I took the bottom and top radiatior hose off to see if there was any pressure and there was and when i put them back on the radiatior both got hot...so the water pump is working i can also see the water move trough the radiatior. But when the radiatior cap is on the truck overheats when the cap is off the truck doesnt overheat. I have heat in the truck ans eberything seem to check out its got to be the radiatior cap unless yhe yhermostat is sticking couldtl that be?
