Seperator goes right here

Hope that helps

BTW
This is one hell of a confusing set up, isn't it

i say one of yall leave your oil seperator mod on when you put the check valve on to see if your motor still spits oil through it. that way we can see if it works

03Lightning,
I know you said "no expert", so I'm politely questioning one of your points. NO OFFENSE INTENDED WHATSOEVER!!!--I'm just trying to get this right --the smoking @ startup is annnoying me!

I really don't think any air is going backwards from the solenoid TO the intake boot. When I was disassembling/cleaning/trying to learn about this system, I took the solenoid off. It is perfectly clean on the front side, as is the tube going to the intake boot--no oil traces whatsoever. The line coming up from the PCV going into the BACK side of the solenoid was coated/nasty/had standing oil in it. Also, the tube on the driver's side, from the valve cover to the intake tube, was coated inside--and the standing oil in the boot was centered around the fitting for that tube.

I did notice that, with engine idling, there is vacuum on the driver side valve cover fitting (hose removed). But you have to leave your finger over the hole a few seconds for it to build up--(that's why I had mentioned a low amount of air being pulled THROUGH the engine).

I'm still leaning toward a better (closing) PCV than stock unit, the check valve (upside down PCV?) on the driver side, and an oil separator at the rear inlet of the solenoid. It seems this would capture all the oil.

BTW: I ask again, does anyone know right off where the line goes that "tees" off the line between the PCV and the solenoid (it disappears behind engine). With engine idling; when disconnected, this line is pulling vacuum, as well as the one going to the solenoid. ???

Geez, I feel much better now!!!! I can see the tube I questioned (the one with the green circle) goes straight into the decomfribabobulator. Silly me.

Hey, really, Rob, you didn't have to take the cab off just to take a picture for me, but THANKS!

OK, now where's the factory "oil separator" in the picture??

the sticker, when you raise the hood, of "vacuum line routing" says oil separator on it.
