The right rear freeze plug sprug a leak so i got some barr stop leak and that fixed it. This was a month ago. Last week inwas driving home and it was hit so i pulled over . It was pouring anitfreeze out of the same freeze plug. So i let it cool down for a while then I added more coolant and water I got almost to the house and the truck shut off acted like the battery was dead there was no power so I had to get towed home about two days later I took the battery to Advanced Auto Parts and they charged it in a truck started right up I refilled the radiator with water and antifreeze replaced 3 freeze plugs that were already leaking now the truck crank right up I driven it today for the first time no leaks but now there's a rough idle and I have a po171 and po174 which I know is bank one and bank too lean any suggestions on why are you running rough
 
Well it's running rough because it is lean.

The heat may have damaged the intake gaskets. I would start by replacing them.
 
Before replacing the intake gaskets I'd spray some fuel on them to see if the idle smooth's out!
