radiator drain plug

[kreatos909]

hello, everyone, i can't seem to find the drain plug for the radiator on my 95 cherokee country, 2wd, 4.0. i've never drained it before so i don't know,

They're usually on the driver side lower corner by the electricfan.

i just looked and i didn't see it, looks like a normal drain plug correct???, or is it above where my steering column thing go into??, and is the lower radiator hose supposed to have a spring in it?

Yes, its a normal drain plug. On the bottom corner of the driver side radiator, look for a small piece of rubber hose thats tucked away. This is the drain tube and above it should be the petcock for the drain. Not all radiator hoses have a coil in it.

Mine is on the passengers side down low. I never mess with it. I put a big pan under the drivers side and disconnect the lower radiator hose on the pump end (or the radiator end if you want to remove the air box). Then wash down the area, with a little clean water. Takes a pretty big catch pan to hold it all.

I have a 92 Cherokee 4.0 - and mine's on the bottom of the radiator, passenger side. It's diffcult to unscrew. Be careful when your unscrewing it, or you'll break it - that will cost you a new radiator.
