1996 Chevy silverado where is the radiator drain location?

The 1996 Chevy Silverado's radiator drain location isn't standardized across all engine types and trim levels. It's usually a small petcock (a valve) located at the bottom of the radiator, on either the driver's side or the passenger's side.

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Locate the radiator: It's the large metal unit behind the grille, in front of the engine.

2. Look closely at the bottom of the radiator: The drain petcock is usually a small, usually plastic or brass, valve that is either a screw-type or a lever-type. It may be hidden somewhat by debris or the shroud.

3. Check both sides: If you don't immediately see it on one side, carefully check the other.

If you can't find it, consult your owner's manual for the specific location for your vehicle's engine and trim level. A repair manual specific to your year and model Silverado would be even more helpful. A picture of your radiator from the front might help others identify it if you post it online in a car repair forum. Be careful not to burn yourself when checking; let the engine cool thoroughly before attempting this.
