Radiator

[97greenmonster]

Does anyone know where the **** on the the radiator is to drain the fluid? Cant find it and have NO idea what it looks like!
thanks!

it's a whitish color towards the bottom on the passenger side

On the back side (engine compartment).
Make sure pressure is relieved, leaving cap off will aid in draining.
It twists anticlockwise to open and clockwise to close. Open enough to let the water out, it's not necessary to totally remove. If the water is hot, it will dribble down your arm.

Ok.. thanks.. i drained the radiator, but, the overflow tank didnt drain.. i put the new coolant in, but the old coke looking coolant remained in the over flow tank!

Try to remove the overflow tank and dump out and rinse it out until fairly clean. Then fill it with the 50%/50% coolant/water mix.

just disconnect the hose from the overflow tank (it connects right next to the radiator cap) and run it straight down by the frame rail, that will allow it to drain.

AH, thanks alot. about how much does it hold?

depends on how full it is, if it's up to the line then about a quart
