Chevy Uplander and Others> Radiator Drain Plug?

[LargeCarManX2]

On my Ford Windstar "may she rest in peace" the radiator had no drain plug. I would just pull the lower hose to drain the radiator. I just took a quick look at the bottom of the new/used 2005 Uplander we just bought. Can't see a drain plug? Does it have one?

What is the flushing or draining procedure on this vechiles? I am going to keep with Prestone Dexcool on this one.

I always pull the lower rad. hose even if there is a drain plug just because it's faster.

Many newer g m cars do not have a radiator drain plug

I have a 2005 Saturn Relay and the rad drain on the back of the radiator not on the bottom of the radiator, slightly higher up it is white plastic and you can see and reach it when vehicle is on ramps...........

I dislike not supplying a radiator drain. I think the radiator drain being on the opposite side of the fill on a crossflow radiator somewhat aided flushing the radiator. I guess one could remove the top hose and flush the radiator out from there.
