    What's with the oil catch cans?

    wheres the smoke? in your picture :ROFLMAO: RPM again has no factor in the MAXIMUM FLOW through a tube... RPM does not increase the volume of air... if it did all engines would balloon up when revved... it does however increase the potential blowby and pressurization due to this. but your PCV...

    Shell rotella gas truck oil - Pretty good price online right now

    Cool! Got "1 dealer oil change" worth... so I have 3-4 years of oil changes now :D

    What's with the oil catch cans?

    You obviously rebuild quite a bit and work on the engine more than the average driver. so there will not be any oil buildup since it would be cleaned and maintained. Hook up 10k# behind it and run 100k+ miles... then check your intake for oil... RPM does not come into account of calculated...

    Stop and go shudder/vibration

    I have the same thing on mine, and you can actually feel it more at 1-5 mph in a turn. I have the 3.92 differential and the 6'4" bed. It almost feels like wheel rub in a tight turn (for those that have used oversized tires) but it continues in a straight line as well. I was suspecting the hill...

    Catch Can believer

    The big difference is that it would be mixed with the gas if poured into the tank. since it is on the pcv path, it can reach the intake when the valve is closed, causing oil to enter the intake and backstream through the intake to the MAF/MAP systems. If you want to see what this looks like...

    What's with the oil catch cans?

    You apparently do not know what molecular separation and angular velocity is, which is critical to any true engine builder. Your statement is correct for a thru pipe and minimally correct for a baffle system, size does help slow flow. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. The primary volume...

    What's with the oil catch cans?

    Preventative measures are never too late. better now than never if you choose to install one. If you look at many engines that are still on the road well past 200k without catch cans, The big thing is keeping the oil and sludge to a minimum within the intake, and the burnt oil collection in the...

    Adding OEM Front Camera?

    The back-up camera on the non 360 view models is digital?

    Adding OEM Front Camera?

    No, when you flash it for the second camera input it is not an app within the Android auto or anything like that, it enables the camera options when the cameras are triggered. there are a few different ways to flash it, from alpha OBD and also getting independent flash modules from I believe...

    What's with the oil catch cans?

    I work at a national laboratory... collecting samples and date is a daily life for me... and my oil samples, and catch can drain container sit on my desk and gets a lot of "oooh what is that" until they realize its just engine oil :ROFLMAO:

    What's with the oil catch cans?

    Yes, my magnum had goo... drooling off of its throttle body which is what drove me to catch can this truck. Im not worried about the octane decrease, or rare chance of carbon buildup on the piston/head, it is just to keep the intake assembly as clean as possible.

    Adding OEM Front Camera?

    Thats the problem right there... getting an app added to either of those is years of work. using a camera switch on pin, i think 31 and 32? which is the backup camera, would be the quick and dirty way... but the best way would be to flash the cargo cam option and pinning it into that port. Im...

    Please post your Tire and Loading sticker

    Yours is very close to mine, I have level 1 so less technology weight, but I have the massive power folding tow mirrors with built in LED markers that are apparently lead lined... Working in upholstery as a hobby, I can easily understand why the options with leather have a reduced capacity, my...

    What type of trucks do we have

    We decided on the crew since my wife and I are both 6ft, the odds of taller kids are in our favor. and currently with the younger kids the dogs have the entire floorboard to their liking, licking, whatever dogs do :ROFLMAO: .

    What's with the oil catch cans?

    I recently installed my catch can at 2000 miles on the odo, 3 miles after my first dealer oil change. now, 7012 miles on the odo, 5012 miles down, my catch can has collected almost exactly 100ml of oil/stuff. no solids that I can see, but definitely more oil than I was expecting. has any one...

    wow after seeing the results, I guess i realize why the Line-X guy said mine is rare.... I have the Crew cab with 6'4" bed 1500. I was the second ever in his shop in knoxville tn!

    Engine, rear gear, type of differential

    Looking at these stickers... it should say "The combined weight of occupants, cargo, and ACCESSORIES should never exceed:"

    Tow / mode question.

    This makes sense to disable... if you setup your trailer properly and close to level, but then it drops the truck, you will be nose down quite a bit, or if you have weight distribution it would be severely stressing the setup.
