Radiator Cap leaking

I have a 99 F-350 Power Stroke, manual transmission. I pull a Ranger boat and a fifth wheel with my Power Stroke. In 2000, pulling in New Mexico...had a heater hose jump off the fire wall...and the truck did get hot. Replaced heater hose and never had any more trouble with it. Pulled to Colorado this summer, a few days after arrival, smelled anti-freeze, checked blowing over on my battery. After checking it out it looked as if I needed a new cap. Went to the radiator shop, no leakage in the radiator, could not check the cap...new cap from Ford lasted about two days, leak again. Back to Ford, could not check the cap, new cap, lasted until I got back to Texas and that new cap has started to leak. Truck does not get hot, the radiator is okay. What should I try? Been to three Ford dealers, none of which will check the caps...just bring it in and we will work on it. Anyone else out there with the same problem? texas c
