you need to check coolant while the truck is cold. This willstop the cap from flying off and coolant from spewing everywhere. Check to make sure the coolant is full, your thermostat could probably be replaced very cheap and easy. Also its probably a good time to check your hoses to make sure they are in good shape. If none of this works make sure that your water pump isn't leaking and that its working.
