Guys,

My wife had purchased a 2000 Dakota with a 5.9L before we got married. Iwent to flush the cooling system on Friday and the little handle is broke off of the drain petcock. The tough part on this radiator is neither hose really connects to the bottom of the radiator, so without the petcock the radiator can't truly be drained without removal.

Does anyone have a damaged or removed 2000 Dakota 5.9L radiator where they would want to sell just the drain ****? If you have one and want to sell this piece, please let me know. Just click on my ID and send me an email. Also, does anyone know of a supplier for these little drain *****? I searched through Dorman products on line but they don't have one for this application. Thanks a bunch!

I would try napa or a junkyard. or if it comes down to it, buy a new rad and take the petcock off it and return it
