I know this vid is over 5 years old... But please explain the differences and usages of vented and non-vented caps.
They make garbage thermostats. Just spend the extra coin on almost any true OEM.
Thankyou for the great advice
Went through a few thermostats on my 2016 Jeep Rubicon the last 18 months. The OEM thermostats for jeeps have been on backorder for years with no end in sight for whatever the reason. I noticed the first thermostat failure had motorads name on it. Looked for thermostats everywhere. Long story short….these motorad thermostats are the most garbage POS money sinks on the market and guess what? Doesnt matter if you buy from Autozone, O’Reilly, Napa, i’ve had to buy a few now and they are all MOTOCRAP brand as embossed on the actual thermostat, but hidden in Duralast, etc. packaging from anywhere you get them. I would have rather spent $200 on a thermostat that doesnt leave my family stranded on the road every 6 months however it seems like you can’t escape this companies deceitful packaging of turds. I would rather be robbed cause at least the robber isnt hiding. Let me guess….motorad offers a warranty to replace their old turds with a fresh turd. That doesnt help with the expense of flushing the OAT coolant each time or the road that I am now stranded on with no help. This is just my experience and opinion of course but felt compelled enough to leave this comment to hopefully save some people from the frustration. My thermostat has gone bad again and am hoping to find ANY other brand thermostat in stock somewhere.

Please clean that blanket
Aftermaket parts maker aem:you called?
Cool story bro. I've never heard a hype man describe a thermostat... but I'm all in now!
I’m on my 3rd Motorad radiator cap. They seal once (once) if you have to open the system up, be prepared to replace the cap again, as they will not seal properly afterwards. The top gasket always leaks!
So, is this supposed to be the replacement for the Stant Superstat?
I read that the vented gas cap prevents vapor lock on an older 1976 Chevrolet c20 truck. I'm looking for a vented locking gas cap for this truck.
These suck! They will get stuck open when they don't need to! Definitely don't use them on the 4.0L Jeeps!
Short and simple explanation, Thank you
I bought one and there is not gasket
Boy this is a load of crap. My 03 mach 1 reach 240* which is definitely over heated. I had just done timing chain tensioners, so had to drain the coolant. Thought I burped the air out. Guess not. But come to find out this failsafe thermostat didn't stick in the open position. And it doesn't open 100% either so I've been running 200-204. Just changed to a conventional one and haven't seen over 195
Moi j’ai fait le sens inverse j’ai mis le thermostat dans l’eau
Ive purchased multiple Rad Caps and when tested using my PSI tester none really hold up. I've got a 2010 FX35 and the rad PSI is 20psi.... ive ordered 3 rad caps, all OEM and they start to leak at 15PSi.... its super annoying because all my coolant ends up in the expansion tank. But i noticed the neck that cmaps onto the filler on the rap caps are a big "warped" not sure if thats normal, so i'm going to use a plier to straighten them and test.
How do u clean around the inner cap and radiator opening? I noticed when antifreeze drys up it gets harder to take off and put on. Thank you.
What's the best cap for a dodge neon 2000 playmouth LX
Why did you explain each cap except the one that came on our new radiator like the yellow plastic cap on the end ? Ours is actual black but plastic and none of us could get that cap off it would turn a qtr or half the. But still stuck any advice . The radiator is a CU1826
What happened to wetting the rubber seal so the tester is working correctly?
Well said,thank you
Thanks !
Which one is better..safety cap or plain cap
Mine looks like the second one from your left. It’s an older model 2005 Nissan Murano. I keep getting over spray on my engine. I thought by changing the cap and putting a better clamp on the overflow hose would help but still getting over spray. Can it be the pressure is releasing from the top of the cap? How do I fix that? Thanks!!
3 degrees… Fahrenheit or Celsius?
3 degrees Fahrenheit by each 1 pound
Beware! Just recently changed a radiator cap and nearly destroyed the engine as it wouldn't allow the coolant to return to the radiator from the expansion tank and resulted in the engine getting hot as most of the coolant went out of the overflow in the expansion tank.
That's what you get from aftermarket caps.
Was this the result of installing higher pressure rating cap e.g. system requires 15 psi & the cap is 20?
