Dumb question here, but where is the drain plug on a 97 Ram with the 318 engine? I've found a plastic cap type plug on the drivers side of the radiator, but it will only turn about 1/4 turn. Is that it and is it suppose to turn further than this. Sorry for the silly question but I haven't seen a drain plug like this before. Thanks.
turn 1/4 turn, then pull out slightly and turn the last 1/4 turn. hook a tube up to the nipple of the drain **** so you don't spill coolant everywhere, the drain **** is very stupidly positioned directly over the frame rail and it splatters coolant everywhere.
I drained my Radiator in the same fashion described here, refilled it, now I have a slow leak, seems like a seal in the drain plug. Is there a way to replace just the plug itself? I would hate to replace the whole radiator. To be more specific it is dripping out of the drain ****. Any suggestions?.?.? And please keep it clean...
