Park and moments later some of the radiator fluid comes out of the overflow tube. Maybe a cup or so. But the heat gauge didn't go over 180. Came out of wallyworld and the radiator seemed full. Drove it home same distance and the same thing did not happen. Is this normal? I'm thinking about putting in an overflow tank.

By the way, I bought the truck yesterday and drove it two hours over mountains home and it didn't overflow once. And we stopped a few times for gas and such. In fact this is the first time it's happened in me driving it around town about five times. That's what caused me a little concern. Thanks again.
