If your truck is leaking from the recovery tank/cap. The radiator will not be the fault. Without looking at the vehicle it's hard to assess. But if you brought it to my shop I would be looking at the thermostat, which you have changed so should be ok, looking for a blockage in the system or checking the water pump is working correctly. You seem to be getting a backpressure forcing water out of the recovery bottle cap.I would have it pressure tested at a shop. They shouldn't really charge for a diagnosis? In the hope they get the work?
