Default Coolant Drain

Hi

2004 Grand Cherokee laredo... 4.0 6 cynl.
Hate to be stupid but I cant find the drain plug to drain coolant from the engine block. Anyone help here. I know it should be in the drivers side of engine just below exhaust manifold. Just cant seem to locate it... Is kind of crowded in that area, but...

Doing a water pump and wanting to do a good drain and run straight water through and re drain.... I only got 1.5 Gallons from the radiator drain spout... Got to be able to get more than that.

when you drop the pump and have removed your bottom radiator hose, should be all drained. You can do the engine block drain, but not many people drain it that way...

Your correct on drivers side, it's just below the freeze plugs. Square hole that you attach your ratchet to.
