I recently had a thermostat problem and i went ahead and pulled the t-stat till i could replace it. when i replced it i thought all was good. But now when i start my truck, the temp gauge stays low untill it warms up, but then it shots all the way to the top. when i pop the hood and go out and let pressure off of the rad cap, it opens the t-stat and runs normal. Im not sure if rad caps go bad or what the problem can be. any help would be appreciated.
