Coolant Drain Location 3888 Hino W04c-TI

[zentodd]

I’ve done a search both here and online but I still don’t know where the best location is to drain the coolant. I read there is a brass petcock near the starter but I sure haven’t found it. Anybody know where i should look or what is the best way to drain everything? Thanks in advance!

Should i ask this question in the Technical section?

On my W04T Hino, there are two drain outlets, one on the alternator bracket and the other under the manicooler. But that's in a 3270.

Thank you

W04 has the lower drain behind the alternator - it's built into the bracket. It's a, east-west facing banjo bolt (14mm wrench) and has a 5/8 (?) hose fitting coming off the bottom of it. It can be easily felt and wrenched by braille. Slip a hose over the fitting and into an aluminum turkey tray on the floor where it's convenient for you to be - dump AF into the tray, lift the hose up high to stop flow, dump the tray into a bucket, repeat. When dry, remove the banjo bolt, clean with a brass wire brush, use never seize and re-install. Move to next engine...

I forgot to say thanks! Got it.

Here's the location on our Hino 135s. Needless to say, access on the starboard side will be more difficult.
