that is what happened to the first engine in my 4x4. When I put the second engine in I replaced the screw with a stainless one and then JB Welded the heater into the block. I fixed on down here by making a circle out of 1/8 inch plate and using lock-stitch bolts to permanently fix the problem. Guy hasn't had a single drop leak from it in 2 years now

I would probly burn it then! i cant stand new vehicles, i hate working on them, i have to work on my step dads Camaro Z28 with the LT1 in it, those things are crazy, you cant even see the plug wires or distributor from the top of the engine:eek:

yeah.. new vehicles suck, but they sure can be fun to drive :)

That rubber freeze plug will be fine, the anti freeze doesnt attack them but the oil in barsleak does. Just get a 7lb radiator cap and enjoy.

That's good to know, as I often venture out 4-digit-distance away6 from from my base of operations.

you should be happy it did it this way instead of driving down the interstate where you probably wouldn't have noticed it till it overheated. But honestly lets suck it up a little you rag on your trucks and then get bent out of shape when they break. You gotta pay to play
