Yeah, that's where I got mines, I'm surprised on the price. I thought it was going to cost 200 something dollars great deal!

No it didn't. If it did I wouldn't use it, but I wouldn't expect it to come with one with a price like that. I bought one from a local dealer though. Been over 7 months since I flushed with new hoses, thermostat, WP.

Lol and if it did you wouldn't use it.... Although I'm glad it doesn't come with one that way I can just get a TRD cap or something in that nature, I'd love to hear your logic, and I mean a logical explanation on why a company like Denso would manufactor a radiator you WOULD use, but would not infact use the cap they in this situation well say they would have included. hahahah....I've never used any cap other than the ones that have came with the radiators I've swapped with, which were what we here in Los Angeles call "Sun valley specials" the cap, has outlasted the radiator lol!! That's some funny ****** my man... But I dig your standards, I'd be putting one I wanted on it anyhow but still, I'd have no second guesses of it's stock functionality.... Anyhow! Thank you for your reply my man you've been, as well as everyone else, very helpful and I appreciate it very much! Cheers

Lol! I know why you or anyone would think that way, it makes no sense. I mean I would use it if it came with the radiator (I forgot to mention) if I never bought the cap from the dealer before getting the radiator online. (I could've returned it but rather not) I was basically going to buy everything from the dealers, but ended up getting only the cap and the red coolant, thanks to a friendly customer that referred me to buy the 11 piece Timing/WP kit from eBay and the radiator on Rockauto, saved me hundreds of $$$'s. If it did come with one, I would've stored it till the next required flush. But hey, didn't come with one so its whatever lol.

Your welcome though. Oh I also had to add some tranny fluid (forgot how much) due to some being drained from old radiator.
