So I went on a winter vacation, and forgot to winterize my 1993 f350 (351) when I came home the truck started and ran just fine. I took it to the dump and back, I happened to run out of gas at the station and it was hell to start. It happened a second time before I checked the coolant level. The dump and station are only about a mile and a half apart. So I have not drove it very far. I tried to put water in and it poured out the back somewhere.
First I was told my block was ruined. There is no water in the oil, The water comes out a hole about 2in diam. Which I'm sure is what is called a freeze plug must of been. I found two plugs on the ground where I had beem parked when the block froze.
any helpful advice?
I hear you can buy expandable freeze plugs for a couple of bucks. I can only see the one hole, and have been told there is a plug for each cylinder. I'm sure when I plug te one hole I will find the next one.
