I have looked all over my engine and can't find the drain plug on the block of my truck. I'm having overheating problems. Have done all the easiest things that I know of to do. I want to flush the engine and can not find this plug. I have a chilton manual but it isn't where the manual says it is... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

First. Bookmark the online Fsm and throw the chilton in the trash.

Second. Check out this diagram.

Looks like the coolant drain plug for a 2/3RZ is going to be on the right side (passenger) forward of the oil filter.

 

Also, for when your done. The torque specs call for 18ft #'s on that plug.

 

wow, scuba must like you!

 

It's like this...

If I don't know the info myself.. I'll take a moment and try to figure it out for.. With the tons of info we have at our fingertips it's hard not to find it. Plus, then I know the answer so that later on if/ when I need to find said coolant drain plug.. I'll know where it'll be hiding.

Oh and, I'm bored at work

 

Scuba, Thanks so much for the info! I really appreciate it. NWRunner, I'm glad he does like me. I've been looking for that drain plug all day.

 

Wait a minute!! Y'all are putting words in my mouth!


Glad I could help!

 

hahaha. But like Scuba said, download the FSM and toss the Chilton. That was the best thing ive done.
