Ford F-150 Freeze plug

What’s up guys.
On today’s video I will show you what happen to my truck for not having anti freeze
This is what happen
Truck had a small water leak so every time I was adding antifreeze it was fully leaking out every 3 days to 5 days , I could never found out where the leak was coming from ,
A cold wave hit Texas and because my truck didn’t have antifreeze the water froze and the Freeze plug popped out
This video it’s not exactly a fix I just wanted to upload it just so you guys can see what happen to my truck

actually the truth is, you did really good in view of the fact you didn't even know what to call it. Other KZbins showed easy stuff that anyone would already know. NO ONE showed what to do with a plug back against the firewall that is VERY difficult to reach. The plug you used is known, but only YOU showed it. You did great. Too bad the truck gave you headaches. The video you did was good my friend. Take heart. Lyle in Oregon

Put a COLD freeze plug in and do not pound it. The block should be warm. Once it is down in there start the engine with coolant in it. The freeze plug should warm up and expand from heat and set itself with no hammer needed.

Wow that looks easy on your end I also have F150 four 2001! I do believe my plugs are leaking on the passenger side. The driver side looks at solid be my first time doing it with my wife. Your video was awesome.

When I fix mine, I'm going to Disney World! 😂 Nice job my man. Glad it worked.

I'm just here to tell ya the Jan 2024 freeze got me. Same thing: my truck (1997 F-150 XLT 4.6L V8) leaks somewhere, slowly, and monthly I top the radiator off, often with straight water because it's a beater and I'm a lazy bastard. Well, in the summer it manages not to overheat on straight water. And then this freeze came, and it hit the teens (thanks polar vortex!) and froze my cooling system pretty solid. This blew out the freeze plug behind the driver's side mount in the block. What a hassle. I'm hoping a rubber one like you used will go in without me having to take the motor mount off. This is my secondary vehicle so it's not the end of the world, but it's a hassle. Once I replace this one I can find out if others blew out like the one in this video. We'll see! (I do my own repairs, but I don't wanna.) As I was saying, "well, well, well, if it's not the consequences of my own actions." LMAO.

Did it work? Currently got this problem and don't want to take it to a shop again.

[@JesseEdwards-d1x]

The rubber ones are bad about popping out

3:37 poor trash can 😂 , at least you had fun with the fam at Disney world. Cheers!

[@bernardking6844]

Good video. So did you just run water hose to produce that water? I can'tget anyone over here to look into this but was told mine had the same issue but I'd have to take the motor out or raise it or something...I'm no mechanic by any means but I'm seriously thinking about trying this myself. lol

Premium video i aint know why my truck was peeing everywhere traced it to the same spot but couldnt see what was up there this is exactly what my phone was trying to capture good shit

[@Jay-jt3zy]

Water in your oil is a head gasket problem. That is a freeze plug that will cause your coolant to leak out. You have 2 seperate problem’s

[@morningglory7118]

A $5 part costed me $250 at a shop 😏

[@SanchoGracie]

So your plug was one of the rears? Did it dump into the oil pan & crankcase? I think my issue is one of the front plugs under the timing cover? My dumbass left just water in my 98 5.4 Expedition when I removed the heater hoses to change the nightmare plug #4. I live in northern AZ where it gets very cold (not all of AZ is desert). I filled the truck up with water....then we got 3 days of snow....now I have same issue. 😭😭😭

[@RodneycarrThe]

Having same issue think it has for mine was sitting awhile I believe it’s lower freeze plug behind timing cover

[@bestwestern8877]

Were you getting water into the oil pan too? or straight to the ground?

[@markgonzales5583]

Thanks for sharing that 💪🏼

[@bernardking6844]

@@FixitFelix529 okay, so you just basically ran like a garden hose and ran it in to get the water to come out. I'll try this. Thanks for the video. I was told I had to take the motor half way out...yada yada...lol

So sad you had to sell it. Are you buying another truck?

I already bought a 2018 GMC Sierra and I love it 😊

[@Tmac7099]

How did he remove it?

[@sterlingpennington9549]

You showed everything but you didn't show how you took the old freeze plug out and put the new one in

[@LuisAguilar-sv4ww]

Sorry but I don't think it is smart to replase a metal freeze plug with a rubber spanding plug.

[@malikixavier]

I had to replace 2 of mine over 4 years ago and not a problem one

[@scottjones5455]

I'm sure you know by now, water in your oil is not caused by a bad freeze plug. Bad head gasket or cracked head is the problem.
