Dumb question - but, someone told me that the newer trucks dont have a blow by bottle...is this true??

 

Thats correct.

 

Yep and am I glad it does not have the bottle. On my 01.5 I had to empty it about every other oil change. The absolute biggest problem with it was the location. It was mounted directly behind the fan. The fan blew the oil all over the front of the engine. What a mess. I have never even seen one drop of oil on the driveway from the 03.

 

How does it vent?

 

I guess it just drips while driving down the road. I can see that there is oil on the hose but I too have never seen a drop of oil on my driveway.........

 

Sorry, what I should have asked was, does the tube come from the front of the engine and run straight down , or? I haven't seen a new truck up close, so I was wondering what they came up with instead of a breather bottle.

 

Vent tube comes from about the middle of the valve cover, crosses over to the driver's side of the engine, then straight down to about level with the bottom of the oil pan.

 

Mine vents on my bellhousing...makes a **** mess.
