving go ahead do a full-throttle stall on the transmission of your choice for a full sixty seconds several times a month none of them will handle it without auxiliary cooling and regular fluid changes tc temps can spike in the 4-500 degree range under those conditions he need a realistic gear ratio in the ass-end and probably 4wd to deal with wet ramps plus a honking big cooler a 4wd pan if its 2wd and maybe a 50-50 mix of the recommended fluid and mobilone 5-20 synthetic engine oil in it i may be no transmission expert but i must say that if the trans is really that wimpy that it cant take around 60 seconds worth of effort a few times a month without damage then it really has no business being in a truck at all. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving its not the 1 mile to and from thats gonna kill the transmission its the full-stall start on a ramp with no forward speed to help cool it mac davis mac.davis@splinters.comcast.net wrote in message on 14 jun 2005 115414 -0700 hubmachineatgmail.com hubmachine@gmail.com wrote mac thanks for your reply. i was wondering if i might need a transmission cooler. what size would you recommend the boat is on a dual axle trailer twin 115 outboards. would you recommend a brand cliff hubbard wow thats a lot of boat! the trailer must weight about what my boat did.. lol like some others have said if youre only hauling it 1 mile each way i dont think you need a cooler... the problem would be your initial tow to bring it home... and it might be cheaper to rent a truck or borrow a friends and fill the tank than t add something to your truck that you dont need..ymmv mac please remove splinters before emailing .

go ahead do a full-throttle stall on the transmission of your choice for a full sixty seconds several times a month none of them will handle it without auxiliary cooling and regular fluid changes tc temps can spike in the 4-500 degree range under those conditions he need a realistic gear ratio in the ass-end and probably 4wd to deal with wet ramps plus a honking big cooler a 4wd pan if its 2wd and maybe a 50-50 mix of the recommended fluid and mobilone 5-20 synthetic engine oil in it i may be no transmission expert but i must say that if the trans is really that wimpy that it cant take around 60 seconds worth of effort a few times a month without damage then it really has no business being in a truck at all. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving its not the 1 mile to and from thats gonna kill the transmission its the full-stall start on a ramp with no forward speed to help cool it on 14 jun 2005 115414 -0700 hubmachineatgmail.com hubmachine@gmail.com wrote mac thanks for your reply. i was wondering if i might need a transmission cooler. what size would you recommend the boat is on a dual axle trailer twin 115 outboards. would you recommend a brand cliff hubbard wow thats a lot of boat! the trailer must weight about what my boat did.. lol like some others have said if youre only hauling it 1 mile each way i dont think you need a cooler... the problem would be your initial tow to bring it home... and it might be cheaper to rent a truck or borrow a friends and fill the tank than t add something to your truck that you dont need..ymmv mac please remove splinters before emailing .
