Changing antifreeze
Hi I'm new here and new to owning a Dodge. I just bought a 02 Dakota Quad cab X 3.9 with 46,000 miles. It's quite a upgrade from my 98 Nissan Frontier X. I hope I have as good luck with the Dodge as I did with the Nissan 140,000 miles and 1 alternator [:@]. I want to change my antifreeze but were is the drain for rad.
Thanks Tom

RE: Changing antifreeze
When you find the drain plug for the radiator, do a complete flush out to get rid of the old coolant mixture. Then refill with an extended life coolant. It'll save corrosion of the radiator and save seals and impellers in the water pump plus protect the engine better. Make sure you read and mix the coolant according to it's specific ratio for the type of driving you do and weather the vehicle will operate in. I personnally use DEXCOOL by Prestone.
