I don't have one, I bought a new one, so I wanna install that one.. So, where should I put it, and how do I take a freeze plug out without yanking out my Haynes manual?

:oops:

in the picture it will show that the only way to go is in the rear because the engine mounts cover the first 2

Thanks.. I can already tell that's gonna be a biatch of a job.. #-o

Also, should I try drinking the coolant that pours out? :razz:

no its easy just tap one side of the plug in to turn it and pull it out with pliers and install the new one with sealant, its a super easy job. I am sure you will have no trouble at all, but like anything a little learning curve is required

The rear freeze plug on the drivers side seems the most accessable.

Every block heater I ever put in (in AK, not TX :wink: ) was an inline type that you just place in the heater core hose like you do with the flush kits. Not sure I'd want something hanging off the freeze plug opening. I had one of those expandable rubber sealing replacement core plugs in the back of the head once and when that sucker let loose on the freeway I shut down pronto. But then, I've never seen the kind you're talking about. 111!!!
