OK, so i just got this ford taurus as a gift from my aunt and uncle so my sister can drive around....however, they say they keep having to get the radiator flushed b/c there is rust in the coolant....so my first question is would the rust be coming from the radiator itself rusting out and if so wouldnt replacing the radiator fixx this problem. furthermore i cant imagine the radiator would be that complex to pull and replace but i was wondering if i am wrong on this assumption....i would think you would just need to drain, pull, replace, and fill again....any imput on this situation would be great. its a 1996 ford taurus v6.

thanks agian guys

Are they sure that its rust and not the head gasket coming apart? If they keep flushing crap out, you'll find the source eventually.

is it a vulcan(ohv) v6 or duratec(dohc)? i had problems with head gaskets with the pushrod 3.0...

i just talked to my aunt and i was mistaken its a 4 cylinder..didnt know they made 4 cylinder taurus's but i guess they do.....i wonder how hard it would be to replace the head gasket on that bad boy hahaha
