Our coach came with a 9lb radiator cap (that's testing as a 0 currently), but the little bit I have been able to find online suggests 7lb cap - Applied's listing for sacrificial anode cap appears to be 7lb, plus some various posts on this forum. What do you all run? Also on the topic of sacrificial anode radiator cap... sell me on this as I've never used one before.

Thanks

Ditto on the 9 lb non sacrificial cap. Pressure check at the store before you buy. I have seen 9 lb caps differ by +/- 4 lbs.
Even tho I have a new aluminum radiator that can go as high as 16 lbs. I still like the 9 lb cap.
