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.

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...

I have been on the fence about this mod for a LOOOONG time so when i was lucky enough to pick this up used from another forum member at a great price, i couldn't pass it up.
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.
