Do you have any other ideas why it might be doing this? I tried it the other way to and lastnight it still pushed it into the overflow and stayed. It's weird though because if I don't drive it buy rev it till the thermostat opens a few hours later when it's cool it goes back down. But if I...

Yeah after fixing the one leak I filled it up and once again I let it cool for a couple of hours and it's still a little high but I am hoping it comes down.

So I am out here messing with the truck and low and behold when I walked up to it I saw a new tiny quarter size spot in the driveway. This spot was on the frame below the heater core lines. The clamp on the top line appeared to be slightly loose. So I have tightened everything down filled her...

Well then maybe it is some other issue then. I noticed yesterday after doing what the other member suggested that it was for the first time pulling coolant from the resivor back into the radiator which it was not doing before. Now I haven't checked it this morning but coming home lastnight...

Ok makes alot of sense. It's a very simple design and I was over thinking it. I am really glad it wasn't a head gasket issue. This is my favorite truck and I drive it everyday.

I really appreciate all the information. So I went out and cold filled the radiator just above the heater core line (few inches below top) and drained the overflow tank to cold full and ran her up to temp. I noticed this time I had heat getting warmer the entire time and the thermostat opened...

Lol I guess I for some reason wasn't thinking when doing that. I saw the hole for the overflow when I had the radiator cap and told myself you shouldn't see fins in the radiator but then again when it expands it's gotta go somewhere like you are saying. So should I fill the radiator just a...

Yes the upper radiator hose gets pretty hard I won't lie like almost to much. I will check the cap and maybe get some pictures of the current amount in both. So your saying probably leave what's currently in the radiator and just fill the overflow till cold full and check it everyday till it...

Ok I do have a replacement radiator. I had it because I knew they were hard to find in case one went bad. Maybe I can flush this one or just try replacing it.

Rodded out like flushing or cleaning it? There is your basic junk in it

I forgot to mention this is my second new cap. I put a nice new locking one on the other day. I believe the pressure is 15 or 16 and the cap is 16 psi. You think it's possible I am filling it up to much ?

Alright guys I got a new one for you and I need some advice. When I started working on this truck one of the first things I did was replace the coolant and thermostat because it was stuck open and I had no heat. Up till now it had been fine and running great and for the most part it does...

Thanks ball buster I will keep it in mind

Ok cool it makes sense. No rush I appreciate all the information.

Ok does the harness cover all the lights under the hood? I ended up believe it or not finding a brand new oem wiring harness for under the hood also. What did you do with the old resistors for the horn and blower motor replace them or can you bypass them? I am also curious to know we're they...

Ok I appreciate all the help. It looks like I am going to have to dig into her a little more. One thing I can tell you about the truck is the previous owner used house wiring to wire up a trailer hitch receptacle lol. I have fixed a ton of stuff already but you know how it is with these...

Dang ok. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised with this truck. But wouldn't a short cause this thing to be blowing the fuse? In the meantime when I get some free time I will check the wiring. I wish I could have all new wiring for thr truck. Semper Fi thanks again

I don't even know how 9mm got inserted sorry lol. Yeah I figured it was probably going to need to be replaced. Honestly everything else seems ok in there I just want a way to correct this issue. If anyone has replaced that terminal let me know the best way to go about it? Thanks

9mm Ok yeah I am leaning towards your approach. So today I cleaned up the whole truck harness and connections. The headlight fuse spot honestly doesn't look bad behind it. I also removed the fuse for the horn to see if it helps. The truck is pretty much stock except for it looks to be...

Hey everyone I am having a little issue with my headlights here lately. My fuse is apparently getting hot to the point it's melting but not blowing. I did some research on here and have heard it's commonly over loaded and it could even be the horn fuse which I took out today. There is a tiny...
