What if my original radiator cap doesn't work?

Stock plastic aluminum models of radiators normally will use the same cap style as the dealer original. Sometimes with certain foreign applications, the aftermarket radiator may use a different cap than stock. If you receive a part, and the cap does not fit, you can either visit your local parts store with the radiator. You can measure the radiator cap connection diameter and fit a cap based on their size. You can also contact us via a support ticket and we will respond with a cap number that will be stocked at your local parts store. Most of the parts we sell that may require a different cap will come with this information on the e-mailed invoice.

"Radiator Expert Tip" - Don't panic if the cap doesn't fit. The local parts store will have a cap that works for your radiator. If we have the part on file, rest assured we will provide that to you at point of sale."

My Radiator Cracked on my Mitsubishi, What can I do?

you would want to put the same vehicle radiator back in. 03 Mitsubishi eclipse. They may have used the same radiator in some of the dodges and that is why someone mentioned that. For a stock replacement visit www.RadiatorExpress.com
Radiator cracks are a common occurrence and many things cause them - overheating, stress, vibration, pressure. None of which have anything to do with the actual "radiator" unit. If you have a reoccurring problem with cracks - then have your vehicle diagnosed for other issues. Normal procedure is to replace the radiator and keep eye on any signs of overheating in the future. In the event the vehicle runs too hot, pull over and let it cool down to prevent failures such as cracks.
The radiator is normally the first unit to fail in a faulty/malfunctioning cooling system. They even sometimes crack due to extremely cold weather..

If you want to avoid this type of situation - then you can look at the all aluminum racing radiators we have listed on www.Racewayparts.com They will be sturdier and provide better cooling capacity than the stock unit. However, they are often custom fit items and may require minor adjustment on the customer's end. We many manufacture red by CSF imports and Mishimoto.

We hope this information was helpful and wish you luck with your purchasing decision.
