willi2ds Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've swapped in a bottle out of a Dodge Intrepid into a couple different jeeps. $10 or so at a yard and comes with a regular rad cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberDuck Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've been able to buy brand new overflows at auto places here when i rebuilt a cherokee, and a while back when the manche started to leak. its was about $40 IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 But the one in the older Comanches (and Cherokees) is not an overflow tank. It is a pressure bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willi2ds Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm telling ya the intrepid bottle is one of the cheapest/easiest mods I've done. It gets rid of that cheap a** plastic cap and replaces it with an actual rad cap, it also sits the bottle lower so no more bumping the hood Several of my friends have done the swap and have NO more probs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istaywikkid Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 sweet thanks!!! what year should i spot out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willi2ds Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 There's a few years but I'm pretty sure I grabbed off of a 96 v6 model. It's pretty obvious when you see it. I'm pretty sure there's a few other Chrysler models that have the same bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istaywikkid Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 alright thanks so much man I'm gonna go to the junkyard tomorrow and hope they have one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugalo Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 ditto on the Intrepid bottle. I suspect that any mid-size Mopar would have a similar bottle. Love that real radiator cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 the guy wanting to sell me the one out of the 95 said he wanted 5 bucks for it, thats why i was ready to jump on it lol. my manche is my daily driver and has been down for the past week its killing me! lol Won't work. The '95 tank is just an overflow catch tank. The early, closed system tank on the firewall is a pressure tank that is a part of the pressurized cooling system. The cap is a pressure cap. Quadratec sells (or used to sell) new tanks and caps. If that's too much for you, some other GM and Mopar cars have used similar systems over the years and I've seen reports of junkyard pressure bottles from other makes that work. I think even the Jeep Liberty uses a pressure tank. Check Quadratec, and visit your local u-pull junkyard. See posts #11 and 16 above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