Which cap did you get
@@aboodmki3 No I changed it to the correct psi for the car and it didn't solve the problem. I then put the original one back on and the problem went for a year. Anyway the problem just started again recently and this time I noticed a slight leak on the radiator. I changed the radiator and it's fine now.
Which cap are you complaining about? The Stant with pressure release? I had a friend tell me that the Stant ones don't allow back flow is that true?
If the origin cap missing it was 16psi , and iam only have 2 option available for the moment , first install 12psi or 18 psi cap , what can i chose safer for the moment?
12 bc you dont want to over pressurize the cooling system. Might cause a hose to come loose etc. But dont run on 12 for too long also bc you might be loosing coolant through the reservoir. Then you'll be low on coolant. Which will cause engine overheating and leading to heads warping and/or head gasket leaks.
please can you tell me more about the numbers on the yellow plastic radiator caps
At what temperature do these lock open at? Thanks
Normally thermostats fully open 10-15* above the rated begin opening temperature. At about another 15* they'll go into fail safe open. I've tested them at 235* lock open. 50/50 anti freeze is good for 256* with a proper cap. Many @2020 GM pickups show 260-280* on their gauges as normal. 😳 And the gauges go to 300*.😳 Those might be rated higher. (?) BTW ALWAYS test your cap with a pressure tester. Youll find even MOST new caps are not up to spec.
Hi . My Radiator Cap has a Spring and a Rubber part that Fell into the Radiator. Is it going to cause any problems to the Engine? What should I do? Thanks
Curious if you had an update?
@@phillippardo5712 I took the car to a mechanic shop, they took off the Radiator and open it up. Everything came out but it Cost me 200$
It has no effects to the cooling system.
@@tanzaniacarschannel6975 it definitely would if it blocked the radiator piping... then your engine can overhead and you could blow a head gasket 🤦🏽♂️
I have a Pontiac solstice 2.4 liter and I don’t see a radiator cap just reserve. Is this right?
whats the best cap for dodge challenger 6.1 srt8
The one that holds 18psi
Thanks for the explanation, though I wanted to know more why you would choose a radiator cap with or without the pressure release valve. My mechanic suggested I buy the radiator cap without the valve and I don't know why. It seems like he is just either old-fashioned or suggesting a cheaper replacement radiator cap.
I have a very hard time unloosening my radiator cap , should I be pressing it down Hard first as I unscrew it
I have the same problem, how shall we do it?
Yea on some caps you have to press it down and then turn.
Warning! These thermostats fail too! My car overheated, but I stopped before any engine damage. Sure enough, the original thermostat was stuck closed. I bought a fail-safe thermostat, with same 180 degrees, and still the car overheated again! I ended checking water pump, but that was brand new because timing belt change. Long story short, the new fail-safe thermostat was defective, and it was not opening, really?? The lesson? Do not assume that brand new parts work as intended.
I guess that answers my question which is: What if it doesn't open in the first place if the filling inside is blown or became defected?
All these local auto parts store sell is garbage, brands I have never heard of, no one wants to sell quality parts because they cannot make 300% profit. I had to order a Stant Cap online, never go cheap on radiator caps, belts, hoses and batteries, these will all leave you stranded on the spot if they fail.
Rock Auto is a good place to buy brand name at decent prices, but you won't really save much unless you stock up due to the shipment costs. I let the computer pick for me to save money on shipping , it works in my favor 80% of the time. Summit sells stuff at regular price but they usually include a 15% off coupon for your next order.
Use only OEM Radiator caps or forget about it. Only aftermarket caps I would recommend in terms of quality compared to OEM is dorman caps. But 99% of the time they are the same price as OEM so just go with OEM.
@@igotanimac1 Dorman biggest piece of crap from China. (personal experience)
@@MrP71 You have to get the Dornan products that specifically say Dorman OE Solutions. The ones that don't say that are just third party sellers that use the Dorman brand to sell their lower quality products. You also have to properly torque the parts and install them correctly per OE manual instructions. OEM is superior, but if you ever have to get aftermarket, only go with Dorman OE Solutions.
Your thermostats are pure garbage I bought one a few days ago straight out of the box it never worked as it should.
Some of their radiator caps are also garbage.
What is the fail-safe temperature?
180
