Where is the drain plug at for the radiator. I went to put some coolant in the radiator and it all came back out and I think the drain plug might of popped out or something. I don't think thats the lower radiator hose letting all that coolant come back out.

It should be at the bottom of the radiator, on the driver's side.

Well I guess it is the lower radiator hose, its brand new but maybe I put a hole in it when I put the metal clamp on it and tore a hole in it somehow. What do you think.

Hopefully it's just a bad hose, and not a cracked radiator.

I don't think its a cracked radiator because I just had a new one put in the summer of 2008.

New Thermostat, upper and lower radiator hoses and Peak coolant. The Waterpump was raplace back around 120,000-130,000 miles and I have 186,000 miles on it now so it can't be the waterpump.

Just because things are new do not mean they are good, it just means they are new. I've seen plenty of bad new parts.

Yea, I just told my boss and he said the same thing as you said chevman, my boss said he had a bad radiator hose last year for his truck from advanced auto. His hose had a long small slit in it. So hopefully maybe thats my problem.
