Default Draining coolant...

what's the best way to do it? I have my wifes 2002 dak that needs a t-stat gasket change so i'm going to swap the t-stat & flush the coolant while i'm at it. I found the drian plug on the DS of the radiator however there is no spot to hook up a drian tube like on my 2000 5.9 truck.

has anyone written any DIY articles on this yet?

thanks

Ok, found the drain nipple, connected a hose to it for the drain so I guess i'm good to go.

I go to work down Hazel to 50 then make it to West Sac......I even leave early in the morning so I can beat the traffic and cruise at 70+ most the way at 6:30am.....it is weird I notice your side od the freeway really gets backed up in the mornings....got to love the rubber neckers and the guys on bikes that split traffic and get smacked to the ground hehe....all in all I guess that is the Rob, Arnie and Dawn show makes the Sactown commute better......hope ya have a good 4th.....think we are gonna get brave and do CaliExpo or we might go down to SF
