We have seen our fare share of rusted cars and trucks in recent years. Today we had a 98 Dodge Dakota pickup in with a coolant leak. It was the freeze out plug on the right side. You have to drop the front axle down and remove the motor mount and bracket to get to the plug. When we got there, the area around the plug was rusted and eaten away. Not much to work with. After we removed the plug and cleaned the area there was just enough left to seal with a new freeze out plug. I had a talk with the customer about the heavy corrosion on his truck and what may be coming down the road. He said his wife has been bugging him to get a new truck. I said that's half the battle. Rust is a killer. Bill.
