Help with radiator cap problem

I have a 98 2.5 and i just ordered a radiator off ebay. Everything looks good except my radiator cap doesnt fit the new radiator! I read a while ago about another member having this prob and i cannot find it for the life of me. Does anyone have any input that could be useful with figuring this out??? Thanks

I had that same problem when replacing my radiator years ago. I tried on our Tundra cap and it fits good. So I went to the auto parts store and asked for an 03 Tundra radiator cap and used it till today. You can try that to see if it will work for you too.
