Yeah there going to use the plate. My main question is what would cause your freeze plug to blow. is my truck set up wrong? It sure felt strong with only the edge juice on 5. I cant believe I had that much power with only the tuner it was insane. I hope some people out there can give me some good answers so I can figure out whats going on. There fixing it on monday tomorrow. Thanks Guys. p.s my buddy would not give my larry back so I sold it and bought a PPE. Keep in mind my motor is a new long block.

Would a blown head gasket cause a freeze plug to blow???
Does your truck just have headstuds??
how much boost where you running??
Yes most all of the coolant would spew out of the engine.

Where can I locate my freeze plug? I would hate to be under WOT and have mine pop open. How can you re-enforce them to prevent them from popin?
Has anyone ruined an engine from this happening?

the twice I have seen it happen it was with a Smarty/TST stack. cylinder pressure was too high i guess....but occured on 04.5 trucks that I know of....but it happens on other models too.

I blew the plug getting on the freeway. We were just doing a test run just got everything put on the new long block. I want to know why this happened i was not even stacking. My truck blew up a few months ago and I just rebuilt it so i want it to work right. I dont think the boost was that high it couldnt have been I only was running the edge on 5. I need more info on why this would happen. Pl
