[V8] : Coolant Change

[Bob Tomkins]

Thanks everyone, I followed all suggestions and finished two flushes and a fill with new coolant.  The two block drains were not to difficult from below.  Drivers side was easier removing the ground cable and knock sensor to allow easier access for my socket with universal.  My radiator did have the drain but on the passenger side, which did make it much easier.  I hate being on my back but am glad it is done.  
Now to try and find why my cruise control quit working (couple years ago, sorry to admit) and why I have developed a 2 amp constant drain which is killing my battery.  Any one else had this crop up?
