    Welp. I’m stumped. My coolant is bubbling and puking out the reservoir.
    Replaced reservoir thinking it had a leak or bad cap.
    Replaced thermostat 2 months ago.
    Replaced radiator w thermostat (had small leak)
    Not overheating at all, but gets a little warm after it pukes out enough coolant at highway speed.
    Good compression on all cylinders. Less than 3 lb variation, cold and warm.
    No coolant in oil. No oil in coolant.
    No appreciable loss of power.
    Owned truck for 6 years and it’s never overheated on my watch.
    I’m stumped y’all.
    Bubbling stops appx 1 min after shutdown, and it’s nowhere close to hot.
    Anyone else had this happen?
