I have a 1996 Dodge 3500, 5 Spd w/Gear Vendors OD. Only 156,000 miles since new. I have a Banks Pwr Pack, BD Baby Bee Turbo & their remote exhaust brake. I have done just about everything else I can think of. Runs great and we use it to pull a Carriage Cameo. My main irritant now is the blow back problem. I have a home made catch container installed, but since installing the new turbo and exhaust brake, this has not been enough. We recently went through MT, WY & OR without seeing a drop of oil until returning to Sequim, WA. This trip and the last, we pulled into the Indian casino at Pendleton, OR and had oil dripping from under the breather tube. The truck handles the mountains on I-84 thru OR just fine, but it is a workout. Also, the BD exhaust brake works so much better than my old PAC brake, and coming down Deadman's Pass into Pendleton I think there is a lot of back pressure. My mechanic has eliminated any other leak than the breathing tube. I need some thoughts on what crankcase venilation kit I can use. I really liked the FleetGuard CV50115 kit, but it appears it's for the 98-02 engine and mounts at the front of the engine. I've sent them an email, and am waiting for their reply. In the mean time, I'm asking you guys. I would prefer something I don't have to crawl under the truck to check on and drain. I would love to just have it go back into the crankcase where it belongs. Thanks in advance. Mike N.
