Gen II GTS locking gas cap???

[96GTSBW]

Does such an item exist? The "normal" mopar locking cap is too thick for the outer door to close. Can any one recommend a source if one exists?

I believe that I bought mine at Autozone or Checker. It looks like the one pictured here: http://forums.viperclub.org/rt-10-gts-discussions/608400-locking-gas-cap.html

Sorry, it has no identifying numbers or maker; but, I think that I bought the one mentioned here: http://forums.viperclub.org/rt-10-gts-discussions/570095-locking-gas-cap-5791-same-5991-a.html

Here's another thread that indicates that it is somewhat of a crapshoot when buying a cap, whether it will fit or not. Probably depends on who they source the cap from.

pretty sure any locking cap that you find in a parts store will work fine. its not viper specific

Might be able to buy at AutoZone or goto www.cstinc.org/. The manufacturer is CST, Inc. (Cooling System Technologies). The product number for the correct cap is #5791.

Got my locking cap for my '97 GTS from "The Zone" too. It works fine and fits under the filler door no problem. I've since upgraded to a MGW chrome gas door and it works with that too. I don't have the part number for you though. I thought it didn't really work at first though because it didn't seem to tighten properly. Then I realized that I needed to lube the surfaces with some Zaino tire protectant (or whatever you've got) to make the contact areas that seal the cap to the filler neck slide a little better. After that it started doing the "click-click-click" as gas caps do when they are fully tightened. Now it works like a charm. It was an in-stock part too...not a special order like the local Dodge dealer had to do to get a simple oil filter for my '08 SRT-10 yesterday. Arrgh!
