Antifreeze sloshing out
On rough roads, the antifreeze in the overflow reservoir sloshes out through the cap and makes a bit of a mess. Yeah, all three of the early 90's Fords I've owned have done this. Just wondering if anyone's come up with a brilliant solution?

My 2002 Ranger and my 1997 F250 both do this on rough ground. My Ranger also gets a bit of washer fluid out of the vent making a mess. I just lower the amount of antifreeze/washer so it doesn't come out.

Cracked caps on overflow tank? Ive had numerous ford trucks and hadn't seen that happen. I do a lot of back road driving but am usually going fairly slow, looking for critters, firewood etc.

My '89 has a similar issue. It will slosh out of the overflow tank on rough terrain or if I shut it off on an extreme downward angle when it's hot. Like downhill on a steep boat launch after towing. My radiator always stays full and the tank stays just a little lower than the line. I've just decided that's where it likes to be
