I need help on replacing spark plugs & radiator fluid. I have a 2001 2500hd with the 6.0 gas engine.
I can't seem to pull out the spark plug wire is there a special way to pull them off? Do I pull on the plug itself or the cover around it?
Where do I drian the radiator fluid and refill?
Thanks in advance

Well AFA the plug wire, what I do on some plugs that are tough
to get off is when you pull on the wire, you also apply equal pressure
on the opposite side of the plug (cuz the wire connects at a 45 or 90
degree angle usually) and it should just pull off with a little tug.
As for the radiator fluid, on some vehicles you have to kinda burp it after
refilling to get the air out so I will let someone with your year chime in on that.

Do not pull on the plug wire itself or you could separate it from the boot. You need to grab the boot and twist it while you pull on it. They make a special tool for this and you should be able to find it at you local parts store. Some of them are just about melted on where they get so hot.

Yes!
pull on the plug, NOT the wire
