I4 radiator in a 96 with a 4.0...

[Alaskan96XLT]

hello all, I don't know if anyone has had this issue... but until now, I had no idea that I could possibly have the wrong radiator. I recently replaced the hoses and my thermostat. I was gonna replace the cap, it was a 13pound one... ordered a 16lb one. it doesn't fit. 3.0 radiator cap is the same type. but on rockauto when I looked up a inline 4 radiator cap, it was the 13lb one. I purchased this back in 2008, and im thinking someone installed the wrong radiator, unless I got a weird combo?? any help would be appreciated.

Just go to the parts store and buy one. Should have them on the shelf.

I don't think you can have a 4-cyl radiator in your truck. IIRC the 2.3L radiator connections are backwards from the 3.0 and 4.0, so you can't readily hook a 2.3L rad to a 4.0.
