Gates Radiator Cap 31523 Review

customer used some type of snake oil to prevent leaks which sealed the radiator cap leaving it "open" and leaking and smoking. I cleaned and flushed the system and this plug helped.

Gates make excellent radiator hoses and straps and I have to say a very good radiator cap is worth the money. Made in Mexico only complaints but I have seen several others made in Mexico as well. boo I fixed my old cap that was leaking coolant. The delivery was quick enough. There are no complaints yet. Will be updated in time if anything else changes.

This is a 15 lb sealed cap for under $4 that fits my 1990 Chevy K2500 350 TBI pickup. I have just received mine and it is 2 flanges not 4 flanges as pictured and made in France. not Mexico. For me the number of pinky grips doesn't matter and I don't see why this might be an issue for some to the point where they give it a 1 star rating. Anyway, it's been 5 years since my last one and it was a rubber gasket that was starting to leak a bit so that's been a decent lifespan considering where it's…
