IMO, don't bother with the "flush" kits. Here is my personal favorite that has worked for me several times w/ cars severly overheating.

Drain your radiator. Run waterfrom your faucet & rinse out your radiator.
Fill your radiator, run your engine for a few minutes to circulate water.
Repeat above steps.
Put in a bottle of heavy duty radiator cleaner (Not flush).
Drive 150 miles or so.
Repeat the whole process. This will typically help out even the scaliest raidators/cooling systems.

Should you run a little hot, slow down to 55, roll down teh windows, & turn on your heater to full blast, full fan.
