Radiator Cap Replacement

[AgExplorer]

I purchased a replacement radiator cap (Stant - #11227, 13# rating) and when I was under the hood to install it, I noticed the factory cap was rated at 16#. All of the replacement caps I have found are rated at 13#. Is it OK to use the 13# cap?

I had same finding...just to be safe I decided to buy a Ford replacement. You pay more and it is the same as the stant, but 3 more PSI

I sent an e-mail to Stant and they replied that the correct replacement for the '95 is part number 11233. It is a 16# cap.
