Six cylinder two wheel drive automatic 70,000 miles.

I need to replace the freeze plugs. Where are the freeze plugs located, and what will I have to do to replace it?

They are located in the block on either bank. Usually behind the exhaust manifold. A couple are in the front and rear on the block. You will need to remove the engine mounts and rent an installation tool. Drain the coolant first but more will come out when you punch the plug inward.
