Keep your cooling system sealed and holding pressure with the SKP Radiator Cap, part number SK10231. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 1500, 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500 and 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500, and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of vehicles and engines.
A radiator cap closes off the radiator filler neck and is designed to help the cooling system hold pressure, which raises the boiling point of the coolant. If a worn cap is the cause of coolant loss or overheating, this replacement addresses it.
Signs a radiator cap may need replacing: coolant loss with no visible leak, overheating, coolant pushing out of the overflow reservoir, or a damaged seal on the old cap. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the cooling system before replacing parts.
Installation note: never remove a radiator cap from a hot engine. Let the system cool fully first.
