Very nice. I wish I would have found this before I re-routed mine. Anyone know how long this has been available?

Those have been out for a while, but with a price tag between $200 - $300. Your re-route will get the job done and leave your wallet full.

Say ldornak, how are those rv275's doing for you? Any gain or drop in mileage?

After 300K Plus & excess blow-by since I drove it new off the lot, I rebuilt the head.
Interesting that Cummins decided to forego using guides.
Replaced the valves, added guides, Fel-Pro Head gasket, new fasteners and replaced the exhaust manifold (which cracked years ago).
FWIW, this B-Series has always had blow-by and dripped oil like a teat-less bovine. When I fired it up... no more blow-by (as in ZERO BLOW-BY).
The water leaks (i thought was a porous head)
disappeared, no more exhaust spit and I drove it 8,000 miles and the oil level remained full...!
I tell you, I thought I have a new truck and with a RoadRanger 6 Speed I'm going to run it till the doors fall off.
You need a fresh NV5600, I have one FS.

I ordered that kit from a TeamTruck Center up here in Canada and it was$69.00. Works good, except I did extend the breather tube down past the sway bar. Before that, vapor was still getting blown around by the fan.

Mr. Mike.
