    Do you have some pics of your oil catch can installation? The ones you posted in the install thread and your build thread have disappeared!

    Thanks! That's all I needed. Thinking about going there or down on the frame in the wheel well with mine. Although I don't exactly like the idea of it being exposed down in the wheel well.

    as long as you have a good can that seals up properly, it shouldn't matter if it's exposed down there.

    I was thinking more along the lines of exposure to sticks, rocks, etc.

    gotcha! yeah, i'd keep it out of the way of those. if space is the issue, just run a smaller can and check it more often.

    whatever cheap one is on Amazon/ebay. it's a piece of junk. look to spend at least $75-$100 for a good entry level one that will hold up.

    Whadup! long time no see! I tried to clean the engine bay, but didn't mave much luck.......that's an old picture :eek:

    how are things in Kansas?

    it was when i cleaned the truck last wednesday. not much, if any, oil in it yet though. what we drained out at your place was a good 7 months of build-up. i don't get quite the acumulation that a lot of people who post up seem to get.

    my guess is that is because the hose that breathes the passenger side head into the intake tube in stok form, is vented to atmosphere on mine, with a filter on it :notsure:
