Stallion antifreeze leak

[FaithRider]

I caught this early on mine, I noticed the factory plug began to crack after about a year. Then shortly afterward somebody posted about the plug failing. I used a piece of hose and steel plug, this will be there when everything else is gone. It pays to put the machine on ramps occasionally and look around under there.

Wow, I just read your post. I had the exact same problem and believe it or not I ran to the auto parts store and showed them a picture of the plug and they told me they did not have anything like that so he gave me a piece of heater hose and I bought some clamps and put a steel plug in one end and used that to stop the leak. The cap just dry rotted and cracked. I did go one step further - I got on ebay and found where someone was selling a set of two 5/8" and two 3/4" caps for $7.00. I purchased and installed them. Works like a champ.

I just got back from a 2000 mile trip. I filled the antifreeze to the center line on the tank and now it's about
1 1/4" down. I have replaced the two caps with heater delete caps for water pumps, so I know there are no leaks there. I don't see any drips or smell anything. Any ideas? Thx Rick

I'd check for brake fluid also....

Design defect of radiator

My service guys told me my radiator was cracked due to what Stallion said was a design flaw. After consulting with Stallion, it was fixed.
