2004 Suburban Radiator Drain Plug Location

Where is the drain plug located for a 2004 suburban 1500? I assume there is one.

I wouldn't bet on it. pretty sure you have to remove the lower rad hose and take a coolant shower.

+1 on not having a drain... the last drain plug I saw on a GM vehicle radiator was an 87 Camaro

I believe there are bleeder screws that need to be opened to prevent air bubbles while refilling. Anyone know the location of these?

Cooling System Draining and Filling

All be dang... it does have a drain plug....
See attached docs...
I am not sure what the "HP2" option is so I attached both procedures...

EDIT: disregard the HP2 option that is for the truck not the burb... sorry mis-read... deleting and re-posting the correct procedures...
the drain plug is still applicable
