My son-in-law was draining the old antifreeze from his Chrysler Town and Country 3.8L van. It was flowing very slowly so he tried backing (forcing) the plug out a little more, wahm ! it came out of the hole. It will not go back in.
We puchased a new plug, it goes in all the way and tightens, but, it won't stop the flow of water from coming out of the spigott. There is a good "O" ring on the new plug, it seems to go in too far though. It goes in with a twist, I can feel the thread grab, it follows all the way until tight...it loosens easily and could fall out with vibration. Someone help, please. Can I buy a metal plug for a better fit?

the drain plug you bought was probably wrong. get one from a dealer to be sure you get the right one.

The Drain and the Fitting it Threads into are "Silver Soldered" into the Bottom of the Radiator as "One Unit". He Broke it! Really the only solution is a Good Radiator Shop to Replace the Drain!

Did you replace the clip inside the radiator. You can pull it out with needle nose and buy a replacement.I think this will fix your problem Just push the new one in you will feel it click when it is in your radiator should have plastic tanks
