    since installing my sides, I've been having cooling issues. whn i run my truck, coolant gets pushed from my radiator to the reservoir, and then OUT from there. I've tried "burping" it in case of an air bubble trapped in the cooling system. that did not work. a fren of mine recommended to change out the water pump, which i did, and that did not work. coolant either gets pushed out and/or my truck is close to overheating. I've also checked if it could be a blown head gasket, but I've checked for oil and coolant mixture by pulling out the dip stick, but there was no mixture, and no white smoke.

    wht could be the issue? & pls a possible solution.

    you might have possibly blocked a coolant passage when swapping out the intake. check your stock intake for any coolant passages and check your current intake and see if any are blocked off, then go from there.
