Rad Caps
General n00b question, but is there a option above the pep boys special for these things? For some reason my car likes to kill them.

So to bump this up, yet again car is leaking from between rad neck seal face and rad cap.
Overflow is not blocked and hose is not kinked.
Any ideas on why these things die so fast?

I’m on my 3rd one as well, exactly the same issue. I actually have a spare in the car now. Running the 18psi Delco one from Amazon.

Try for a true delco one. Amazon looks like they are throwing motorad ones in delco boxes. Try rockauto or ebay

Got new radiator, new hoses, and a new cap installed.
RIP 1995 OEM rad

Lol it's always crazy how radiators can look so damaged but not leak and still cool adequately
