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

Re: Radiator Drain
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! |

Re: Radiator Drain
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!

Re: Radiator Drain
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.
