Has anyone heard this and is it true??
I was talking to a fellow Powerstroke owner and we got on the topic of head gasket problems. He said he was going to have ARP head studs installed ,but was told that the real reason the 6.oL blow head gaskets under pressure is because the radiator cap is of the wrong pressure for modified trucks. I have never heard this before and he said it like he knew what he was talking about. He said just go to Auto Zone and get their radiator cap and you'll have no problems. Got me wondering..... I just can't believe that a 8.00 cap can fix head gasket issues , but I could be wrong too. Has anyone heard of this rumor?
Thanks

I believe what the rumor is about is that the cap has a small spring on the valve is weak and eventually won't allow the cooling system to pressurize like it should and the boiling point of your coolant is much less if it isn't pressurized ford even sells a cap with a bigger spring I don't believe it solves all hg issues but 8 bucks for something that might provide alittle more peace of mind is about all I see it doing
