Thanks SoCal.. I can see and touch the lower rad hose, but it's not like any hose I've worked on before.. No traditional hose clamp.. It has a plastic elbow and the hose part just attaches to it.. Then it splits off with 2 smaller hoses to the oil filter adapter (integrated oil cooler as such).. My 97 F150 had the same setup, but it used good ol' hose clamps on the ends!
I'm sure it's some quick connect type of deal and I do have a shop manual for it, so I should read up on it and that might just be what I have to do to drain it! :)
