Re: Intercooler Cap?
Basically from what i understand which is basically nothing, the Upper IC never reaches pressure enough to even bleed to the overflow, i have had clear lines for some time now and the only moisture I see is normal condensation. You can cap the fitting off on the Upper IC and it will be suitable.
This being said theres no need for the stock replacement cap. As mentioned, you can use many cheaper, similar looking, caps from your local parts store and they will work fine.

Re: Intercooler Cap?
This is true, but remember that temp and pressure are relative, so someone with a stock truck with EGR enabled and a weak IC pump could generate enough heat/pressure to need the overflow. Most won't (shouldn't).
Another PN to the batch - Gates 31333 (13#) or 31336 (16#). And the good thing is that both of these are plain aluminum caps (not black or covered with a big dorky yellow sticker). Don't spend more than $7.99 for that thing either.
