Using your owner's manual or your eyeballs, locate your radiator's drain plug. It could be anywhere along the bottom of the radiator, and will be either a screw plug, bolt plug or a petcock (simple drain valve). Be sure you have your used coolant receptacle in place under the drain before you open it up. Look at the bottom of the radiator facing the engine. I there is none then pull off the lower hose.

Never flush a radiator. When flusing the radiator theres no way to be 100% sure that you got everything out, and flushing a radiator will only losen things up that can get into the engine, clogging it up causing you BIG problems... Its okay to drain and refill the radiator, but never flush one. All of those deposits that's getting lose, some will come out but what doesnt will find its way into your engine, causing you a huge headache.
How do you flush the radiator of a '99 gmc safari?
In order to flush the radiator on my 1996 Safari I had to remove the radiator fan cover under the hood (there are 6 bolts holding it in place). You will find a plug on the bottom of the radiator that has to be unscrewed and the old water will drain. I ususally put a hose in the cap and let the engine run (with the heater on) to flush out all the old fluid. Then re-plug the radiator, re-install the fan cover and re-fill with fresh fluid.
