Yes the cap on the radiator is only a seal. The spring loaded cap goes on the reserve bottle to pressurize.
A spring cap on the radiator will cause the truck to overheat.

Radiator caps
Our VQ40 has 2 radiator looking caps.
The one on the radiator is just a cap with a rubber seal.
The overflow has the internal spring/relief valve.
I've never seen that before. I didnt think the overflow would be part of the pressurised system.
Are my caps on correctly?

Not correct. There was a member who put a spring loaded pressure cap on the radiator and overheated.They only go on one way; cannot be reversed.
The cap with the rubber seal on the radiator and the traditional cap with the spring goes on the bottle on the fender.
