    The drain plug is on the bottom drivers side of the radiator. It is a tough little valve to get at.

    I did my dexcool removal a few weeks ago. I draind then flushed with water for several minutes. Refilled with water and preston super flush and ran it for a day. Then drained and flushed again. Did this 3 times.

    I then used 1 gallon of 100% green antifreeze since there was water in the block that would blend with the straight antifreeze. The rest was filled with 50/50 green.

    Thanks for the info. and advice. Yes, exactly 4 quarts drained before pump change. It took 7 quarts to fill radiator and overflow reservoir to cold mark. I just have to decide just as you stated, whether to drain a little, add water, and live with it. Or, if I do decide to flush it all out, I think I will go with the green. Thanks again.
