i have rust in my cooling system :(

i have an aftermarket modine radiator, i believe it's aluminum but it looks rusted, is it surface rust? i need to flush this thing out, what do you guys use?

well,...if its aluminum then its not the source.....or your radiator is regular metal....as aluminum will not rust....sooooo maybe coming from foreign objects in the coolant

or quite possibly the radiator is so old that it decayed....or one last thing,...too much water in the mix
