where is the location the radiator drain on 2500 6.0 Silverado?
The radiator drain plug is located at the bottom of the radiator tank passenger side facing engine on my chevy silverado. Word of caution let vehicle cool before attempting to drain coolant, and consider draining by disconnecting the lower hose as quite often the draincock becomes damaged and will not reseat properly and leaks. Good luck.

Hi @dnllguajardo , Is the engine actually overheating or is the temp gauge just showing that it is too hot? Maybe the coolant temp sensor is faulty or the fans aren’t operating. Here’s a link to the repair manual (go to Engine Cooling section) for a 2008 Silverado (amongst other models in the same manual). Hopefully it is close enough to be of some help. Update (02/19/2020) Hi @dnllguajardo , I’ve amended the link to the repair manual above so that it works now. Here’s an image taken from the Engine Cooling section of the manual which details the checks for an engine overheating problem.
(click on magnifying glass in image to enlarge for better viewing) Also the word I couldn’t find before regarding the hoses is that they “collapse” internally under pressure when the engine is running, restricting the flow.
I had them run a diagnostic test and they told me to look it up on line and it should have different sensors an to find the one that has to do with over heating, I have not done that yet. I hope yall can see the picture
