Busyguy,
There is no guaranty of this but, have him look or, at least try and feel around the lower right hand (passenger side) corner of the radiator frame. You see, I too thought that mine, an '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the 330 C-7 CAT, did NOT have a drain plug when I decided to pull that radiator for some service. I looked all over the darn thing, that is, where I "could" see. I called Freightliner help and they said, it's there and, on the left side (drivers side). I looked again, all over, used mirrors etc. and found none.
So, I drained mine by using the heater hose drains. It took forever but, eventually it got drained. Now, when I got that radiator out, yep, it was there but, there is a "frame" built all the way around mine and, it has a recess hole in that frame at the lower right hand corner. Inside that access hole, is the pet-cock for draining the radiator. Well, even if I could have possibly seen it, there's no way on this planet that I could have used it. So, I improvised. I ADDED one, in the steel cross-over tube. Now, if and when it comes time to do some radiator work again, it will be a pleasure to drain it.
