I found out GM deleted the drain which is kind of a bummer. There’s just a place molded where the threads used to be and it’s actually too big to just thread for the drain plug or I would have done that. I did turn the clamp on the lower hose so it’s accessible after removing the fans so it won’t be that bad to just pull the hose and let it drain. The fluid just spilled all over after removing the drain plug anyway. 8ABB91F6-EF09-46CF-8EDB-AA7970438DF3.jpeg
