Ok im working on teardown to do lim gaskets. i have the 33 min vid an have been following that but for somereason they didnt show where to drain the coolant. im to the point where i need to. where is the drain plug at? i thought i knew but cant seem to find it.
 


on the bottom sides just under the fans? i looked there an couldnt figure it out thats where i thought though. an yea i know about oil. thats a bit down the road yet but thanks for the headsup on it.
 
The drain plug on the radiator is on the drivers side, bottom part of the radiator, it can be a bit difficult to find, but its there. Alternatively, and quite a bit more messy, you can just pull the lower radiator hose and drain it that way.
 
Its a weird set up. I believe it takes a 3/8" extension (I guess it could be 1/4", but for some reason I remember it being 3/8"), just the square end of the extension, and you put that in and then twist and pull. Its a strange set up indeed, and it will come out with a little finagling. The new radiator I have has a wing nut on it and I like that SOOOO much more.
 


O alright that sounds like alot easier than the suggestion i found googling that wasnt working which was needlenose pliers

I guess our radiators are different. Mine has a wing nut and is also shaped like a 3/4" hex head so you can just slap a socket on it. Twist a quarter turn and it drains out the drain hole in the bottom.
 
^ wish it had been that simple for mine. but anyway project is done. i had some setbacks on the way. had to get new injector o rings since mine were rock hard and also had to drive half hour away to get the 2 coolent seals that go on top of the lim between it and the blower cause that was the closest location that had 2 of them. after all that it was finished. started it up an noticed oil dripping onto the front header lookedf an the rockerbox gasket was hangin out in 2 spots not sue how it happened since i never touched it but my guess is had to do with another f#$% up by the dealer when they did the recall so then i had to go get a new rockerbox so did that put everything back on again an then finally the project was complete an now it runs a whole lot better.
 


You may want to clean your stock coolant sensor. Mine stayed on after I did mine. Other than that glad to hear you got everything worked out.
