I did see that hose on the side but when I went under to see where it was attached, it didn't look like a petcock to drain the rad. It looked like it was just part of the cast plastic rad. I guess I should have tried to turn it. All the dealers had closed when I was trying to find out. I tried calling a couple shops that were open on Saturday after 2 pm. One woman said they can't give out that info! I asked, "You can't ask a mechanic where the rad. drain is but you'll sell me a new thermostat?" I got it done eventually and have good heat now a lot faster. Just replacing the thermostat was pretty simple. Filling the rad back up is what took the longest. Too bad I couldn't have read your post before I took the rad hose off. The old OEM thermostat had the inner rubber piece partly ripped and pushed out. The new, non GM, one doesn't use that rubber ring inside. It's really frustrating when you can't get a simple answer when your in the middle of fixing something. Now I know. Dave
