According to napaonline.com, the '99 and '02 have the same PS cap. :huh:
the master and ps caps are the same for 97-2004 and possibly other models as well. I found this when I did my prototype R&D. Some other caps are different though.
Per Randy's spreadsheet, PS1 caps were sent to all 97-02 trucks, and PS2 caps were sent to all 03-04 trucks. The PS1 cap is wider but shorter than the PS2 cap.

The thing that really has me scratching my head is the fact that 24 kits received PS1 caps but only 7-8 people complained, and only 5 of those caps have been returned to me. The people who sent them back do not have a consistant year/make/model to make me think that Randy's spreadsheet was only off for a particular year.
Let me put this out there one more time...

Except for the 5 people who already sent me their caps... If you were part of the original group buy and your power steering cap is too large, please send me a new Private Message so I can give you directions for shipping your PS1 cap to me so I can try to get Randy to exchange it for you. Do NOT automatically send your cap to the address on the original box - I do not live there anymore.

Let me remind you guys of the rules behind the PS cap exchange:

Ok I was finally able to get ahold of Randy again...

We were able to compare notes regarding the large caps, and it appears that there was a mixup between the two caps - what I thought were PS1's were actually PS2's, and although Randy's spreadsheet indicated a separation by year, the differences in caps are primarily engine based.

A total of five people have sent me their oversized PS caps - 4x non-anodized, and 1x blue anodized. I have 1x of the non-anodized caps on hand, which was promised to QUAD DAD since he was the first to respond on the issue. Randy said he will send me some non-anodized caps so I can take care of the rest of the people who have already responded. As soon as they're in my possession I will forward them to each individual. The blue anodized cap will need to be replaced as soon as group buy #2 is filled since there is a significant batch fee for each color.
Thanks.... I mailed my cap, so I'm gonna assume you have received it and I am one of the 5
Cool, looks like I'm gonna be waiting for awhile though:(. Atleast it is getting fixed.:waiting:

I sure hope I get it before the big show in September. :huh: Don't forget about the tranny handle that you said you had also. :waiting:
Not to complain or anything Steve, I don't want to sound like a nagging wife or anything, but why do you answer everybody elses posts but not mine, or my PM's. I mean, this GB has been going on now for over a year. I just want a stragiht answer, YES you are sending the tranny handle and the P/S cap cover that you claim to have, or NO you are not sending them and I will have to wait. You have had my incorrect parts now for over 3 months and at that time you told me you had the replacements. It's not like I am asking something for nothing, you have my money so why can't I have my parts.

End of rant.

YES you will be sent the replacement parts. You didn't like the excuses I was giving you, so I stopped giving them. In hindsight it was a mistake for me to promise you the two extra parts I had on hand, because they technically weren't mine to send out - I'm not the vendor, I'm just the middleman relaying information back and forth. I thought I would be done with this long ago and could ship out what I had on hand plus take care of everyone else, but it's been extremely difficult to get everything organized and relayed to Randy because of all the changes in my work & home schedule. All the free time that I used to have during the workday vaporized, and by the time I get off work Randy's shop has been closed for over 90 minutes. Randy and I wanted to make sure we had all of the proper information on hand about what happened with the PS caps before any actions were taken, otherwise we could just end up with more problems. Once everyone else sent me their caps I was finally able to set aside some time to contact Randy during his business hours - he was kind enough to stay at the shop for a couple of extra hours so we could get this hashed out, and the moment we had things settled I updated the thread so everyone knew what was going on.

YES you will be sent the replacement parts.
OKAY, when??? By the way, I don't like this excuse either.
Sent you another pm for cap exchange info. I also need to know which one is supposed to be the ps cap, since mine aren't engraved. Is it the deeper cap? Here are the caps I have left, since I only used the rad cap. I'm assuming the upper right one is supposed to be my ps cap.

The upper right one is the power steering cap.

Thanks. :)

Welcome.

Also the brake reservoir cap is the bottom right, and I think the washer fluid is the upper left and the bottom left is the radiator overflow cap. Might have mixed the last two up don't have the truck with me right now. Don't really matter for you though because you have none of that stuff left, lol. :D
Checking in to see if there has been any progress on my missing cap.

I made sure the WR220 was still on the list the last time I talked to Randy, I'm still waiting for the package to arrive.

Well it's been another two weeks and still no replacement pieces. Now whats your excuse Steve? As another member had stated to me, 'if this would have been any other member doing this GB they would have been banned'.

I am trying to get everyone taken care of simultaneously (except mthandt because he's anodized, and I already said that), and I still haven't received Randy's package. I have tried getting ahold of Randy a couple of times to see if the package has shipped but as I've said multiple times he's a tough guy to get ahold of.

You're welcome to reimburse me for the dozens if not hundreds of hours of personal time I've devoted to this project over the past three years if you continue to be frustrated that I'm not moving fast enough for you.
