He's a Bean counter, not a gear counter.

I was assuming he was giving me advice on my next Raptor in case it was a ten speed.

I replace the cap every 20k or one year.

Sounds like a good plan given the price of a new cap. That's cheap insurance.

, just realized this discussion was about a Gen1! Same concept, just downshift a gear or two.

I don’t think I’ve had a bad radiator cap in 35 years. I get the ‘cheap insurance’ argument but I’d have never thought of this as a “likely” candidate for failure. Live and learn.

Cap is nothing more than a spring and rubber seal to hold a rated pressure which will weaken/deteriorate and fail over time.
