Question Coolant blowing out the fill cap

I have an 04 Excursion and when I get on it it blows coolant out the fill cap. I have a Bully Dog Module. Any help?

The cap may be under rated for the 15 lbs of pressure it's supposed to hold...
but even after that was replaced...
I let the coolant drop down to about 3/4 " BELOW the minimum mark last summer and it hasn't dropped below that since... nor overheated in Texus heat!
even with MANY WOT starts with predator....

Might be compression leak into water jacket. Better get it into the shop for warranty work ASAP.
