Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Where's the petcock?

[socal_rattler]

I feel kinda stupid for asking this, but haven't ever run into this before.



I crawled up under the truck and looked all over the left (passenger) bottom side of the radiator and I can't find the petcock. Do I have to remove the boost hose or the shroud (sp?) to see/access it? Any tips welcome.

I suppose the passenger side is the left side if you face the front of the truck. Look for the petcock on the driver's side.

Drivers sode as you are sitting in the drivers seat. It is in a little half circle shroud built into the left tank of the radiator at the bottom. . Just found mine yesterday.

If you push a length of plastic tubing onto the pet cock nipple, you can drain the coolant directly into a container. Otherwise, if it just dribbles out of the nipple, it gets on everything and makes a mess.
