    Sucked Near A Quart of Oil, Temp went to 210.

    Not sure what you’re getting at. It looks like flashing is present on the hole to the right and to the left the backing plate is misaligned. If that’s the case, I would grind the flashing off on the right and grind the plate on the left. Before I’d do any of that, I’d pull all the bolts to see...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    After this experience, even a real Mann Hummel is not worth the risk.

    That side cap readily came off. The whole this is a POS. I threw it in my GM Turbo crash kit bin which has all my OEM parts for restoring in case I had to pass Smog test somewhere.

    Where would the check valve be? What is that cover on the side of the can? Really it doesn’t matter, because I am done with this experiment.

    Same here. Mine leaked out of the cap. The effect here was like pinching your nose and blowing to pop your ears: shit came out everywhere. I probably did 30 miles like this and it was spotting everywhere. I still have spots all over the dirt from when I was using the truck to pull out...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    CKO can with ProVent filter. It was not allowing the blowby to exit to the turbo boot. Had nothing to do with the filter element and everything to do the with the pos CKO can. Never did strain enough oil for it to push past the check valve. Only small dribble made it to the check valve. Instead...

    And the 2014 4Runner rolls past 375K miles.

    After running around on errands and letting it sit, no LEAKS!

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Pulled the ProVent catch can off the ‘94. Pressure washed all the leak areas, then drove it around. It appears the leaks have stopped. Sigh, relief. That was a wasted project. I tested the check valve again. It was in the right direction and working properly.

    Starter woes.

    Who’s starter? Was it Chinesium?

    Sucked Near A Quart of Oil, Temp went to 210.

    You’re only supposed to run the break in oil for 30 minutes! I then ran Delo Synthetic Blend 15w40 for the next 500 miles. I just did a road trip to get that in and it was virtually all highway miles. Yeah they say vary the speed, but with an automatic the engine speed does not vary much. I did...

    Sucked Near A Quart of Oil, Temp went to 210.

    My Optimizer 6.5 consumed 1.5 to 2.0 quarts in the first 1,500 miles, then stopped consuming oil.

    9.9L Gas Conversion

    They don’t rust out west. The interior on the 2005 is superior and it still has steel bumpers. Can take a conversion much easier.

    9.9L Gas Conversion

    I agree. My ideal conversion would be a Duramax LBZ into a 2005 Suburban 2500 4x4

    They said it gets 8 mpg

    9.9L Gas Conversion

    This is pretty slick, but I imagine the mpg are like a boat.

    5% means 6” across the 10’ width. I can get close to that.

    Understood. I have a laser for that and property has a natural downward slope front-to-back.

    No French drains. They clog and roots grow in them.
