Gates 31516 Safety Release Radiator Cap

This item fit my caravan and it has the pressure release valve on top which makes it safer to use. It looks great and has a reputation for high quality and performance. It was at a better price than some other off brand caps.

Fits right

Top of the line quality cap for a reasonable cost. This statement is derived from when that I made the purchase. Since then (currently), and since I bought so many of them, they (Amazon), has raised the price almost $5. per item! Beware of Amazon! They like to play games with pricing ......

I had to replace my stepson's 2000 Cherokee radiator. Got a radiator locally from a national parts store. Fit fine but the old cap would not seal it properly. Got some leakage around the cap. Likely a small dimensional difference from stock to aftermarket radiator filler neck. Tried another new cap with the same small leakage. Really needs a thicker rubber gasket. This pressure release version has the needed thicker gasket as part of the design for pressure release. Worked perfectly with the aftermarket radiator. Will work on any radiator but it solved a problem on my replacement radiator.

It does what it's supposed to. Feels a bit on the flimsy side but not enough to warrant returning it. Solid 7 out of 10.

Fit great on my 95 Chevrolet 1500. Great product for a great price!

Excellent product.

Works well

The quality is there. Replaced a brand that were as good that had worn out.

Perfect

Very good fitted to freightliner

Great

Did NOT fit my 1989 Dodge cummins truck. The metal on this is thin. The plastic lever was about to break off from the sheer amount of pressure i was trying to get this on with. Not functional or useful for this application. I say stick to OEM style.
