Re: coolant crossover plug for sale
I just drilled 3 holes 3/16" in a stock replacement 180 thermostat and have the fan overide switch so no need to burp and runs much cooler between rounds at the strip. I run the fan with motor off for 5 min at a time and then start motor to cycle the coolant for approx. 30 seconds and then repeat a few time before my next pass with the heat on 1 line of stock temp gauge...

Re: Part number for coolant crossover plug
Ha I wish I could get mine out . I think the extractor was about to break before I was going to budge that stud. Just wound up drilling a hole, tapping it and plugged it with a bolt lol.

Metal? coolant crossover plug
Sorry to bring back this from the dead, but is the plug made of metal? I had it off less than 60,000 miles ago but can't remember. I wanna say it is.
Can't I weld a nut on top if I can't break it loose?--yes I used anti-seize I figure that or try heating just below it or both. My non-mechanic dumb partially self stripped the 1/4 drive slot (thanks for the small hole Ford). I have a stainless replacement one on the way from Ebay.

But to answer your question, yes I believe you could weld a nut on the top. |

Thanks--stuck coolant crossover plug
Yes I tried that but I think my vise grips I own are to puny. The "teeth" are where it won't grip that lip good without trying to grab the down tube
I am also thinking maybe if I take the large coolant hose off & spray PB Blaster up in there that might help. It is tough to get it just under that lip! I also bought a butane torch to help heat that up, but may leave that to my welder friend since I have already screwed up once Thanks for the tip

Success for stuck coolant crossover plug
Well the right vise grips & a chisel finally broke it free! Took 4 hands 😮
Replaced with stainless steel with some antiseize on it. Replaced original T-stat with a Motorcraft replacement & MC gold coolant Thanks everyone 👍

Re: Part number for coolant crossover plug
Glad you got it. Sounds like that puppy had never been removed before.

Stuck plug:coolant crossover plug
It had been off only about 60000 miles ago, but since I don't drive much it had been like 6 years! I just realized that when I looked at my maint log. Shame on me!
Time to put that in my maint. log that keeps up with miles/age

Re: Part number for coolant crossover plug
FYI 2018: Most of the links to where to buy these no longer work in this thread BUT a guy on ebay sells stainless plugs for our cars And all of the major aftermarket parts places for stangs sell a similar to OE plug.
