Coolant reservior cap
I juast watch a video done by powerstrokehelp.com and he sugested a replacing the cap on the coolant reservior with a $5 part from advanced auto (stant brand, I belive) however when I read a review on that part, people say it is crap. Any suggestions?

I always kinda thought that his theory mistook a symptom for a cause. The caps had issues BECAUSE coolant system pressure spiked. The cap issues did not cause a head failure.

That said- I have no idea what the failure rate is of OE cap.

I didn't know that. Thanks.

Like him or hate him, maybe Bill H was on to something about that OE cap being a bad part.

This is how big your wallet is when they start on your truck.


And this is how big it is once they've finished with you. And there's no guarantee your truck will be running right after......

I just steal that pic from the Internet, but I could probably photoshop ol' Bill in a diaper.
