Radiator petcock on a '07 LC

[g23owner]

Just bought my '07 last week. Trying to baseline it. So far, changed diff fluids, tranny fluid and transfer case. Want to do coolant and PS fluid next. I've found the drain plugs on the block but can't find the radiator petcock.

I hope to receive my FSM next week but hoping someone could point me in the right direction in the interim.

Do you have to remove the skid plate to see the petcock?

Is it facing the block (i.e., on the back side of the radiator) like an 80 series?

Is it a wing nut style like an 80 series?

Thanks in advance!

Does skid plate have a ~3" diameter plastic plug forward on the passenger side?

You should only have to remove the plastic plug.

Petcock faces the bottom of the radiator tank...points straight down.

It's a plastic wing bolt, rubber washer, hole through the middle.

Stick a jug under the petcock and use a funnel...petcock drips a bunch. You drain less than 2 gallons out of the radiator, and a about a gallon from each of the block drains. 10mm flex socket makes it easy.
