Cannot figure out how to close radiator drain ****.

Hope you got it, but they can be a buggar. I always had to work it back and forth, now I just remove the lower radiator hose.

Push and turn clockwise. They're plastic, so you have to be careful; a lot of people have broken theirs. Spray it with a good penetrating oil like PB Blaster before attempting. BTW, WD-40 is not a penetrating oil.

Yeah, its a push and turn, not a threaded type closure.

Just be glad it is in such an easily accessible location....Thanks Dodge!

I read an article on this very thing , and in the article it said to remove the female part of the plug that was still in the hole, and then find a long bolt with the same thread pattern and insert it into the hole and thread it into the nut inside the radiator, and pull it back up against the inside of the opening. Apparently when the plug is taken out this piece on the inside moves back away from the opening where the plug cannot grab it. I know a guy that replaced his rediator because he thought it was broken. Good luck

If you are talking about the quarter turn kind on later dodges, there is an O ring in there that is prone to breaking.
