It could be one of 4 things.
1. Bad radiator cap
2. Lose hose clamps at either the heater core, radiator, intake or water pump.
3. Bad water pump
4. Blown head gasket
Green coolant
It uses the ORANGE coolant.
sould be on the manifold
The heater core is stoped up / MAYBE. Are the engine is low on coolant, Check coolant level in radiator.
The green color antifreeze will be just fine.
it will say low coolant and it means you need to add a mix of 50/50 coolant and water to the overflow.
replace the worn parts.
try tread lock.
The coolant level is low in the truck.
Possible causes: Insufficient/no coolant in the system; insufficient antifreeze in the coolant and the coolant is frozen: the water pump is faulty and is not circulating the coolant; the belt that drives the water pump is loose or missing.
remove top rad hose on motor and then the coolant flange the thermostat is under the flange
Sounds like a loose connection at the coolant temperature sender. Or, the truck is low on coolant and air bubbles are passing by the sensor. This, along with a gurgling heater core, is a classic symptom of coolant that is too low before the truck overheats. Paying attention to these clues allowed me to fill up a friend's truck with coolant as it was almost a gallon low, and he didn't even know it was leaking (Dexcool). If you are losing coolant, you may have an intake leak. It is a common problem around 65 to 80 thousand miles. I would have this checked, you most likely won't see a leak, unless you look from below by the back of the intake. It ususally drips out there.
