* Engine Variations: There might be slight differences in the number of freeze plugs depending on the specific engine configuration (e.g., whether it's a Magnum or a 5.9L with different emissions systems).
* Model Year Specifics: There could be subtle changes in the design over the 2000 model year that affect the number of freeze plugs.
How to Find the Answer:
1. Consult Your Owner's Manual: Check the maintenance section of your owner's manual.
2. Search Online: Search for your specific model year and engine on forums or websites like Chilton or Haynes.
3. Visit a Parts Store: Talk to a parts specialist at an auto parts store; they can usually provide information on engine components.
4. Consult a Mechanic: A qualified mechanic can inspect your engine and tell you exactly how many freeze plugs are present.
Important Note: Never remove freeze plugs without a valid reason. They play a vital role in preventing the engine from freezing in cold temperatures.
