This problem is actually on a car I own but I figured that you truck guys are the only ones who could figure out the problem. Its a cutlass with a 260 olds v-8. Around town it seems to be ok. When I drive it on a trip of about 30-40 miles or more it overheats. I t boils the water out through the overflow tank. I have tried a new radiator cap, checked the timing, I can see coolant flowing through the top flues of the radiator when I take the cap off. Any other ideas?
