There is a drain **** (valve) on the radiator, but that certainly won't drain all of the coolant.

Apparently we don't like drain c*o*c*k*'s. Site blocks it.

I used Marc's method of lifting up the right side recently on my 94. Didn't think I had to as the cooling manifolds were heating up as they should...just wasn't getting in as much as I removed. Lifted the right side up till she bubbled and was able to easily get more in. Weird in my opinion but oh well, it worked!

Has anyone tried using the UView UV550000 on their LT5 to fill their cooling system? I understand that it's not the simplest process to fill an LT5 as air pockets are a common occurrence.

I've read about Mark's method of lifting the right side of the car, but was wondering if anyone has tried the UView system.

Thanks!

Nope but Marc's method old school as it is works fine. GC

Thanks all, I'll try the UView tool first and if I run into problems, at least I know I can fall back on Mark's method.
