i have a 97 2500 and was wondering how much blow by usually comes from the tube under truck. It really don"t use oil, maybe a quart between oil changes.

I put a catch bottle on the end of mine about 5000 miles ago (to protect the ashphalt driveway) and I'd be lucky to get 1/2 a teaspoon in the bottom of the bottle (2-3 ml). Kevin

Re:blow by

Is it just blowing smoke from the draft tube? What kind of oil are you running?
