I was going to flush out the old anti-freeze and replace since it is over 6 years old. I started looking at how to drain it, couldn't get the bottom radiator hose off, looked for and found the radiator petcock but instead of finding the typical screwed plug for the petcock, it has a weird bulb looking thing in the middle of a plastic plug. I had no idea on how to remove it, so I just did a check with the anti-freeze and it tops out on my freeze protection/boilover protection @-47F which is as high as the tester goes. It says 50/50 solution is good for -37.
Anyone know how to remove the pet cock so I can drain the radiator. The truck only has 47K miles on it and the mileage between changes is 150K so mileage wise it is still good, just timed out just like my oil changes. I have already bought 2 gallons of Prestone anti-freeze that says it works for all colors but it isn't Dex-cool as GM recommends. Anyone of the opinion that I should return it and get the Dexcool (orange color)
