chech this link out. seems this guy took the time to make a kit to eliminate all the oil crap from accumulating all over the fan,radiator,and engine.

kinda looks like crap dont ya think?

 

With all the extra hose length and bends I would be afraid of it kinking or freezing up. What's the matter with just removing the bottle and extending the hose a few inches?

 

That's what I did torque fan. Except I forgot to zip tie the hose up and it hit the fan. Talk about scaring the bejesus out of you.

 

Why does this not surprise me?

 

That might have made me run from the truck or hit the deck !!!

 

No comments from the peanut gallery.

 

Well, I think the kit has merit, it would solve the lost oil on a steep hill. I just think he needs to get the price below 40 bucks. I found a Dodge oil cap on the road outside Camper World Sunday and I am going to make my own kit up. SNOKING

 

Dude you scored free oil cap the kit means well but yes price is steep

 

I found the breather unit on the Napa site. I should be able to do it for 20 bucks. SNOKING

 

Easiest thing to do is simply get about a 6ft hose that fits over the nipple that comes out of the vent and run it back to your transfer case and dump it. Really cheap and no mess on the front of engine and differential.

 

Yes a lot of people do that, however that does not solve the issue of going down a step incline and dumping 2 or 3 qts of oil out of the engine. Run the hose up and providing a second place for the engine to breath does resolve that issue. I saw someone else that installed a similar breather at the top rear of the valve cover. That took alot of machining to the valve cover to create a spot for the breather. SNOKING

 

Hi Folks,
Just to let you guys know, I'v relisted the kit with a better description of the mods to the parts. I'm sure there might be a few guys out there with a lathe and welding tanks that can put a kit of similar quality together for fewer bucks (cost wise). Considering the time behind the multipal machine operations to do this RIGHT, 30 bucks is a fraction of what I would charge if it were gun work! All in all, you get what you pay for, most of the time! Thanks for the comments, Good and Bad.
Be Well
Walt
