Radiator Cap

I was told to replace my radiator cap with a 7 to 8 pound cap. They say that it is easier on the system because you don't know have that 15 pounds of pressure blowing out everything. He also said it is easier on your intake gaskets and such. Any thoughts or opinions???

Re: Radiator Cap

Keep the 15 psi cap. Lower pressure will lower the boiling point of your coolant.

Re: Radiator Cap

Why would GM put the wrong cap on? Doesnt make sense.
