How important is replacing your radiator cap at coolant change?

[Beanmachine7000]

What's an "alternator radiator cap"?

Is that like an alternator flush? Out with the old voltage, in with the new.

I need to flush my alternator soon... It's getting kinda plugged I can tell...

Come on 88, you know you are NEVER EVER supposed to flush the alternator without changing the filter. And you better replace the gasket when you pop the cover.

Come on now, this is Ford's design. Not that GM design where they had the alternator cooled by engine coolant.

Ya for the search engine.
