I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee with high mileage and wanted to drain/flush out my coolant and change it. Problem is, I can't find the petcock to drain it out. I would just yank off the hose and drain it that way, but getting to it is not an easy task. Can't find anything about it on AutoZone either. So here is my question:
Anyone know where and how to get to the drain spout or a better way to do it?
And take it to a mechanic is not the answer I'm looking for.1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport Coolant Question?While this may not be the answer you are looking for you can probaby find a coupon to have a shop completely flush the entire cooling system for $49.99 to $59.99. Doing it yourself you'll be lucky to drain half the system out and is it really worth the time and grief?1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport Coolant Question?Your petcock, if I remember correctly, is down low sticking out on the passenger side-could be drivers' side, I'm not sure.
The main thing I would suggest to you, is pick up a reverse flush kit, just a few dollars at most parts houses. Also, don't worry about the petcock too much, you may be having trouble finding it because the ears are broken off-in which case remove the lower main hose from the radiator to drain the system .1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport Coolant Question?some radiators dont have drain plugs. the only other way i know, is take the bottom hose off, or take the bottom hose off from the water pump and drain it that way.
