tom lawrence wrote on a 2000 dakota with 3.7 v6 engine where would i find the radiator drain petcock same place as it is on most all radiators - lower-left drivers-side corner of the radiator facing the engine. turn it 1/4-turn counter-clockwise while pulling it out. have a drain hose hooked up to the plastic nipple and drain it into a bucket. removing the radiator cap will allow it to drain much faster. i thought most petcocks were reverse thread so you dont accidentally back the bung out of the radiator when opening. is the dodge different .
