2006 Yukon XL Denali...due to a long sad story, does anyone have a diagram or could give me a good description of the locations of all the freeze/core plugs in the Vortec 6.0L? Engine was in unheated location being repaired and had no antifreeze and now will not hold liquid. We found the front plug nearest to the coolant reservoir had popped, and it was replaced, but there are at least one additional plugs compromised. Radiator is being replaced, but gotta stop the water flow before coolant can be added, and temps here could go back down at any time! Thanks!
