Radiator Drain Plugs?

[Gaowlpoop]

I have a 2016, 4540 four wheel drive with a loader. I have been trying to find a radiator and/or block drain with zero success.

Could someone give me a detailed description of where they are located? A picture would be nice as well.

I looked in the owners manual (?) with no luck.

Radiator drain is at the bottom , side or back side near the radiator shroud

Thank you Peter 315, it was right where you said it was. I could not find it because there is 2 hydrolic lines, two bundles of wires and a vent hose covering it. Needless to say tha it can not be opened.

I found another way of draining the cooling system however. On the right side of the engine (sitting in the drivers seat), just behind the radiator, there is a fitting screwed into an iron casting. The casting is in the coolest return line. I took the fitting, a plug, out of the casting and replaced it with drain cock. I used a 3/4x 3/8 bushing to get the right size for the drain.

Be forewarned that if you decide to do this, you will have to take the casting out, as the plug is SO THGHT you will most likely have to get it in a vice to take it out. It is amazing to me that the casting did not crack it was so tight.
