Did all R/T's come thru with their stupid radiator cap within the upper radiator hose?
I'd like to get rid of this and get parts (including a new radiator) from any year R/T that perhaps they did not do this with.

I believe it was up to 99 had it on the radiator. Mine isn't an R/T but, they were the same.

Wow!! I like that cold air box!!!! How did you build it and what materials did you use if you don't mind me asking? Nice clean engine compartment also!
White 98D SLT+ 5.9, 2.02 R/T Heads, 1:7 RR, IP CAI, MP PCM, PPH Headers, M1, MP Deep Trannie Pan, Detroit in back. T/S Lift, Lookin for more stuff to do LOL!
It is the factory air box with the reinforcing ribs removed from the outside of the lid and base. I wrapped it with (IIRC) DEI 1/2" reflective insulating sheet. All seams are taped with reflective foil tape. A K&N drop in was installed.
I moved the IAT sensor into the outlet side of the box. The flex line is aircraft ducting. Since the pic was taken, I added a turbo funnel to the inlet, that sits behind the grill.
Thank you

You have a tranny cooler attached to this radiator?
I'm wondering if they configured it the same way when they changed the radiator design in 2000.
9t9-5.2 I thought I recognized that tubing!!!! LOL!! I work in maintenance for one of the Big Three. Anyway thanks for the info, I've been running without the factory airbox for so long I forgot about it. I'll have to try what you did. Excellent work!

You know what becomes a problem with this Justin, when trying to use one of those head gasket leak indicators, they're supposed to be raised enough where no coolant touches the indicator as the thing reads exhaust gasses.
This is almost impossible with the hose cap because where you can lower a radiator water level, the level running through the hose always stays the same.
I should take a shot of the tranny cooler so guys with 99's can let me now if their cooler fits the same way or if they came with one at all.

Does the one on the right look familiar? The left should be 99
