Overheating 460
I have a '88 f250 with a 460 and it keeps losing coolant...
I check and unless it sprays somehow from my cap I can't find where it is coming from.
I did chk my oil all clean.
it has a new heater core, radiator, 7lbs cap, hoses.
any insight would be awesome!!!!

If it ain't going in your oil then that leaves either onto the ground or into the cylinders.
Did you look real close along the frame and front axle? Transmission bellhousing? Sometimes coolant can just creep along surfaces and drip down somewhere you wouldn't expect it. This is probably most likely... but if not then the next thing would be to see if it's burning it. To start with I'd look at the plugs.

Nope you're right. I read my old cap wrong... 1 was gone (I thought 3 was low but wasn't questioning it)
I bought the only place's cap that i was by when my other cap went out.
