2016 2500 6.4L Engine Coolant Drain and fill Questions.

[White six four]

Since the truck 6.4's don't have radiator caps, just the expansion coolant tank. Wouldn't a guy not want the front end up on ramps? To make sure the coolant tank is the highest point for air to escape.

I'll be adding Lubegard 96430 when I change the antifreeze.

The above video shows how to open the drain **** and use a tube to drain the fluid.

It appears the 6.4L does not have a bleeder valve/plug.

OK, I read a drain and fill takes 16.3 qts.
When I drained it from the radiator I got 8 qts. out. The front was pointing down a bit. This might help with draining.

I guess the only way to the 16.3 out you have to remove the lower radiator hose.
I'm not going to do that.
I'm going to drive around for a while and then drain out 8 more qts.
I'll do that a third time and call it good!

OK, I read a drain and fill takes 16.6 qts.
When I drained it from the radiator I got 8 qts. out.

I guess the only way to the 18.3 out you have to remove the lower radiator hose.
I'm not going to do that.
I'm going to drive around for a while and then drain out 8 more qts.
I'll do that a third time and call it good!

Any suggestions to get the fluid out without removing the lower radiator hose?

Pull the block drains,even with the lower hose removed,there's still a bunch of anti-freeze left in the block,that's only removable by pulling the block drains
