I am looking at a dirt cheap 5.2 zj tomorrow. The owner says it needs a freeze plug. What kinda pain in the balls will replacing that be, on a scale of 1-10. AND, if it isnt leaking too bad should it be ok to drive 45 mins home?

yeah, they are easy to replace but a mother father to get too properly. if its a small leak you can try a "stop leak" type product and see if that works, or at least bring some for the ride home. to replace you hammer then in then pry them out"when I'm riding my motorcycle,I'm glad to be alive...when I stop riding my motorcycle,I'm glad to be alive"

as far as the rubber plugs.. dont even think of using them, they will work for a little while but give it time and that shit will be leaking right out.Originally posted by Ktmracer419some people choose video games
