    Hi everyone! I recently changed the core Radiator on my truck, I've noticed that now runs hotter and keeps dripping coolant from overflow tank, I have to top it off every other day (1gl), has anyone have had this problem? Thanks.

    also check your hoses , one could be collapsing after warmup, they should be stiff,
