draining engine coolant????

where is the draincock located? Call me stupid --- I can't find it. I've read the tech article, but it does not show where the draincock is on a 2000 LS V6???? PLEASE help

it's right in the lower passanger corner - it's a white hex keyed plug. You only loosen it enough to allow the coolant to drain out of the pipe just above it.

When replacing be very careful. I had to buy a new one last time because I over tightened the little plastic bolt just a hair too much and it broke.

Is it in the front or the back?

? not sure what you are asking...

it's in the bottom of the passenger side of the radiator... at the front of the car.

That is not as frustrating as breaking one when you are trying loosen it to drain the rad. I had two break in succession on my mustang gt. The third one I put a little anti seize on the threads and sealing ring, so it will release with less effort.
