Question Breather Bottle Gone

I have been reading about relocating the breather bottle on the front of my truck. Well I went out yesterday to see how much a pain it would be but I couldn't find it. I went and looked at another's guy truck and it was right where I thought it was. I have only had the truck for about 6 weeks so I don't know how long mine has been missing. Judging by the amount of stuff around the fan shroud I would guess it's been awhile. Now the question how much trouble is it to pull the shroud and try to clean everything down in there. I would guess that it is at least 1/4" thick around the lower half of the shroud.

Thanks
Toby

You should look into getting the bottle installed first. If you are very careful you can power wash it that should work.

I went ahead and extended the hose down and aft so it wouldn't vent at the front of the motor. So far I have used 2 cans of degreaser and about 5.00 at the car wash trying to get the nasty build up off. It's just really thick at the bottom.

Talking

Every "blow by bottle" should be taken off and sent back to DC. Whoever thought up and designed that thing had tunnel vision and the tunnel had no lights on. Probably the manager of the technical design team now.

Thanks for the kind offer but I think I'll pass. Wish I could get the front of the engine clean now.
