A radiator cap with a thermostat built in. Seems useful to have. No idea if it actually will be though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/370570996817?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Anyone ever try one before?

I'm paranoid about my temp gauge not working and not finding out until the motor is boiling.

I want to get 2 one for the geo and one for my ford van. but while the price is insane its a waste if it won't fit. I thought all radiator caps were typically the same size? any reason to believe ours is a different size cap?

So I'm fairly confident it'll fit mine. If not, I could always cut a hole out of the hood for it. Put some plastic trim around it so the thermometer pokes up nice and even through the hood.
