I have an 03 Ford ranger, (or late model 02) they are identical, but i 'm trying to flush my radiator system, and like all other trucks i've had, the radiator cap is extremely easily accessible...but this damn new model truck, either just doesn't have a radiator cap, or it's buried under all that freakin plastic!!! If anyone knows where it is at, or what i'm supposed to look for that would be great.
I got the haynes book out and it shows nothing for my model truck. it simply says, remove cap (if equipped).
The only other question i have is do i simply just remove the resivior cap and flush the system from there? instead of the old fashion radiator cap?
I'm so trained to fill a radiator at the radiator cap and nosil, that it's driving me crazy...i just want to do it right the first time ya know?

Thanks For repsonding!

Try the passenger fender well...it's you guessed it PLASTIC! The drain however is still on the bottom of the radiator...
