Patrick McVeigh Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 yes aluminum. truck is old not wanting to put alot of cash in it. the hydraulic pressure must have pushed the retaining ring into the cap mushrooming it out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
