On my Cat Motor C-15 475, I replaced the cap, but the old one did not have any numbers on it. The local parts guy told me that what he could look up it called for either a 10 lb or 15 lb pressure.
I asked him what difference it would make and he told me that if it was a 15 lb and I went to a 10 lb it might run hot since it wouldn't hold back pressure right.
He said that if it was a 10 lb and I put a 15 lb pressure on it there would be be no harm in this.
I bought the 15 lb to be sure. Both were the same cost so he was not selling me a higher price item.
What is your advice on this?

Actually, since Cat didn't put the radiator or cap on the truck, a KW dealer would be a better choice. Just give them the last six digits of your S/N and they can look up the exact cap used on your application. No guessing involved.

it's true that cat didn't put the cap on, but they certainly DID tell them which one it was getting ; )
