JoeH Posted Monday at 02:09 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:09 PM Coolant drain is a petcock on the lower radiator hose/tube. Approximate location is under the alternator. I assume this is the petcock you're attempting to get coolant out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir there’s the radiator hose that runs to the cooler then there’s a set of transmission lines that goes to the cooler and a line that runs to the reservoir tank on the firewall all comes off the cooler that the petcock is in but can’t get anything to come out when I open it or even take it out im thinking that it’s only cooling part of the system since it seems stopped up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir couldn’t get anything in it and didn’t want chance putting a hole in it I think I’ll just remove the cooler and see what’s going on I price it online 1200 smh lol but I know it’ll make a difference in the temp I’m sure it runs around 180 all the time looking at gauge but it’s not cooling the entire motor I worked it today put my hand on the radiator hose (bottom) and it’s hot put my hand on transmission lines just warm and the cooler is not hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted Monday at 10:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:32 PM maybe you will find a clog and clean it out for re-use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeH Posted yesterday at 02:21 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:21 AM My '95 is only a 350, doesn't have that trans cooler thing. Dumb question, is it actually plumbed with coolant or has it been bypassed? Again, I'm sure that's a dumb question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it’s plumbed with coolant it has a radiator coming from lower radiator that goes to it then another radiator hose off the top that goes to the oil cooler As well I believe it has 5/6 different hoses that comes off of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adkat Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Yeah that thing looks like a headache. Most of our trucks over here run a cooler in front of, or below, the radiator. Kinda the same as this. At least there can't be any contamination of fluids if it fails. Easy enough to swap out your one with a piece of pipe and run some hose extension to mount a cooler up front.
