I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS TH E WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, OR CRACK IN RADIATOR. COULD BE A BLOWN GASKET. MY TRUCK OVERHEATS REALLY FAST. I HAVE TO PUT WATER EVERY HOUR. THE WATER IN THE COOLANT TANK BUBBLES UP AND THE TOP FLIES OFF. IT HAS BEEN DOING THAT FOR ALMOST FIVE MONTHS. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPAIR IT RIGHT NOW. SHOULD I STOP DRIVING IT?

Yes, stop driving it. Sound sliek it may be a blown head gasket, bu tit could also be a stuck thermostat. Need to find the leak first, does it leak out on the ground? Does the engine run rough? By driving it overheating, you could do damage to the engine which will get expensive fast
