This morning I started my truck and let it warm up for about 10 min. Got in it and drove to the office. Didn't get on it hard just kinda putted around and cruised. When I got to the office I noticed the driver side wheel well was wet and then a stream of coolant steamed down from underneath the hood. I looked and it came from my reservoir cap. Which I had just replaced because of a similar thing happening. What's going on?

Well okay then. Head studs and gaskets it is. One more question. Some people say use the food head gasket some day use aftermarket. What should I get?

The min line is the new max line, if you fill it to the max with tunes its gonna burp coolant. Is your heater blowing cold air at idle then warm air under acceleration?
If cold air most likely gaskets which is my deal, if not and you just over filled tank and faulty cap i would replace cap for 15$ and fill to min line and try thst before a horny mechanic starts tearing things apart for 69$ hr
