Hey Im in dayton too! Good to see Im not the only one.

What do you mean radiator hose cap? Is to block off the heater core hoses? (I hope not, its cold out there right now, 20 damn degrees cold) I dont know if they sell that kinda stuff there or not. You could just route some bulk hose in a big "U" shape if you need it done now.

I just checked out your myspace..... I bought a set of seats off of you not to long ago. Hows that project coming along? you ready to sell me those volks yet? lol...I did a quick search for those caps and it looks like NAPA carries them, but I saw a few people complaining that they only lasted 6 months on their mud jeeps before they started to leak

Probably not a good idea to try to cap off your heater hoses. I went without heat for about 6 months due to a busted heater core, and I just disconnected the heater outlet hose from the pipe below the throttle body, disconnected the heater inlet hose going to the water valve on the firewall, and ran the inlet hose over to that pipe under the TB. That bypasses the heater core completely.
