Degas bottle puking need help!
Hey so here's my issue I drove from Baltimore to Atlantic City which is a 155 mile drive. I get there and it smelt like coolant so I poped the hood and seen coolant all over the intake, battery etc. I was driving cruse control at 75mph and there was some hills where I was hiting 25 pounds of boost for a period of time, but mostly sat around 9-14. It's was 80 degrees out,
my coolant temp was 185-190
EOT was 190-200
Trans was 175
So my question is do I need to buy a new cap?
Is it my HG
Truck has 125k

I was told it was the head studded who knowns.

There have been so many threads about this. The common story is:
Make sure the coolant level cold is at the minimum level or below.
Either monitor coolant pressure with a gauge or install a new cap.
If over 18psi or cap blows off coolant again it's either EGR Cooler (your deleted), heads cracked or head gaskets.
Having studs is not a bulletproof addition to preventing a head gasket failure. The proper gaskets, surface finish of block deck and head surface, and head condition, flat and crack free are all essential to long service. If any are overlooked there can be a future issue that studs won't prevent.

I would also be sure it's not a crack in the degas bottle, or warped cap surface on the degas...it's not unheard of.
Like Jack said, try a cap first but look for leaks elsewhere, I'm betting like Jack is that the coolant trashed or messed up the IA sensor or the IA2 sensor located on the intake. The IA sensor is part of the MAF IIRC

As Mike said, inspect the degas bottle surface where the cap seals. It could be warped or uneven. Smooth it down (sanding) if it is.
The loud whining you noted in your earlier thread could easily have been pressure (exhaust gas) relieving from the degas bottle cap (even though you did seem to find a few leaks in the intake system)

Also - do you still have the battery cover for the driver's side battery? It can keep moisture away from the PCM.
