S.O.S. radiator clog

Hello everyone! I have 99 Dakota and I'm trying to complete a radiator flush; but the problem is that the radiator drain valve seems to be clogged. I've read that shooting some compressed air may do the trick. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Andy

Welcome to DF
I wouldn't use compressed air, I would open the petcock, put a drain pan under the radiator and fill with water and then use a pressure test and pump up the system and hope that the radiator unclogged.
