well we are trying to move into our new house and one of my freeze plugs started leaking does anybody remember what size they are it's the one above the starter it,s on a 6.9 . I haven't been on in awhile do to getting this house and the day we get to move in my truck springs a leak go figure.
Menjonz any parts house should be able to look it up for you. I just installed a new block heater in mine but didn't pay any attention to the exact size.
Seems like these things always happen when you really need your truck.
If You get plugs I implore You to get them from Ford/IH. None of the others will stay in properly. Plus, You need a special tool to install them properly
sorry it took so long to get back we just moved and got the internet up yesterday. it's a freeze plug it doesn't have a block heater i bought this truck in texas for 500 dollars about 5 yrs ago I've never really needed a block heater truck has always started right up with no problems down to 20 degrees thats the coldest the truck has been in so far.I got the tools for the job just needed the freeze plug size. I thought it was 1.5 but just wanted to make sure.now I get to christen my new garage. thanks for the information
The Freeze plugs are not standard plugs. You need the OEM plugs and the proper tool to install them. Or they will come out. Usually when your on a roadie, with a load, going up a 3 mile, 6% grade.
yes I know alot of people don't use the right tool and they dont seal right or properly but having install many freeze plugs with the right tools I have yet to have a problem probly just jinxed myself on that one
