2002 ford ranger edge 3.0
So after doing my head gaskets I start the truck for a while get everything sorted drive to town and my coolant exploded out the thermostat housing. Get to auto zone replace thermostat and gasket (spring in engine) then I warm up the truck then my radiator exploded in the parking lot(very embarrassing) then I replace the radiator today, drive the truck on the road and then the hose directly in front of the thermostat housing pops off and coolant gets everywhere leaving me stranded . What's going on ??!?!?!

when you start up the truck, leave the cap off, and make sure there's nothing weird going on first. If it bubbles like crazy then you still have an issue.
After things settle down, put on a brand new radiator cap.
also, you could have a failed water pump. Check that first.
