Default 3.7L Engine Coolant Flush

Does anybody know how to drain the antifreeze. I found a small plastic turn **** on the drivers side of the radiator. I opened it and it drained out a little bit but not all of it. Do I just pull the thermostat housing off and let all the fluid gush out from there?

No, open the drain plug and make sure it is all the way open. you may need to let the motor run for a minute to push out the coolant inside the motor. As long as you only let it run a minute or two and watch the temp guage it wont hurt the motor.
