Not sure of the proper name, (breather or blow by hose).

Does anyone know the inside diameter of the breather hose that's connected to that bottle in the front of the engine???

I'd like to get a short piece of pipe to use as an insert to joint another length of hose so I can extend it towards the rear of the truck.

I've recently noticed that I'm getting much more discharge of oil from this hose. Anyone know why this oil discharge is increasing?????? I now have to watch my engine oil level a bit closer.

 

does anyone know how too remove the injection pump drive cover? I want to adjust valves, need to know where TDC is.....

 

If you do any off roading you might consider this design.

or go to my Pictures in my signature...

It won't freeze up or plug up...

It won't spill oil on steep down grades

it does dip a little but uo can remount your bottle if you like..

You no longer smell the crankcase vapors...

 

Bottles? BOTTLES? BOTTLES!!!!!!????????

What's with the bottles?

I didn't get one!!

 

Check for a TSB for your model truck. My 2002 had a change because of the massive amount of junk this bottle discharged. It was a whole new breather system and was installed by my dealer for free.

Worth checking into.

 

The size is 0.75". Be careful when you extend it so that you don't have any low spots in the extension. Also I would be careful how far you extend it, it's supposed to vent to atmosphere, too much restriction can be bad.

 

Check the threads for the valve adjustment. You don't need TDC. I always use the opposing cylinder system, works great. Just turn the engine so that number six is between the valve opening, ie, the one valve closes and the other valve just starts to open. Then adjust the number one valves. The same for two and five, and three and four. You can use a socket on the alternator and turn the engine backwards to do it. Only takes a few minutes.

 

I just got some 3/4 hose at the hardware store and a 3/4 plastic barb coupling and a hand full a cable ties. The best way I've found is to reroute the hose over the starter that way you have a nice down slope to the rear for any drainage.

check this out! http://www.walkerairsep.com/quality_works.asp it recycles your breather emissions and seperates the oil from the fuel burns the fuel reuses the oil.

 

how much? that oil bottle cummins came up with really blows my mind.
