Radiator overflow problem

Hello all,

Does anyone know how to solve the problem of the radiator over flowing through the cap after you use your programmer.

it does it without the tuner too. mine really stinks unless i turn on the water inj. with the water, it never overflows.

i kinda wonder if the exhaust is gettin hot enuf to boil the coolant in the egr cooler tubes.

I wish I could help you. I only use the 45 hp and the 65 hp modes. I have no coolant lose here.

There is reports of this happening without the Predator while pulling heavy loads uphill. Coolant should show at the Min level on the degas bottle. If you unplug the EGR, unplug it with the key off. Normal closed. Make sure the system is keeping pressure.

I Have Noticed Overflow Too, I 'am Running The Banks Six-gun Bundle I Noticed When I Let The Truck Idle For Extended Times Or When I Try To Let The Turbo Cool Down After A Long Trip
