 Subject: Need help on how to drain radiator
IP: Logged
Message:
I've located the draincock on the driver's lower tow hook area. The problem is it only drains very little out. Is there another draincock where I can drain the radiator fully. I need to replace the old fluid and put in new stuff. Thanks for your help.

if you didnt take the cap off, that will keep it from draining very fast or you might have some gunk stopping up the drain.usually rust.

If you are wanting to flush your system I suggest you visit local parts store or local Wal-Mart and get Prestone flush kit and follow directions on back. This will remove all the old anti-freeze from heater core,block and everything which if you are switching from the green anti-freeze to the orange long life stuff you have to do. Can't mix the two.

Beware the orange antifreeze!
My dad has a 94 blazer and a 2001 trailblazer
put the orange stuff into the 94 blazer and instantly got a water pump leak.
GM has had lots of problems with the orange stuff and I'm pretty sure they took it out of the trailblzer.
I'd stick to the ol' reliable green stuff.
Just some thoughts!
