Looks like I might have a small leak near the top of radiator but not sure. Truck over heats, and its not taking water from reservoir. Anyone have a quick inexpensive fix?

Is the cap in the upper radiator hose as the earlier Daks? Are you sure it's not the cap?
A cheap but ill-advised fix is to use some brand of Stop-Leak. I hate that kind of junk though. It's just a band aid for a more serious wound.
Change it if you can and don't forget to at least change the hoses and clamps if you haven't already.

New cap, new stat, doesn't leak at idle or run hot, but as soon as I drive it just down the driveway it will run hot and use up a gallon of water.

Tried the stop leak stuff nothing worked. Its just a steady drip looks like it on the right side of radiator. Funny though when it overheats the leak coming from under the truck is ice cold. Whats that about?
