Why would a freeze plug on a 98 cavalier with 71K miles burst while in Hawaii And how much would you pay to fix the problem?
Rust and corrosion are hard on freeze plugs. In a temperate climate one might be tempted to not use anti-freeze coolant in the engine, but that's a mistake, since the water just speeds up the rust. With the salt air and humidity always working on anything that rusts, a freeze plug will easily rust through. Cost of repairing the freeze plug will vary greatly, depending on what needs to be removed to get to it. If the freeze plug is RIGHT THERE, with nothing in the way, it might cost you $20.00. If it's behind the starter, a motor mount, the air conditioner compressor or something else that's likely to be difficult to remove, replacing the freeze plug could cost a couple hundred dollars. The freeze plug itself is cheap. A couple dollars at most. But getting to it can be anywhere from simple to a major operation.
How do you install an engine block heater 2004 Chevy trail blazer V6-4.2L?
First check and see if there is a pouch located directly beside your battery. If there is a pouch it will contain a plug that is for the factory engine block heater. If there is no plug then you can pursue an aftermarket type. There are several types. If you want to use a freeze plug block heater, you'll need to have someone help you remove a freeze plug. That usually requires that you remove a lot of the peripheral equipment until you can get a clear access to one of the freeze plugs. Measure the freeze plug then go to an auto parts store and purchase a freeze plug block heater of that specific size. Once you have one that will fit into the hole, you can drill a hole in the freeze plug, then use a prying instrument to remove the old freeze plug. The block heater freeze plug usually goes in with a nut to tighten the freeze plug into the hole. BTW, you'll get a lot of antifreeze all over when you do this, and plan on taking your time since it will be time consuming.
