My truck has the stock crankcase breather bottle. It is making quite the mess and getting oil all over the underside. Got a few questions however as when I am sitting on level ground at a stoplight I see smoke coming from both sides of my truck. I can take my oil fill cap off and smoke comes out of that hole and I see smoke coming from my crankcase breather when I shut my truck off. It appears to be smoke coming from my crankcase breather but I wanted to make sure I possibly don’t have a bigger issue since I am getting smoke coming out of the valve cover oil fill hole. I don’t recall this issue previouslay but have noticed a stronger smell of oil as of lately as well. I don’t get any oil coming out of my valve cover, just smoke. I have been reviewing the crankcase vent mode, however it seems quite a few have done this mod due to steep grades, however I haven’t been on any extreme grades. 

Vacuum line for sure.

If it was me I would replace all those rubber joints with fresh vacuum hose. Problem will be solved. 

Yep, that’s the plan. Gotta get oil at oreilly’s for my truck and my wife’s car tomorrow anyways so I’ll put vacuum hose on my list. Still gonna do the breather mod,tired of the oil mess.

 

Any idea what size vacuum hose?

As much as I don't want to shop at Walmart you can get oil there much cheaper then orilys, while you're there get some 2 stroke oil for adding to fuel, it's the supertech stuff in blue jug. 

Bigger vacuum line might be 1/4 and rest 1/8 but don't quote me on that. I actually used some vinyl clear line on mine just cause I had some. Get it at menards or places alike for cheap.

Don't say the Menards word! ??

I use this and usually have an oreilly rewards card and keep them for oil.

Why not lol, it's all same garbage 

Yes but I despise menards. It's the worst garbage. 

Yes every time I need some lumber I have to throw at least 2 boards aside just to keep one, and by the time you get home seems like few other ones decided to get twisted, everything else they sell is about same. Funny how they don't even bother you anymore when you bring things back, they just take it, kinda like Walmart. Garbage in garbage out....vinyl tube seems to be okay though, but probably causes cancer in California.

So what does it do in Idaho?

 I keep wanting to call Oreillys' as ''Oilys'' Auto parts.

 

Don't know if this is of any interest, but I have a flatbed that has the fill neck on the bed rail which makes it harder to pour in 2 stroke oil. I used to use cardboard paper towel tubes inside the paper towel rolls. This helps pour by having a slope with a cardboard tube and later use it to help start the fire in the woodstove. Having done this many times using other than Supertech, was never a problem. However, by chance I decided to try the Supertech brand. What is interesting, is how quickly the Supertech soaked thru the cardboard and made a mess on my hands. Was interesting in that it seemed awful thin like oil.

 

Anyway walmarts are too far so I use the 'Oilys' brand which seems better to me for this reason. Who really knows?!

You get a condition called, 'Potatoe Skin' from it.

It causes your lumber to be straight, at least, what I bought the other week.

That's a heck of a Woody.

I don't know what it will do in Idaho but in North Carolina it's been known to make you look like a chicken.

Isn't that lumber used by  Transgender contractors

 

Sometimes they make chicken breast with it

I once went through two complete bundles of stud grade 2x6's to find 20 good ones for damn fence boards. It's junk.

One thing for sure Menard's aint got a monopoly on that. I always enjoy going for some 2X's only to find they stacked all the cull lumber in front of the good. HD and Lowe's are also suppliers of boat keels.

I am just now reading this, you guys/gals are funny 

I got my fluids changed today and fixed my tee. The top part was 3/16 and the bottom section was 1/4 inch.
