coolant tank overflowing
So today the coolant tank overflowed today, it did it yesterday also.
I also believe that this happened before I bought it because I replaced the overflow tank because it was coated it rust. I flushed the coolant system until it was clear and then added 50/50 mixture. How do I stop it from doing this?

WoW! That is what it looks like after a flush?
I would say get some coolent system flush and run it through and then flush with a hose again. Gets messy but it worked wonders on mine!
I cant say I have ever seen a system do that...unless it had too much water in it and it got to hot but that would have ended up different lol

OK, but the overflow tank fills and drains through the radiator cap. They have a gasket (rubber) and a pressure rating. If the gasket is bad or the cap can't hold pressure then it allows the tank to over fill as the motor warms and the coolant expands.
But if the cap is good then I don't know.

Why not just empty that tank out and then run your truck around again and see if it does it?
When I flushed my system I didnt put any in my side tank for three days, and only did it then cause I went across the state and noticed the temp went up a bit more then normal and it was fine after that.
