  1. Never had water blowing and never had the windshield replaced.
  2. I replaced my cabin air filter a few days ago. It was making a noise and so I went in again to remove the leaf sitting on the blower. When I took my new filter out, I noticed it has blue stains all over it. The only thing I can think of is that I went through the car wash and it might be the soap they use (rainbow color). But I'm not sure how soap would find its way into that area. Or is this something leaking??
  3. Simple. It's maintenance that the customer would have to do themselves, and most people can't even find the oil dipstick now-a-days, let alone drain this can. If these things got full and clogged up the PCV system... that is bad news, and would lead to more 'warranty' claims than just not adding a can to begin with. You could argue that this could be done in tandem with an oil change, but one: Not everyone goes to a dealership to get their oil changed, and two: For those that live in colder climates, condensation leads to the cans filling much faster than a warm climate year round. Anyone trying to disprove that these things work and save your motor in the long run obviously don't know what a direct injection engine is. They cost about 100-200 bucks at most, and take literally 10 minutes to install. Cheap insurance. I mean hey, if you're gunna trade your truck in at 50,000 miles when she's just getting broken in, then all the power to you to not add a can. I just feel bad for the guy who buys your truck next. By the way, GM DOES add these on the upper line Camaro and Corvette.
  4. Just did this as well as the cargo w/ reverse lights. A tip for the foglights with high beams... Not sure if Chevy and GMC are different, or 2014 and 2015 trucks are different, but be aware that the wires may not be the same color as the guide says. Mine weren't. I went off just the color of the wires alone, and whenever I tried my high beams, the horn went off! LOL. Go by the hole number (10/18 or 10/22) and hole number ONLY.
  5. I installed mine without the separator. After further thinking, it makes sense. The catch can traps oil and water in the can, the separator will do the same thing. Except it will dump it right back in to the motor, and water going through your motor isn't good. If the clean side was a catch can set up, then I would have installed it. Also, it seems the consensus is the catch can does 99% of the work, clean side is just there for the WOT situations. If you think about the hundreds of thousands of these trucks that are out there being used, WITHOUT a catch can, and not having any problems, I think we're safe with the catch can on without the separator. There are so many people who don't even know what a catch can is and are driving everyday, so I wouldn't be too worried. Anyway, I have it sitting in storage if I want to install it in the future!
  6. Figured out my original question. However, I have another. I've read that the Elite Engineering clean side separator that goes into the stock oil filler location, is not a good idea if you live in cold climates. Where I live, we see the extremes of both heat and cold. Can anyone comment on this?
  7. Shit... that makes me nervous. I have 5k miles on mine and all is fine... I thought I was in the clear. I do agree that Ram has the nicest interior of the big 3. I just don't like how they've looked the same since '09 and the immature culture that goes with Ram trucks. Just promise us you won't put a big "HEMI" sticker on your windshield and flip your tow mirrors up when you're not towing.. Hahaha. And I mean hey.. pretty sure you'd be shunned if you bought a Ford!
  8. Whaaaaaat? I didn't know your truck was a vibrator. That's really shitty man.. especially for the top of the line model. What made you want to switch to the Ram? I would LOVE to do a retrofit, but it's completely out of my league in terms of mechanical aptitude/handiness. I'd pay someone to do it but am not aware of any local shops, and don't feel like shipping my headlights away for half a month and being truckless haha.
  9. I am wanting to put HIDs for my lows and highs, and LED bulbs to match for my fogs. We both have the projector lights, and I'm just wondering if you ever got your lights hooked up? There's so many options out there it's making my head spin. Nice truck btw
  10. Just downshift... use your engine to brake rather than your brakes! the higher RPMs literally slow your truck down enough that you don't need to use your brakes at all, unless you need to come to a complete stop. Tow/haul mode works, but not as good. You will know it's active as a message pops up in the DIC that says "Grade Assist". Hill descent control is more so for off-roading in very slow speeds.
  11. Can you guys post pictures of how noticeable gaps are from the body lift? (Hitch, tailpipe, bumpers, inside the fenders, frame, etc??)
