Can you tell me where the freeze plugs are located?My truck froze and I found the plug on the ground. Also I have a brass screw type plug to replace it, are these good? Thank you

The freeze plugs are on the sides of the engine block. I just hope the block didn't crack. As far as the new plug, if it is rubber with the brass nut, yes they are good.

So my Ford explorer ran hot I replace the thermostat and gasket but when I poured antifreeze back in it was coming out from the bottom. Where is it coming from
