Dorman - HELP Engine Coolant Reservoir Cap P/N:54253
Dorman 54252 coolant recovery tank cap for the 1984-1995 Toyota 4Runner 4-cylinder 2.4L and other vehicles replaces a cracked or lost original reservoir cap. The cap is application specific, with dimensions made to match the reservoir cap on certain vehicle years, makes and models.
A cracked or missing cap is a reason to replace this part, and coolant residue around the reservoir neck can also point to it. Before you replace the cap, rule out a leaking reservoir or hose, because coolant loss can have other causes.
This cap is a direct replacement for the original on the 1984-1995 Toyota 4Runner 4-cylinder 2.4L and the 1984-1995 Toyota Pickup 4-cylinder 2.4L, and it was reverse-engineered from the original equipment to fit.
