    HOW TO-DIY coolant plugs to petcocks

    Yep, IDIbronco, your right, it is my choice and you make a good point, and since I haven't tried it personally, I still don't know which is the best option for me but now, I have some food for thought either way. The reason I posted this is because there is not ANY contrasting opinion about...

    HOW TO-DIY coolant plugs to petcocks

    Now, here is another take from another user on another forum but he has a really good point. Although modding the block coolant drain plugs over and installing petcocks (not to be confused, with PEACOCKS, btw, lol) is a convenient upgrade on first thought, the orifice of the inside of the 1/4"...

    HOW TO-DIY coolant plugs to petcocks

    Ok, so some others from different forums also chimed in. Thought I'd revise my plan a bit and post it. So, from others suggestions, I won't be letting the well water sit with the prestone flush for any more than the same day when I do the complete multiple flush and refill, so it won't rust the...

    Here is a similar (below) to the Gear Reduction Starter to what I received from DB Electrical for only $96.00. The one in the link below is almost 3X more? Why do some companies charge so much more for these when they are so similar? This starter is a gear reduction but is $380.00! Note-Reason...

    Was just searching the threads for this just now. BTW, do you recommend OK GRINGO 1/4" NPT petcocks or any another brand? I don't have the factory plugs out yet so knowing the size beforehand is a plus Thanks, IDIBRONCO Sent from my SM-T567V using Tapatalk
