Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 16psi Radiator cap

I just got done changing out all the rubber coolant lines and flushing everything out. While ordering all the lines I threw a new radiator cap into the online shopping cart. What I got was a 16lb. Stant cap instead of the factory rated 15lb.



Is there any reason this will cause the system to exceed it's rated pressure? Rockauto only has 16lb. caps available for '96 Dodge trucks

The Chilton manual I have lists the pressure for 94-98 trucks at 14 to 18#. b
