well im gonna assume that the owner before me did not belive in maintance do to the horrible condition of the antifreeze. honestly it was almost like mud..... so i flushed the system and put new hoses and a radiator in. opened the radiator cap to check the level and this time it looked more like dirty water, so i flushed 4 times and filled it up with antifreeze. I think im gonna check and flush it every 2 weeks untill im satisfied with the contents.

What do you guys think?
