Dodge: Radiator Drain, screw type, dodge dakota


Question
I know you are a Ram man, but tought they may be similar, I have a 2000 dodge dakota and I am trying to flush the radiator. I can't seem to find the radiator drain plug, and dodge hasn't made it any easier because of a plastic shield covering the radiator area. I was having trouble removing this shield so I figured i'd ask if I am headed in the right direction first of all. Thanx.

Answer
Darren,
Standing in front of the truck facing it,look down on the bottom right side of the radiator,you'll see a little screw type gadget probably made put of plastic.Unscrew this and it will drain.And no you don't have to remove the radiator shroud.
