Coolant pouring out

My 03 crew has a 4.6L and it pours out coolant the reservoir.Does not over heat just under a normal load and more under a heavy load like the engine is over heating. My truck has over 200000 miles on it.

Very possibly a head gasket. Do a hydrocarbon test on the coolant.

MY head gaskets r toast and I'm going with a remain motor since it is cheaper than rebuilding it because of where i live.
