Does that replace a catch can?

Yes, and its actually more efficient than using a recirculating catch can

 

In mine, I used a catch can but really is the same principle, you evacuate crank gasses out for good, and cap the stock PCV system shut:

 

[Paintor]

No....leave pcv valve so crankcase gasses are sucked into port on drivers side intake manifold. Fresh clean air comes in via filtered air. Stock is piped after air box filter for filtered air.....but 0 weight oil getting vaporized comes into intake and cooks on valves.

No to mention, the guy in the video is an idiot for letting it just drain to the ground...

[jrob56]

Said the heck with oil catch can....K&N valve cover breathers.

I have a feeling you'll have some oil mist in that engine bay.

I guess I need to check out "Apple CarPlay" that y'all are hyped up about. I hate cords. I go through one every 6-9 months in the truck. I only use it for charging my phone when it absolutely needs charging. Otherwise, I just let everything go through the Bluetooth connection. The only thing that I notice when I'm plugged into the center console is the cool little album covers per song and I don't get the hiccup every now and then that I get on Bluetooth. I admit I would love to do a hidden cord that comes out where I have my phone mounted, to the left of the steering wheel, kind of the bottom corner of the windshield but not if I have replace the cord every 6-9 months. I use Apple's cords, what are y'all using?

 

Sorry to temporarily sidetrack the thread.

The best cords I have found are the anker powerline+ !! Solid cord, takes a beating, affordable

I ran the cord from the USB port in the centre arm rest out the back of the arm rest console under the back of the lid (hope that makes sense). It kept it out of the way and easily accessible. Never had an issue with a cord wearing out too badly either.

I did that on my wife's car and mine.

 

Put one of these babies on my console to complete it

Where's the <$1 mod thread???

Good idea! I just let it dangle behind the console but this would have been a good addition.

I wired my fogs as DRL...

 

- Opt7 Cree V2 LED bulbs (http://www.opt-7.com/cree-v2-series-led-fog-light-replacement-bulbs/)

- 5202 female pigtails (https://www.amazon.com/PartsSquare-Connector-Foglights-Pigtail-Harness/dp/B014STAQ0M/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1505801201&sr=1-2&keywords=5202+female+pigtail)

- micro2 fuse tap (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHVVMNH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

 

Installed LED bulbs... plugged in the new 5202 female pigtails to the LED bulbs... ran wiring to fuse box on driver side under hood and used an add a fuse tap to tap into misc ignition fuse...

 

now fogs come on with ignition..... this along with the "spring removal" in the headlight switch makes for a great setup

Just thought of a <$50 mod to do, sometime between now and the end of the year, for when/if I use a U-Haul trailer or the like.....

 

"Rear-view Camera/Mirror" - <$40, wait for Amazon to deliver by end of this week, plus 30 minute install (at most).

 

Buying the parts later today, with a few other bits/pieces that I need for some other projects. I'm buying a "wireless" license plate camera and mirror set. The mirror "clamps" onto the existing mirror with the wiring and receiver tucked away above. The camera gets added to a power source on the trailer, grounded to the trailer.

 

For a U-Haul, I'm going to connect it to a 4-pin plug, get a 4-pin extension cord and tap it into the connection at the back of my truck.

 

For the truck-bed trailer (longbed w/wo shell) that I'm eventually going to get and mod/build, I'm going to connect the camera to the taillights (permanently). This will assist me on lane changes and be ready to go when I backup. When I attach the trailer on my front hitch (when I install one), I'll just need to plug it into the front plug and I'll be able to see where I'm going, while I'm pushing it back.

So this in theory should work on the 17s so our leds are all on in the front and no stupid break lights on in the day

they way i did it... yes... it can work on ANY vehicle you want..

 

just bought a set of female pigtails (for a 5202 bulb in my case) and wired them to an ignition fuse in the fuse box under the hood... come on with ignition, stay on all the time (even with high beams) until you turn the truck off

 

did this with my D Durango as well
