Coolant issue

Alright everyone I am having issues keeping coolant in my truck. I have a 2006 Ford F-250 6.0. I have done the headstuds oil cooler upgrade egr delete basically the whole bulletproof setup and have been running that for 2 going on 3 years now. I have had the head gaskets tested and there is no crack, no signs of leaks anywhere. I was told that I should change my thermostat and that should fix the issue. Is that true? Any advice is appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

A bad cap could allow too much pressure out of the system, making the coolant disappear with it.
