This months Trailer Life Magazine had a write up on the 5.9 Cummins engine, the write up covered at least 6 or 7 pages.

As I read the article all 5.9 Cummins engine block coolant plugs rust out. The article did not place our truck engines in a very good light.

I had the coolant changed in my 2005 dodge diesel truck at 5 year intervals with Dodge approved antifreeze and distilled water.

So far, I have had no problems with the cooling system. However, after reading the article I will keep a bit closer eye on the motor block freeze plugs.

Have any of you guys had problems with the freeze plugs rusting out and leaking coolant????
