Radiator flushing

What's a good additive to use for flushing my cooling system? This truck has been sitting for 5 to 7 years and needs a good flushing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Radiator flushing

Just take a heater hose off and run your garden hose through it with the bottom radiator hose loose. Then flush the radiator and put the garden hose on the fitting on top the engine and flush through the engine.
