1990 Nissan Truck 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 269+ miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
i start the truck and drive for about 2-3 miles.everythink is ok.then at about the 4th mile it starts steaming from the reservoir. When i pull over pop the hood and eventhough the steam is soo hot i can pull off the cap and their is very little pressure.now when i shut the truck off it starts to slowly steam and with in a few seconds it's steaming so much u can't even see the engine.
the weird thing is,the steam is very very hot, but the radiator and water is't. so if you could lead me in the right direction I would be thankful.
ohh by the way can you tell me where the thermostat is located and how many gallions of fluid the truck will take
just for haha's i checked the oil level and felt the dip stick and it was luke warm...........thanks Frank W
