Default New Dak owner, please help.

Hi Guys. I just picked up (no pun intended) a 03 Dak QC with 4.7 4x4 AWD.(146,000 miles) I did search the forum so please no flaming.
I cant seem to find where to drain the radiator. Is there a drain **** somewhere where I cant see it?
Also Im planning to drain the axles and cant find info on if the front axle is a limited slip. I assume the rear is since it takes and additive but what about the front.
Since the front diff cover looks to be a PITA to remove I plan to warm up the lube and suck it out the fill hole. Has anyone had problems doing this. I may do the same to the rear Ill have to check the backlash on the drive shaft. If its tight I wont bother removing the cover plate. Also How may quarts are in each axle?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Your front axle is not LSD. They did not come with LSD. Only the rear did and you can tell by looking at the build sheet in your glove box.
