Free Replacement gas caps info.

THank you all

I received my first caps from IH probably 40 years ago, and yes even since the merger many dealers still will do the exchange for you. In the beginning IH dealers had an allotment for all elegable tractors each had sold new. It only ever included letter series or newer. Since that initial supply ther has never been an inventory on these at IH or later Navistar. After the orders reach a certain number they manufacture and ship. I would expect these orders become fewer each year, thus as time passes the wait time will become longer.

By the way my son got a couple of these as recently as one year ago.

I think you are being a little unfair.

Navistar has sent out thousands and thousands of gas caps. I have recieved at least 10 in two shipments.

But you know the funny thing, the originals work pretty well, and if you don't ovefill your fuel tank, and if you are not an idiot, you won't have a fire. I overfilled a C one time, splashed gas on the starter, like an idiot tried to start it anyway, and it caught fire. It has never happened to me again, and I take responsibility for my actions. I didn't try to sue anybody for my stupid act. If you see gas splashing out of your cap area it is you that must stop the tractor. The giveaway was based on people who had gas splashing out and still continued to use their tractor.

Yours was probably lost in the mail.

The late 80s Nissan Van.
With dozens of electrical problems that couldnt be fixed (despite numerous recalls),and hundreds of vehicle fires that totally destroyed the vans,Nissan had no choice but to pay wholesale market value and crush every one.(well,at least the ones that did get turned back in).
It cleared them of future litigation.
GM Saturn division had a similar problem with the first few thousand SLs when they were introduced.Quaker State supplied the anti freeze/coolant and admitted to GM that there was no corrosion inhibitor in it.GM re took possesion of them,scrapped half and serviced the other half and handed them out to Saturn dealers as executive/salesman cars.They voided the warranty on them all.

He told me it came with no warranty, written or implied.

I had no idea what he was taking about. One day the clutch linkage went out.

I was down there fixing it.

Dad's do not offer warranties!

I do wonder why I did'nt miss him more before he died.
