2008 ford ranger XLT 4X4 keeps going through core plugs
Hey there I've gone through 3 frost plugs/block heaters in about 2 months and it looks like I'm about to go through my 4th very soon here. I bought the truck with 172000 kilometers and got the thermostat housing replaced with an aluminum one at about 178000 kilometers and since then I've had 3 block heaters go out on me. I've had them replaced by independent mechanics first 2 times and the last time had it done at a ford dealership. I'm really at a loss for what to do here as I love the truck and other than this it is mechanically sound and has low kilometers. I've attached a photo of the leaking plug as well. Any help on what could be causing this or what to do would be appreciated thank you.
