Where is the thermostat on a 1999 Chevy express?
Follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the engine. Where the hose is attached at the engine is the thermostat housing. Drain some coolant from the radiator thru the petcock, remove upper radiator hose from thermostat housing, remove thermostat housing then remove the thermostat. On the Express van you will probably need to remove the air filter assembly to gain room to work.

How to flush the radiator in a 1998 ford explorer?
First, decide if you need a flush and clean or just to replace the anti-freeze with new fluid. You could decide this by looking into the radiator. If you see excessive build up on the internal parts of the radiator you will want to flush with a commercial radiator cleaning solution that will break down the gunk in the radiator allowing for better flow and cooling of the engine.If you need to flush it, follow the directions on the label. Once that is completed you want to drain the system. Do this by placing a catch pan beneath the radiator under the petcock valve. On your vehicle it is located on the bottom, drivers side part of the radiator. It will be facing the engine. Remove your radiator cap to allow the system to breath while draining. Once the flow stops from the petcock valve you can tighten it back up and refill the radiator with a proper blend of anti-freeze and water (follow instruction on anti-freeze bottle)Some mechanics will fill and flush an engine again before final fill with antifreeze, especially if significant build up is present in the radiator. Also, if it easily accessible, the lower radiator hose can be removed to help speed up the draining of the engine. Some people believe loosening the upper hose helps better drain the block but removing the radiator cap will suffice and leaves less to work on in order to get back up and running.
How do you unblock a stopcock that is seized up?
If your stopcock on your car's radiator is seized you will probably damage it and ruin the radiator if you try to force it. Leave it alone and drain the water through the lower radiator hose. There is little to gain and a lot to risk in trying to get it to work.
Where is the radiator drain plug on the 1993 De-ville?
The radiator drain plug is located on the back left side of the radiator (facing the engine) approximately 4" above the chassis rail that runs underneath the radiator. It's usually a plastic plug that is mounted on the back side (rather than underneath) the radiator and is apparently not meant to completely unscrew out of the radiator. It's quite difficult to get to without a lift as you have to reach up and over a few things to get to it. You may need a small pair of plyers to work it loose.
I want to drain the antifreeze for a 92 Ford Crown Victoria but I can't find the plug on the radiator. Can you tell me where it's located and what it looks like?
If you can't find a drain plug, then just drain from the lower hose. Its long, and goes to the other side of the engine. This will work.
