Locking gas cap for my 1998 Trans AM.

Sheesh, it doesn't have one but it does have 5 cup holders?

Kind of dangerous not to have a locking cap if you've got enemy neighbors

I tried at the autopart stores like Pep Boys and Advanced Auto Parts and their line (Stant) doesn't have one. Thanks for any help.

Check your local GM dealer they will have one

Or you could go to your local Autozone and buy one for about $10. Just ask for one for your specific model.

i got it from autozone as well. i think they are originally made for grand-ams but they fit perfectly.

CRAP!

the one at Autozone doesn't fit (although specifically said that it's for my 98 TA convert (and Grand AM, etc).

forgot the company, but it was in a grey package.

tried on 4 diff. ones, and no luck.

I got mine at advanced autoparts. It's a stant, and it's a pos. The gasket started cracking after 2 months of usage and now I get SES code. I re-tighten it and the SES goes away. Kinda annoying.

I was looking for one when gas prices spiked real high after hurricane Katrina. I found one for the 2500HD but had to mail order it from a dealer in the Northwest. At that time, GM didn't offer a locking gas cap for the '98 F-body model. The aftermarket ones can be made to fit if you grind on the plastic arrows which go in the slots to make the arrow more narrow. I thought that was a hack and didn't bother.

Of course, if someone really wants something, they'll find a way.

I got my locking gas cap for my 1999 TA Firehawk at the dealer. It wasn't particularly expensive ($15 sounds about right). I believe it was the one that belongs on a Monte Carlo. Been 5+ years, no problems with it.
