I would think a blown front shock would leak or have signs it was blown, it looks brand new

I can feel and hear it in the front floorboards, like someone is underneath and hitting the floor with a hammer
I feel like this is you right now.

JLT Can Catch kit arrive and it was quickly installed.........this is the 'dirty' passenger can that seems to be more effective at catching oil, rather than the 'clean side' (driver)

I did trim about two 2" slots in the engine cover........one for each hose to sit into. I felt otherwise the hoses were slightly pinched

Seems like a good overall kit, installed in about 15 minutes













Factory PVC line removed

Around 150 miles later, I already collected a teaspoon worth of junk in the can

The truck is driving and operating SO MUCH better

I should have installed this kit when I bought the truck with 17,500 miles on it

I am currently at 47,000ish

It just seems like a smoother running engine, especially on acceleration

Odd, but seems like more usable power down low

Hard to tell so early on, I have only driven the truck 3 times since this was installed

Look at this nasty stuff, after only a week of driving.........Imagine it would otherwise all be going into the motor
