Did you recently change your coolant? Chect the return check valve (metal disc in the center of the radiator cap gasket) and make sure it's not stuck to the gasket.

Mine will do that too sometimes due to lack of fluid flow from the upper manifold and tstat when cold. __________________ 93 F250 7.3 IDI S/C XLT 4X4 E40D 3.55LS, Captains chairs, Tutone Mocha, Leer 48" Hiboy cap, FR & RR hitches, full DeeZee running boards.
