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?

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.

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?

please can you tell me more about the numbers on the yellow plastic radiator caps

At what temperature do these lock open at? Thanks

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

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

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

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.

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.

Your thermostats are pure garbage I bought one a few days ago straight out of the box it never worked as it should.

What is the fail-safe temperature?
