Radiator drain plug Which way is open on 94 dodge 2500 pickup Apparently its stopped up but don't want to lose antifreeze if unstops itself?
if drain plug is stopped up, u need to lose antifreeze and flush radiator and then replace with new antifreeze as obviously the radiator and coolant are dirty or drain plug would not stop up

You smell antifreeze when running the heater?
May have a bad heater coil or a lose coolant hose clamp near fire wall.
Can extended life antifreeze be added to regular antifreeze?
Yes and no. When extended life antifreeze first became popular (GM's silicate-free Dexcool, aka "the orange stuff"), mixing the two types was not recommended because you would lose all benefits of the extended life antifreeze. Recently, several manufacturers have come out with extended life antifreeze that can be mixed with the original "green" stuff. To further confuse you, the 'new' extended life antifreeze is generally also green. And Dexcool approved orange coolants are also still available. Without a complete flush of the system, however, I'm not sure the extended life antifreeze of any color will buy you more time. But it will work the same as regular antifreeze.

Why does your 97 Dodge Ram lose antifreeze?
Vehicles lose antifreeze because they loose coolant. You have a 13 year old vehicle. Your radiator and heater hoses may be leaking and should have been changed from original equipment by now. If they have not, change them before you are on the highway and they break. After that is done, and if you are still losing antifreeze, we will look for the leak. When you start up, does white smoke come out the tail pipe? If so, you will need to check your head gasket. You will need to look around your water pump and radiator for leaks.
