I'm stuck between flushing my radiator, which I know will do nothing, or get a new one. The previous owner ran nothing but straight water and now its this nasty orange color. Its so bad that as soon as the water hits the air it instantly dries. My local jy has a brand new one for $40. Super clean and only antifreeze was ran through it. You guys think its worth it? Btw I'm all stock.

If you don't feel lazy flush it and see if it gets any better. Is the car overheating? It probably wouldn't hurt at this point to just pick up the new one for 40 bucks. It stinks when the radiator's that dusty orange cuz it gets all over the compartment. lulz

I would get the new one, I have had friends get theirs flushed and it would cause problems with crap coming loose and start overheating.

It doesn't overheat at all but it can get warm rather quickly if I decide to put my foot in it. I'm not crazy about flushing cause the same thing happend to my TA and flushed it twice and it looked like I did nothing to it.

Yeah just put a new one in. Not a big deal and it'll look alot better.

Even if you just replace the radiator the entire engine including the heater core needs a good flushing or back flushing.

I was thinking about this. Went ahead and picked up the radiator and gonna look into flushing the engine.
