1500 4X4 I purchased a 1996 dodge truck, and up until now I haven't had any problems. I have replaced almost every single freeze plug on the engine except for the ones on the front of the engine. these failures have all been within 2 months of each other. I expect the front ones to fail in the next two months. I have talked to a few mechanics, and they say these shouldn't be wearing out as fast as they are.
