Question
Would like to flush radiator-can't find or access drain plug. Does radiator mounting accessories and or fan guard need to be removed to access this?

Answer
Hi Jim,
I believe it is on the drivers side, at the bottom of the tank.
Probably a wierd looking "plug", actually more of a valve.

I like to just remove the lower radiator hose, cause you can get a larger, faster slug of coolant out, carrying more crud.

I have been maintaining a fleet of approximately 55 light, medium and heavy vehicles for over 20 years. Most are 4X4 pickups and off road fire fighting trucks. Some medium duty trucks. Some military light trucks. I can answer most questions concerning 4X4 engine, drive line, suspension, electrical, and fuel, both diesel and gasoline. Ford, GM, and Dodge, old and new, but prefferably not newer than 99.
