Overheating help
Own a 1990 f150 with a 302 5 speed. I have been driving on the highway back and forth between Wyoming and Colorado. Every time I drive the anti freeze boils itself. I just replaced the thermostat and all the anti freeze. The water pump is about a year old. Please help me. Also whenever I put it into fifth it grinds really loud and doesn't allow it to stay in. Why is that.
It's a Canadian thing eh!

Did you also replace the rad cap when you changed coolant?
And 5th gear grinding and not staying in could be a result of worn shift tab/fork or sleeve and only allowing the gear to stay in half way grinding the syncro, also could be the 5th and rev shift rail.
