I poured some vinegar in the radiator of my tbird and have been driving it around like that for about a week now. I had the plastic reservoir pretty clean before that and now its got all kinds of sludgy crap in it. I think before too long im gonna blow everything out with the hose and fill it with straight water and about a gallon of vinegar (less than $3) and run it for a few days like that and see what comes out.

I think vinegar makes a nice cheap cooling system flush.
