Default Coolant flush

Just bought my Jeep after it sat for 12 years waiting for the floor pan to be finished. After driving it for a month noticed my overflow was really dark brownish and my radiator had a little milkiness to it, after a good clean out and flush. This nasty stuff was clogged in there.

Search out BlueRidgeMark here on this forum. He has a killer flush process/method. It's in his signature.
