I have the same problem and was told I needed a different drain plug. Seems like a design flaw to me and Dodge should pay for it. Haven't picked up the new drain plug yet to see if that solves my problem. Let me know if un-plugging solves your problem, I will try that as well.

WHere is the radiator drain plug on a 1993 Dodge Dakota?

Here is a picture and shows the location as

Your radiator drain plug is located on the bottom of the radiator, driver's side engine side. It simply unscrews but does NOT come all the way out.

Where is radiator drain plug 02 dodge dakota

This is a post on the Dakota forums:
My 2001 Durango and 2002 Dakota they use the same radiator. You'll have the same setup. I have recent and intimate knowledge of draining them. Crawl under the left front of the truck and look up at the bottom of the radiator. At the bottom of the driver side radiator tank (facing toward the fender) is a 3/4" long flat handled plug. Twist your hand (with a pair of pliers) up there from the back side of the bumper fascia. Grip it and give it a 180* counterclockwise twist. It is now opened and draining out the little nipple sticking straight down from the bottom of the side tank. You can stick a 5/16" (or 3/8") hose onto the nipple to drain it into a bottle or pan without making a mess.

Where is the engine coolant drain bolt on a 2003 2azfe camry? i found the radiator drain but can't find the engine drain plug-a photo would be great

The textbook method is to remove the drain plug on the bottom of the radiator.

Most drain plug is make 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

Can not find drain on radiator of a 2003 gmc

It should be there. Just look hard under the radiator back-side wall, or directly under the radiator.

Sorry so late.The drain hose is under the truck.If you stand in front of the truck it will be on the passenger side behind the front wheel and about a foot to the right.You will have to get under the truck and look up,it will be a black rubber hose.If you dont have an air compressor,use a coat hanger and snake it through the hose.
