Gotcha, so do you have to remove the hoses in order to drain it with that one? Is there a recommended time or amount of miles I should be inspecting/cleaning those lines going into the catch can?

Long story short, I had a self-induced problem. You can read all about my bonehead mistake here. In the thread it was noted that the catch can should be removed and cleaned about once a year. I did not have to remove the can to drain and I won't have to with the Radium Enginerring kit. In fact, the kit should allow me to route the drain somewhere much easier to deal with, but I am still working on that routing.

Thanks for the info, I would have never known to take a look at it again after install. Keep me updated on how the replacement kit goes and best of luck!

Default Bbk throttle body

You ever considered doin a bbk throttle body since you already have all the other upgraded air stuff done? Would be interested to see what Geoff and them really think about these and if they use one on theirs...

The install was super simple if you follow the directions on the Full Race website even if you're like me and you haven't messed with anything like this before.

The interval for checking it is recommended at each oil change but after 1k miles i thought i would see if this thing was doing anything at all so i checked and this is what came out...




I filled up this gatorade bottle to the top and then had to grab another bottle which i filled up about 1/6th of the way. I was shocked after only 1000 miles to find that much. I am very impressed with how smooth the truck now runs especially how it responds when I'm doing 30-40mph in the cold and then stomp on the gas. It used to slightly hesitate but now its a good clean take off and it doesn't hesitate at all any more.

I also went and changed out my plugs which i apparently should have done a long time ago. according to what I've seen with my current tune set up i should be right around a .24-.26 gap and when i pulled the old plugs they were all somewhere between .36 and .39 which is waaaaaaayyyyyyy off lol








Man I wish they made one that didn't require you to have to take off the engine cover cuz I went and had mine professionally painted!

Either that's new or someone takes pride in their engine. I would say the latter, sweet.

Geoff and i have talked about it and even with all the other stuff upgraded he said he didn't see me needing something like that at this time.

LOL! No shaming intended.
Was just complimenting him on his clean engine.
Tough trying to keep it clean when you use it everyday.
