electrical short - 2001 dakota quad cab

From : bumblebobbie

Q: 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 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
