Maybe check it for combustion gases in the cooling system?
Also check the radiator for proper flow. What kind of shape is the
thermostat in?
The bottle and cap are not likely suspects on the 4.0. So changing them
won't have any effect other than making your wallet lighter.
Oh and there hasn't been an open system since about 1975. They are all a
closed system with pressurized caps and overflow tanks.
