The one on the bottom of radiator is hidden by the subframe rail...

Find the "roll stop" mount on frame rail there under radiator (some people call it a motor mount)... look to the left (toward driver side a weeeeee bit, you will spy (3) holes in the frame.. the forward most center hole is where you will pass a long #3 phillips driver into the plug, and unscrew it..

It will not come out so as to be remove from vehicle, it will rest on frame rail.. BE AWARE that there is a block rubber ring/gasket that is supposed to be on the plug.... a lot of times it will stay in the hole... make sure it is in there, you can feel it when you go to reinstall drain plug... sometimes is will stay with plug.... GOOD..... OR----> it will fall out -- NOT GOOD.....

Make sure you know where that ring is. Just snug it in, very easy to twist head off the plug, you'll be mad then..
