I havn't had it in mine, but I do know that my old Dodge Dakota had the same problem. Dodge actually came out witha baffle setup that went into the filler neck to help stop it. It was on a 4.7 V8

 

Okay I gotta ask. What is the reasoning for driving with the OD off so that it warms up together? I really want to know.

 

I guess I'm not too worried about it guy's, I'm sure condensation get's in there just like the exhaust. Now if I seen that on my dipstick that would be a different story!

 

I think with OD off the engine revs higher therefore heating up everything quicker.

 

Just to keep the engine from lugging when 'cold' . I don't want it in OD and even though I keep the speed low enough, the OD off just makes sure.

Also, I have extra 'cold' NGK BR7EF plugs in mine and they tend to misfire if the RPMs are a little too low. I turn the OD off when I'm driving at speeds below 40 mph for that reason too.

I get the same thing. The filler tube and the breather cap always get gunked up with this crap. Also the vent tube on the driverside going to the intake boot get some along with alot of clean water. I have to empty this tube every couple of days. I think bacause we have our PCV systems altered with, the intake can`t vacoom out the crankcase fumes through the PCV valve itself taking the moisture with it.

 

Not exactly for the same reason but when Sal/ PSP did my Predator Custom tune he set the 3-4 upshift to not occur until 55mph. This is slicker then chitttt! I used to turn the OD off and on as I like to ride say around town with the OD off. NOW, no more need to turn OD on and off. It's great, but of course using a tad more gas. Between the FTVB and the 3-4 upshift not occuring until 55mph, well, it is like I would drive it if it were stick shift. 8-)

 

Yes, I had an '00 Dodge Quad Cab with the 4.7 V8 and as you said Dodge came out with the baffle fix. Glad you said to help stop it as you and I both know it hid it and did not stop it. The froth or whatever you want to call it is seen over and over in todays vehicles.

 

I wouldn't run penz-crap in a lawn mower. That stuff is the worst thing for you engine. Crisco is a better lubricant.

 

how long have you had this installed..... it may be causing incomplete crankcase venting....water.., heat it up in some tin-foil
see if its water...

 

I would say maybe 6 months or about 6000 miles. I wiped the stuff out of the filler neck and thew it away. I'll have to wait a while and see if it builds up some more.

 

This looks like antifreeze. Are you loosing anything from the radiator tank or anything from the intercooler ?

Call/write for sample bottle from http://www.blackstone-labs.com/
and for $20 you will know for sure. Generally if there is some antifreeze in there, you will see alot more bearing weat numbers as well.

I posted my '01 oil test info in the used oil analysis (gas engine) forum on www.bobistheoilguy.com. (jeraa2t username)

Good Luck !

 

Nope, not loosing any antifreeze. If I am it's very little, never have had to add any.

 

The stuff I found in my oil seperator was more waxy then a froth. It was very think.

EDIT: but it is very very cold out. Like -20 degrees celcius.

 

I just love ignorant statements like this. I don't know if I should dare ask how you came to that conclusion.
