I put a Motorcraft YU5Z-9030-AB locking cap on mine and it seems to be fine. I've had it for about three years now.

I actually got my last replacement from Walmart, think I paid around $18 for it. I have the Ford locking cap on mine since new (04') but bought a spare. Stant makes the caps for Ford so it is not a quality downgrade or anything.

This should be the one. Mine is downstairs somewhere so the part # isn't real handy. Another link More Information for STANT 10502

Thanks for the feedback guys!
I saw the Ford one on amazon, thought i read a review from an SD guy that said it didnt fit so i wasnt sure. Is this the one? http://www.amazon.com/Motorcraft-FC1...ar=1&carId=001

I also saw that stant one which is cheaper, but if you guys have good luck with the Ford one than i will definitely buy it

The one you posted in the link is the exact same as the Stant cap I have except the Stant cap just doesn't have Ford on the sliding cover. You can pay twice as much for the same cap as the Stant if you have to have the Ford logo but it is kinda a waste. I'd rather spend the money and buy an extra Stant for a spare. They do act up on you when they get worn. Ask my dad, he used a huge channelock to pry his busted locking gas cap off at 4:30am so he could get gas. Good thing his son had a spare close by at the house.

Do the gas trucks use the 1/8 turn caps? Cause mine threads on, but it's a diesel so maybe they're different.

Yeah from what I've seen the gassers use the 1/8 turn. Same for similar year Explorers, Crown Vics and etc. Of course there are some exceptions.

I've been using the stant, works great. Be carefull one is threaded I think that may be the flex fuel trucks, the other pushes on then 1/4 turn no threads.

Should be. You can double check your OE cap.

Currently waiting in line in the local wal mart. Only has two 10502 but someone stole the damn keys. Found an identical one in a different box so I'm gonna try it out and hope for the best...
