Holy Crap!

Well, after putting on my exhaust, new plugs, new oil, new springs (yup, just the springs), I decided to flush the radiator to see how it was looking. Well, the coolant was almost black...no joke. I drove my truck to get some new flush stuff, and it took 5...that's right, 5 times to flush all of the old junk out. I called up the guy and he said it hadn't been changed in 6 years, he just added some whenever he needed it. I said thanks for telling me, and he said sorry lol.

This is just to say, CHECK EVERYTHING when you first buy a new car lol.

lol, thats swEEt.
I'm amazed your radiator isn't dead. Wasn't the overflow tank discolored and chunky as well?
I'm sure your car will like you a lot more now.

The overflow tank was actually looking good to tell you the truth. I realized it when I opened up the actual cap for the radiator. My words were, "Holy f#&k, what the hell". I shat myself.

not to be an as$ or anything, but why are u hassling the seller about stuff like that? I just ask because i sold my old car to my nieghbor (worst mistake ever) and the son of a biotch wont stop bothering me about the car when something is wrong. It gets on my daymn nerves
Sorry im just venting
