99 Runner Radiator cap....what brand ?
I just purchased a 6.00 cap from autozone and it looks like a royal piece of junk.
Their computer screen showed 13lb cap.
Somehow, I know I'll be returning it.

Anyone have any details on a good brand ( stant etc) and where to buy?

thanks , kenny S>

Toyota OEM is what I'd buy.

From experience Stant caps work well for American makes but are garbage for Honda/Toyota.

$9.99 to ship a freaking $10 radiator cap?

That $6 cap from autozone works just fine. It has replaced the cap on my new radiator, which crapped in 6 months.

OEM - I'd hit up the guys at TRDParts4U (Toyota of Dallas) and see what they can do for you.

I'll gladly fork out $20 shipped for a vital OEM cap before paying $6-8 for a god-only-knows-how-long-it'll fail cap.

I'd probably just go to my local dealer for a small thing like that.
