I am trying to flush old coolant from my 2005 Liberty 3.7 but I can't find where the engine drain plug is. Can anyone give an actual picture of where it is and not the picture from the manual cause that one isn't helping me at all. Thank you in advance.

There isn't an engine drain plug. Only the radiator drain valve. The closet thing to a drain on the engine is the lower radiator hose.

Alright. Thank you very much for the confirmation. I keep hearing people say to drain the radiator and then the engine block and that confused me.

For a very reasonable price the dealer can do the most comprehensive flush using their pressurized re-circulating machine.
There are block frost plugs, but you really do not need to mess with those.
Just remember...

I had a dream last night a mechanic flushed my coolant and replaced it with non-HOAT. Woke up in a cold sweat....

Do any of you got a live picture/video of where it is? I really can't find it. All of the plugs look the same to me.

I would just go through the lower hose. Do a drain and fill twice from there (you'll put in about 2 gallons each time) or just use the dealer. Wouldn't mess with the petcock on the radiator, most likely will leak after and I have a feeling the drain plugs would be very hard to undo especially if the wrong coolant has been used and there's been corrosion forming.
