it is a lot lower now that is on the chassis rail so the bottom is the same height as the radiator

Mine is pretty high up, I tried to get both pipes to have a slight hump so that the vapour from the engine sort of goes up then runs down and same with the pipe to the intake to stop oil going back through! I check mine roughly every 2weeks and I get some oil in the can and thankfully the pipe to intake has been clear every time!

I'm intrigued by yours to see if it's better at pulling oil through to the can venting to atmosphere

I think it will be because i had it venting to the bash plate for a few days with no can and it made a wee mess!

Hi Chef, WOW you've been busy indeed with some nice mods and wheels etc. It's all coming together very nicely by the looks of it, looking forward to seeing more.

Battery failed me after all these short runs in the cold and dark.
what do you do when the truck fails to start at 1am in the horses field? go nick a battery from a fence energiser and start yourself!

Or ride home on a horse or use a horse to bump start or hitch a horse up and go home steptoe style

More to the point ....why were you in the horses field at 1am?

#1011 by 123hotchef , Sat Dec 31, 2016 2:21 pm

coming home from a friends house had to feed them didnt expect to be so late

#1012 by yozer13 , Sat Dec 31, 2016 3:10 pm

parking up in a dodgy field leaving the lights on tends to drain the battery haha

#1013 by 123hotchef , Sat Dec 31, 2016 3:15 pm

never had a problem with the battery dieing before

#1014 by yozer13 , Sat Dec 31, 2016 3:18 pm

so you regularly go dogging might be new battery time

#1015 by 123hotchef , Sat Dec 31, 2016 3:20 pm

oh yes lol

I am thinking more along the lines of twin batteries with split charge system to prevent such occurances
