What are you paying for these billet caps? Any web presence they may have once had is gone ... or, rather, has been taken from them. Thanks.

Around $67 for two keys and after two day shipping. You will have to call and order one.

Sounds like Patriot1 did. Too bad, as they look cool, just not in diesel (green) for a gas truck.

Didn’t order it yet but the cap is $50 plus 10$ shipping if anyone was wondering.

Looks like a great piece

Okay, I may be the only one who has no idea what is meant by billet cap, but I sure like the look of it. Is it aluminum? The answer to the first question may also answer my second question, but is the key round?

Billet aluminum. The key they made is custom to their company.

I’m gonna order one tomorrow

Anyone with a 2021 get this to fit? I just got back from Norfolk and tried to install it and it does not fit. Am I doing it wrong or they changed the cap from 2020 to 2021.

Just curious did you loosen the lock screw like 4 full turns? Seems odd that they would change the cap again? It fit fine on my 2020.

I just about unscrewed it. My original is a screw in. The new cap is a quarter turn and done cap. Mine fuel neck is threaded to the bottom with only one starting point. The new cap looks like it locks in on two starting points.

Was your original a screw in until it clicked or was it just a quarter turn?
