Freeze Plugs

[Big P]

How many sets of freeze plugs are on the head? It looks like there is one set, about 3/4" in diameter above the exhaust manifold and one set about 3/8" in diameter just below. Started the truck up today and it was leaking coolant all over the place at the back of the motor on the passenger side just behind #6 cylinder exhaust port on the head. It looks like the leak is coming from one of these "small freeze plugs". Either way it looks like the monkeys at the dealer will have the head off the motor.

From what I have heard about the freeze plugs coming out, they will replace the whole engine block. I may be wrong, but I think that is the way I heard it.

Definetly not get'in a new block. I talked to the dealer about an hour ago and they confirmed that it was one of the small plugs behind #6. The parts are coming tommorrow and was promised to get the truck back tommorrow afternoon. We'll see.
