Hello, I have an issue with my 2011 Volvo with the ISX 15 cummins, when I am driving the truck my temperature stays arount 170 to 180 degrees, but when I stop the truck and turn the engine off, I can turn the key to the on position and watch the temperature climb from 180 degrees to 210 some times 230 degrees in a matter of 3-4 minutes and when I open the hood the upper radiator hose is pulsating and the coolant appears to be boiling causing it to come out of my overflow hose on the coolant reservoir, I have had the reservoir, cap and thermostat replaced to correct this issue but no success, Volvo of Denver could not locate the issue and I am not sure what else to do. I don't have any ECM codes, no smoke, don't lose any coolant unless I shut the engine off, and no external leaks. Please Help, truck has about 745K on it. Thanks

Sounds like poor circulation through the engine and or rad. Check for collapsed hoses. Also, you should idle the truck for a few minutes once you are off the highway to allow everything to cool down.
-
Everything at normal temp and runs good and everything ok when motor running and then boil over when shut off only can mean one thing, you have very insufficient amount of coolant and or wrong cap. There is no other explanantion but hey who knows

How does temp go up after shut off? That sounds like a temp sensor.
Cap should be no more than 17 lbs rated.
Is thermostat sticking closed?
Is water pump belt slipping?
Maybe your new cap is bad. I thought they were able to bleed of excess pressure? I'm no expert. -

So oil has coolant? How much?
Now this sounds like a bad head gasket. Or cracked head, or liner issue. Coolant will eat your main bearings very fast. How is your oil pressure? Maybe you need to get a pressure test done? -
