Check out a thread I started....

Your right in an aspect of it being a filtering system... all it does is catch the oil in the can that is being misted from PCV to the intake side of an engine...which should not be happening.. why doesn't dodge do this from the factory...simple answer is emissions in todays world....and then the normal joe blow can't even remember to change his/her oil...they can't expect some one to change this every 3000 miles on there own. Hope this helps a little bit

Im an E8 in the US ARMY. Coast guard? AWESOME. Had some friends try to join....didn't realize it was also a law enforcement agencies. needless to say they had some "stuff" on their records in which prevented them from joining....oops. Congrats brother.
I will check out your posts in regards to the catch can and respond accordingly. I posted some pics of my trucks on my profile. I tried to upload more than 3....wasn't able.

E8, very nice! I am just a lovely E4 haha, working on it trying to get up there! Yea the CG is pretty tough to get into these days w/ the CG being a heavy LE agency..Is that big horn on in your album yours? Looks good!! I'll tell yah I love this RAM, and the mods just never stop...a good free mod is the B-Pillar tape removal (free) I'll post a pic below and put a stubby antenna on $12 from pep boys (prevents the whistling noise I heard when driving on hwy w/ windows down) plus it looks better.

B-Pillar black tape on ... (some people like this mod and some don't to each his own though, plus it's free!)
