HOLY CRAP BATMAN YOU ARE SCREWED


just kidding, do a search, common for our trucks, your intercooler probably is caked in oil. need to remove supercharger and clean it. Nothing too really worry about but if you clean it the car will perform better. get an oil seperator.

 

Just try the search function here. You will find a ton of info on that subject..

 

hahahaha yeah, now that ive looked around im guessin that im not the first guy to be on here freakin out about that. i just ordered a pvc valve kit from lightning enterprises. hopefully that with solve my issue. another question its a 2000 but theres only 27,000 miles on it. should i still clean the intercooler?

 

I would... I need to clean my 99 with 51k miles on it.

Mines going to look bad, I think.

Yall just aint right! That one was too good to resist. I know he meant pcv kit. I just installed one on my 03 and I am workin on a check valve for the oil filler cap to vent it .

 

i must've read oil-in-intake threads for 2 days straight and finally said fark it, i'll live with the oil in the boot. too many opinions and too many differing conclusions and results.

 

Slick_Sammy -

I feel your reading pain, here's what I've concluded after reading off-and-on for 1 & 1/2 years: Plug the 3 hoses going to the upper plenum, lower manifold and intake boot and put 2 crankcase breathers one each side of the engine, there a ton of pics describing the process on here.

On my '03, here's what my intercooler looked like after 16k with stock PCV system:

Here's what it looked like after 30k and trying the "dime" mod where you replace the passenger side PCV valve with the valve EV-98-B and where you plug the hose going into the upper plenum:

http://www.100mphclub.com/phpBB2/alb...hp?pic_id=1487

My intake boot was actually clean, so that's why i'm putting breathers on, the "dime" mod didn't do crap. I don't want to tear down this puppy to clean ever again!

Cheers

 

hey thanks guys it looks semi-difficult but i think i can set my friday aside and get it done cause ive got a few goodies to bolt on and a couple more on the way.

 

where can i find more info on fixing the pcv valve, and installing an oil sep?

 

If you do a "search" on here there are probably a dozen articles on "how to install a separator" - where to buy the parts, what parts, etc. Also you'll out why some guys use them, some guys don't - and some like me that used them and took them off. And you'll find a lot of "results" from a lot of guys who did a lot of experimentation - can save you a lot of time and trouble on all the "gadgets" and "decives" used to try and stop the flow of oil vapors in the intake. And maybe money - you won't have to spend the money a lot of us did in finding out things that either didn't work at all, didn't work well - or seem to work on some vehicles but not on others.

okey dokey. i have the supercharger pull kit in its way. (3 gaskets 11 bolts $80.00!!) tonight ill grab as many of my tools from work as i can carry. tomorrow im gonna dive in. just lookin under there bout makes me wanna cry. this is close to about as technical as it gets. ive seem plenty of pics, and read lots of posts, but if anyone could score me a video of someone cleaning the intercooler that would be cherry.
