Exclamation Servicing truck

Hey guys I got a couple questions. Im wanting to sell my F-150 here soon and want to do a little work the the truck be for I sell. Flushing the radiator and tranny service are two big things. Has anyone done either of these? Is there a petcock on the radiator for me to drain myself and flush. Also should I take it to a shop for the tranny service or can I do it myself?

Thanks Guys

On the passenger's side of your rad there is a drain.
You can change the oil and filter in your transmission yourself if you don't mind getting oily. It can be pretty messy because to drain it you have to loosen the transmission pan bolts and let the pan drop enough for the oil to run out. Your truck should also have a torque converter drain so make sure you drain that too.
