boiling point
ok haveing a little problem, yesterday i thought i heard my antifreeze boiling, got out of the truck nothing. heard it again to night when i got home got out poped the hood and it was. the truck funs the same temp on the guage it allways has, and i haven't done any mods to the truck recently except for my air dog, and i doubt that caused it. so other then maby my cap craped out any ideas what could be causing it?

hey man before you go drop like 3 or 400 on a radiator, take your old one to a radiator shop and have it cleaned. i got mine cleaned for 87 bucks and i swear to god its cleaner than a brand new one is! the thing shines like its polished on the inside. beats the hell out of 400 on a radiator. and a headgasket should only run you like 50 bucks
