Need a radiator cap and truck runs WAY COOL - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck never really gets hot, it seems to run very very cool all the time.
I can drive 30 miles, get there and pop my radiator cap right off.
Is this from having to cool of a thermostat in the truck maybe? Any ideas?

Also my radiator has had a leak in it and I got my new aluminum Radiator today, maybe this is part of the cause on running cool? not building pressure properly?

What radiator cap PSI should I get? Is that the correct term? lol The radiator did not come with a radiator cap so Ill need to pick one up and wondering what to go with.
