Sorry for bump, but can someone please answer my question, I'm planning on buying one soon. Oh and they should fit on the 2011 right?

Which is the right part number? Amazon shows different types for 11504 and 10504, one is a screw in and the other has the triangles.

Apparently people say they both fit, so that is why I am asking if the 11504 feels cheap, because reviews say the 10504 feels cheap.

I just bought the CST Locking Fuel Cap from Autozone for $12.99. Part#5805.

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...artNumber=true

They had another that was slip-on with triangles on the shaft but it didn't fit.

Drove a lot today and no check engine lights.

How does it feel? Does it feel cheap or anything?

The autozone cap does feel a bit flimsy, but for what it does, not gonna regret it. In comparison to the oem though, I would say same level of cheapness.

I think that if you're on the fence about any locking gas cap, you may as well just buy it and save yourself the pondering. If you don't like it, you can just put the original back on.

Found out that you can even remove the oem with the attached plastic cord by getting a flathead and popping off the push pin holding it on.

Oh alright, thanks for the response. So it pretty much feels the same as the oem cap? How does the lock feel, does it feel like it's loose or anything? Oh and the cap fits fine right?

Yeah that's true, but I'm not sure if I should buy the Stant or the CST.

Cool, thanks for the info, I'll be doing that when I decide to switch caps.

Since no one is really responding, it makes me feel like not many people have locking gas caps. Is this true?

The cap is pretty clanky but I think it'll hold up. Initially, the CST will seem like it's hard to remove but just take your time and read the directions printed on the cap about how to remove it. After I read them, came off easy every time.

Alright guys. I got a check engine light and took it to the dealer this morning. He calls back and said that they ran a diagnostic only to find out that the aftermarket CST locking gas cap was the culprit. Loose thread.

$109 since it's not covered by warranty! Woulda just been better off getting the DefenderWorx.

Lesson learned.

UPDATE: Service Manager was cool enough to let me slide on this one. Think I'll invest in the DefenderWorx now!
