Radiator caps are designed to allow overflow depending on the pressure in your cooling system.

Got it... thanks

Still with this problem!

Have you checked to see if you have any mud or debris between the A/C condensor and the Radiator?

If it is free from debris your only answer to this situation is your Radiator is shot and it either needs to be replaced or rodded.

No debris between the condensor and the radiator!

Although I flushed the radiator twice, I now bought a radiator cleaner. I will do it during next weekend and see what happens!

I just noticed this post and saw it was recommended that you use a coolant stop leak, and I have to tell you taht is one of the worst things yiu can do to an alloy engine, you will land up plugging up water out lets, the heater, your radiator and the list goes on.

Did this ever get resolved, as this seems to be common place with the BMR Landys

Nope... I don't use this truck so I have not put enough effort in to it.

The fan was replaced, thermostat replaced, full rad flush and purged, all hoses checked... problem peristed!
As explained before, the truck can be used for small trips with out problems so... I maight sell the truck like that.

I have two other toys and I decided that I don't have time for a third tou to play with!
