I want to drain, flush and replace the coolant in my 02 tacoma 3.4L V6, but my manual says there are two coolant drain plugs, and i can only find the one on the bottom of the radiator. I guess the other one drains the coolant from the engine, but I don't know where it is or what type of drain plug to look for. Does anyone know where it's at or what it looks like? Thanks

 

My 2001 FSM says they are located at the bottom passenger side of the radiator and the other one is located somewhere behind the fan towards the top. Sorry for the vague description but the picture is pretty crappy.

If you're standing directly in front of your truck look at the fan's shaft and start looking up for a drain plug.

 

Actually there's a FSM online for a 2003 whihc is the same as what we have.

Here's the link to the PDF file with the picture Iwas talking about in my previous post:

thanks for the help, but i still can't find the second drain plug...I think I'll just drain from the radiator, but it kinda bugs me that I can't find the engine block drain plug...
