I've put 3 radiator caps on my truck in the last 2 years, is this normal?

I've been using Gates brand caps from Rock Auto and i wondered if there was one that would last longer than the Gates brand, i had a Stant brand cap on it before that and and my radiator blew up and caused me all kinds of problems but ever since then I've been using Gates brand and when i start losing coolant out of my tank I just replace the cap but shouldn't they last longer than 6-8 months with them never being taken off? I just check the coolant level in the recovery tank because every time i take the cap off the radiator it's full but after 6-8 months with the Gates brand cap the coolant spews out of the radiator when the truck had been sitting for 2-3 days so that's not normal is it? I tend to think it wouldn't be normal

Added (1). 1988 Ford f-150 xlt lariat, 5.0 engine with AOD transmission

Added (2). oh and when i replace the cap the problem goes away for awhile and i don't lose any coolant for 6-8 months and then i get concerned and replace the cap again

What's wrong with my 2004 Ford F150 Lariat?

I have a 2004 ford f150 5.4 triton3v. 137000 miles. The truck will run while cold for about 20 minutes until it is up to normal running temp then start to drop rpms, shutter then shut off. If I attempt to put it in drive or reverse, it will do the same thing, drop rpms and then shut off. I have replaced the TPS, as well as the throttle motor, it has an electronic throttle on it. I have also unhooked the battery and placed both negative and positive together to drain the PCM for more than a minute and no difference. If I get it on the road and drive it, it runs fine until I come to a stop at which point it stalls again. I also had a code for a cylinder 4 missfire so I replaced the coil for that, not to mention the fact that I just replaced all spark plugs three weeks prior. Please help, I don't know what else to do. No other codes have come up.

1997 ford f150 xlt extended factory radio system?

My husband has a 1997 ford f150 xlt extended cab and I'm wanting to upgrade the factory stereo system for a surprise
but I'm clueless on what to buy?
i.e.
are the rear and front speakers same size?
I believe the radio is a double den but not absolutely sure? I like the "in dash video receivers"
would it be wise to buy new speaker wire as well?
we're middle aged I'm not looking to recapture our youth in a tricked out system in these things but we like to hear the music so i'd appreciate any recommendation on the system receiver and speakers.
thanks 1997 ford f150 xlt extended factory radio system - 1
