The freeze plug on a 1994 GMC Sonoma 2.2L engine is typically located on the engine block, often on the sides and rear of the engine. To change a freeze plug, first drain the coolant, then use a punch or chisel to carefully remove the old freeze plug. Clean the area, apply a sealant if desired, and tap the new freeze plug into place, ensuring it’s flush with the block. Finally, refill the coolant and check for leaks.

To change the freeze plugs in a 2002 Ford Explorer, first, drain the engine coolant and remove any obstructions, such as the intake manifold if necessary. Then, use a suitable tool to carefully pry out the old freeze plugs. Clean the area where the new plugs will be installed, and tap in the new freeze plugs with a hammer, ensuring they are seated evenly. Finally, refill the coolant and check for leaks before starting the engine.
With the freeze plug out it will be impossible to keep water and coolant in the engine as it will all leak out through the freeze plug hole. The engine will over heat and self destruct after a while.
