Coolant cap

[btfarm]

Noticed while doing a bunch of maintenance work today that the top hose is flat. Blew out the cap with compressed air but I probably need a new cap. Can those be had from a parts store or is it a dealer item?

They're not that expensive from the dealer last one I bought.

Didn't figure it was that much more. Just getting there before they close the parts counter. Thanks

Darn Mike, What's the deal. You BT's are always tearing up your stuff

You're one funny guy Barry...







:hihi:

I was kinda wondering how long it was gonna take. These things are so unreliable you know... 232,000 miles and the cap is toast! WTH!?

Damn stuff don't last like it used to.

Why, I remember the rad cap on my old 38 Packard ...

Mike, when mine hits 232K mi I hope I have had as good a run with my truck as you have had with yours.

Yea Buddy!!!

I need to change the oil and filters on mine and I keep thinking of getting a lift pump but, I always find another use for the dollars.

I noticed last time I did maintenance that I was going to be do for one of these also. No matter how hard you try, the gunk just gets stuck in that little hole.

Just went out and checked and the compressed air blowout worked for now. No collapsed hose. I'll still pick up a new one soon but won't need it today.

On the towing rig, switched over to waterless coolant and drilled a hole in the cap, so am not worried about pressurization (or in this case lack thereof) anymore Only thing to watch for is leaks which makes topping-off expensive.

I just cleaned out mine, saving my money for more ammo

So YOU'RE the reason there isn't a box of .22LR to be found in any store...

I blew my cap out this summer when I was having overheating issues. Guess I should probably get a new cap, not sure if it was even plugged but I didnt want to find out when I weigh in at 30K up a hill.
