I would pull the engine and replace all the freeze plugs and fix any oil leaks while it was out. Thats just me and pulling the engine out of a jeep cant be any worse than pulling the engine on my diesel pick up.

Decided to go ahead and pull just the motor. Going to place freeze plugs, oil filter, water pump, and maybe a gasket or two...

While you have the engine out, you should definitely flush the block while you're at it!

2 years ago I bought a 94 ranger as my first truck... Same problem it need freeze plugs, at 280k it was still solid as a rock when I sold it. Freeze plugs rust out over time, it happens.
Flush it how? I'm flushing all the lines that had rusty water in it if that's what you mean.
