I see the illustration of the block plugs to drain the block in the service manual but I can't locate them in my truck! 1998 1500 with 360. 4x2. Can anyone help me locate these? Putting in a new water pump so I wanted to completely drain.

Thanks,
Matt

 

I had a post with a pic of them circled in green, but I can't find it now. I'll keep digging

 

Here it is!

I saw that illustration but for some reason my engine doesn't seem the same. I had so much going on today I was probably distracted. Got the pump in but filled with water so I can drain again in a week or two. So I'll go in again then.

Thanks

 

they're tucked behind the engine mounts, near the bottom of the block.
they can be rusted in real tight, so spray with pb-blaster, wd-40, etc.
they also round off easy, so if they don't come out easy, clamp on a really good pair of vise grips to get them out.
