Well with 2 broken trucks taking up my home garage, an the weather not being very cooperative lately, a leaky valve cover on this thing is being addressed for me by someone else :eek:

Putting a +1 qt aluminum trans pan on it too. I really didn't want to do that in the driveway either.

I'm also fighting/trying to figure out the best way to deal with some crank case pressure. I don't think it's excessive or anything but I'm just trying to keep it contained an not leaking. I think maybe it's why the valve cover gasket went. I've personally never had something with forced induction as a daily so I'm on a learning curve here...

Maybe you could try a catch can setup that keeps the PCV but is also vented?

I'm 100% at the age where I'm not working on anything for any reason but fun lol.

My dailies go right to the shop.

Shoot, I even let the quick lube change the oil in my Cummins last week. 110 bucks, and I don't have to figure out what to do with 3 gallons of oil? Sold.

I look forward to that day, I really do. But at my current stage, I refuse to let anyone else touch my vehicles because of horror stories
I'm exactly the same. No shop touches my stuff unless it's absolutely necessary. I've experienced way too many issues over the years and been charged way more than should have n the passed and I'm way over it and have been for years.

The catch can on the pass side is in the pcv line (its over beside the fuse panel an ecm). I get oil in it too. I guess I'll have to put one on the dr side also to catch what's going on over there.

You guys will get a kick outta this then.

That fancy replacement pan, now the trans won't go back in park :banghead:

According to PPE they have had issues with the linkage hitting the filter on some dodge stuff specifically the 8HP75. So their fix was to send a +2 qt pan to get the filter away from the linkage. I checked with the shop an he was ok with some delay but asked me to get it in faster if possible (they quoted 5-6 days) called back to get/pay faster shipping an apparently the +2qt pan hits a crossmember on the GC so I'm back to waiting on a solution.

I find it hard to believe I'm the first person to have this issue. I looked at these pans when I had the Charger still an just never did it.

I had that pan on my old Ram and it cleared well, I wonder what's different.

I had planned to put that pan on my Ram, hadn't heard anything of it not fitting. That's interesting
