| 1500 4x4 i purchased a 1996 dodge truck, and up until now i haven't had any problems. i have replaced almost every single freeze plug on the engine except for the ones on the front of the engine. these failures have all been within 2 months of each other. i expect the front ones to fail in the next two months. i have talked to a few mechanics, and they say these shouldn't be wearing out as fast as they are. | |||
