I just joined this forum so please let me know if this question should be posted elsewhere.
Anyway, I have a 2005 Ranger with a 2.3 engine and auto trans. Just turned 30,000 miles. I decided to flush and refill the radiator, and have these questions. One: there appears to be no radiator cap. I'm used to sticking a hose in the cap hole and running fresh water thru for a bit after draining, but I obviously can't do that here. Do I instead pull off the top hose and flush thru there? Second question: do I pull off the bottom hose to drain or is there a drain plug accessible once I remove the plastic cover/protector that's held in place by four plastic plugs?
Any and all advice/guidance will be greatly appreciated!
