Here is what I would do to flush the radiator, drain, fill with water, idle for 10 min, let cool for 10 min, drain, repeat until clean water comes out.
Then use a off the shelf radiator flush product of your choice, follow directions on bottle.
Then flush again with plain water.
Refill with any all aluminum safe coolant, if you buy it in the 50/50 pre-mix you cannot screw it up.

Also one last bit of advise, buy youself an Ultra-gauge if you haven't already. It will help save you a crap ton of money, it saved my *** because I wouldn't have known if my thermostat was on it's way out. My truck was sitting at 220F at a traffic light (which by the way didn't put my temp gauge to the red line) and I was able to replace the thermostat quickly. With out it I would have only known something was wrong when the thermostat finally did decide to give up the ghost and who knows where I could have been stranded.
