I come from the Jeep world and alot of guys would install a catch can on their hemi engines. Has anyone done this on the Durango yet and if so what mounting location did you use?

Funny you mention that. My R/T has 1100 miles on it and was smoking noticeably today. I took it for a good drive earlier in the day. And when I started it up again later on to go back out, it was smoking for a couple minutes in the driveway.

If you're unfamiliar with the HEMI, let me tell you about blowby. By design, a an amount of oil goes through the PCV line and back into the intake manifold; enough so that the intake runner becomes saturated in oil. On some HEMI's this leads to surging when coming to a stop as the oil dumps into the engine and gets used up in combustion. I have had a catch can on my Charger for 30k miles and have emptied approximately 16 oz. of oil and other nasty particulates in that time. It's not a big deal, but not crap I want going through my engine.
I have not gotten one on my Durango yet, but I do have plans to.

I contacted Billet Technology regarding a Durango setup and they pretty much blew me off. As far as I know, the fittings on the catch can itself are all the same, correct? Meaning there is no real difference between a catch can for your Charger versus one for the Durango........its just the mounting bracket and location that would be different, right?

Here’s another can; it looks like this one is easier to drain than the BT one. http://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/85479/10002/-1
