I'm at 15 mile and scheonherr. I talked to a guy at detroit speedworks and he too recommended getting a cap. I did at the dealership and so far its working. I was probably losing coolant through the waterpump and not holding pressure through the cap. Thanks for the offer ta12sec. If you want to get together sometime that would be cool. I don't know anyone around here with a new fbody, all my friends have stangs or vettes. So if you want to get a beer or what ever drop me an email. BTW nice hawk!

Yeah, the cap seems to be holding the pressure. I also had a slow leak with the water pump gasket. All fixed and going good so far.
