I still love me truck. But that's because I'm not driving it a ton yet. lol

So far, it isn't catching a ton, but I also haven't driven it on the highway since I've installed it.

I pulled the stone filter out and replaced it with steel wool.

Granted, he's boosted. Maybe that's my problem. I've still got all my stuff for the stock can...

Wanted to post this update. After running this setup for several months

Drained It the other day, and I got no noticeable oil drainage. Either it's not catchin or my PCV works perfectly. But I would still expect at least a little oil.
