Ford Repair: 1990 ford ranger, frost plugs, frost plug


Question
My ranger has been sitting for a while and I added anti-freeze but it just poored out. I think it is coming out of the freeze plugs. I just dont know where they are all located and how to actually change them out. What tools do I need? If I cant complete this task what is the average price to get these fixed?

Answer
go get a universal frost plug kit.. the kit will come with a paper that tells you where your frost plugs are located on the ranger. You simple and gently tap the old plug out with a punch and hammer be gentle not to push it down inside the motor, remember you are going to have coolant draining at this point.  Then take your universal plug and it fits right back in the hole, just tighten the screw in the center of the plug to secure it, do not over tighten! torque spec will be on the paper that the plug came with.
