Location of engine coolant drain plugs

Postby Maddog [OP] » September 15th 2020, 10:24pm

I noticed several people trying to determine where the antifreeze drain plugs are on the 4.3l engine block. So I threw together a video that will hopefully help the visual oriented readers to find these drain plugs. Hope it’s of some use to people!
