On the bottom of the radiator, Under the plastic splash shield, there is a drain. With the truck cold, open the rad cap, open the drain and let it drain... Close the drain, fill with the proper mixture, and then start the truck., Once the thermostat opens the coolant level should drop.. Fill more and replace the cap, and fill the over flow..
Drive the truck for a little bit and re check the levels...

Drive into the Valvoline Qwicky-Lube and pay them $50 or so to do it. :lol:
Seriously, I do a lot of things for myself but flushing coolant just isn't worth my time these days. Back when you could put a Flush-n-Fill kit on everything it was easy, I have one on my van. But drain it, fill it, run it, drain it, fill it, run it, I just don't have time for that.
