Not the case! I just checked, and in fact the caps are not interchangeable. The pressure cap only fits on the overflow tank. Also, the manual states that the tank is pressurized.Pappy wrote:Pressure cap should be on the radiator.
I just dont get it, both of mine have springs and have the same pressure rating. I have an '05 also. I asked something about this quite a while back. I had the radiator flushed at an independent garage and I wondered if they mixed the two caps up when reinstalling them. The Dealer told me they are the same part number... In other words, the reservoir and radiator cap are the same.There is a cap for the rad and a cap for the overflow bottle. Which cap goes where? 1 cap is just that, a cap. The other is the pressure cap with spring assembly etc in it rated to 15 PSI.
I must have something different on mine. The tank and the radiator are pressurized. The tabs are the same, the two caps are totally interchangeable.Not the case!

There are tabs on the caps of different widths which would prevent them from being interchangeable.
Let me know if you find something different. I will try to post pics later.
I wonder if someone replaced your non pressurized cap with a pressure cap?BMXPath wrote:I just dont get it, both of mine have springs and have the same pressure rating. I have an '05 also.

Yes my pathy is a canadian model.BMXPath wrote:Ok. Thanks for the pics, I see what you are saying now. My dealer (when I lived in Texas) told me that they were the same part number. Maybe check with a dealer in your area.
I wonder... Did you buy your P-finder in Canada? Maybe there is a difference in Canadian and US models.

On second thought, I'll get back to you on this, lets say in June! LOL
What about it Terry, how is the weather in Winnie?
