Default Re: Coolant being pushed back into resavoir

[QUOTE=01_ranger_4x4;605964]The radiator cap is what controls the pressure in the cooling system as well as the flow of coolant to and from the overflow. I know you said that you replaced that but I would suspect that first. Only other thing I can think of that would force coolant out of the system would be a blown head gasket.

+1. Take the cap back to the parts store. Get a Motorcraft or a Stant cap. If it continues have a pressure check done on the cooling system to see if you have a head gasket leak. My 93 had a freeze plug pop. When the shop was replacing it they saw a some rust stains on the back of the head. Had both head gaskets replaced.
