Rust in coolant

Topic starter

Hello, about 7 years I supposedly had my radiator coolant drained and filled.  I just change it myself the other day and it appears the shop never changed the coolant as I noticed it looked very rusty.  Question: won't this rust destroy my water pump, radiator etc...?  The vehicle has approximately 50,000 on it.

Thanks in advance!

Yes if it is ignored over time.

Also for future reference, please include a few more details when talking about your car.


Thanks, now the decision whether I should get rid of the vehicle before it nickels and dimes me.


What is this car? Is a ford? GM? Chrysler?


04 Ford F-150

It's not great for it. You'll want to flush the system out really well.


Thanks!
