The drain plug is located on the bottom of the radiator.

Most drain plug ismake of inexpensive nylon/plastic and it may fall apart while you turn it.

The professional method is to loosen the lower radiator clamp and drop to lower radiator hose.

Drain the coolant onto a large drain pan and recycle the coolant.

Need location of radiator plug on 2004 chevy venture

If it has one it would be on the bottom of the radiator. Most cars and trucks today don't have a plug or valve.
You are expected to use a recycling machine to flush the coolant.

Location of radiator drain plug on a 2004 chevy suburban 1500 vortex engine and tools needed

The drain plug should be ner the bottom of the radiator, either on the side or directly on the bottom. It should be a plug about 1/2 inch diameter and usually can be taken off with a screwdriver, but you may need a socket.

Unless you are prepared to clean up a mess you might want to get a small funnel with a tube so you can direct where it goes when it drains.

Radiator drain plug is on the driver side of the car on the bottom of the radiator. It can be tricky to get to it, you should see a white cap or black cap with ends to put pliers on it

Where is the radiator drain plug located on a 97 chevy 1500 Z71? I'm trying to flush the radiator,but cannot find it.

It's located on the drivers side of the radiator opposite of the lower radiator hose. Note: you may be better off disconnecting the lower radiator hose, it's common for the drain plug to break or the O-rings to split causing more work to drain the radiator. That's why most tech's will drain the radiator from the lower radiator hose, less chance of breaking the radiator drain plug and most new cars now don't come with a drain plug to the radiator.
