Question

Help answer this question below.

I have a 1992 3.0L Ford Ranger Pick-up that uses anti-freeze. It doesn't "leak" anti-freeze, it consumes it at about 2 quarts per 5,000 miles. Would this be a bad gasket or seal where? The oil level is stable to falling, so it isn't going into the oil.

    Due to my experience with a Ford I would guess that you have a cracked head gasket. Look for a white fog coming from your exhaust - especially when you start the engine. You could be burning the coolant in the engine.

    I had this problem. after a determined search, i discovered a faulty freeze plug was the culprit.

    It was a mistake made at the factory, when the vehicle was manufactured.

    Freeze plugs are hard to locate. it may take your vehicle being on a car lift, in order to locate the problem.
