Hi guys I`m really new to diesels but agood mechanic when it comes to gas engines.
I just bought an 04 dodge ram 2500 5.9 L last week and have a question or two.
1. there is a plastic blow tube that runs down the side of the engine that blows oil all over the tranny.Is this common? is there a fix? is it indicative of a greater problem? what is that tube? is it like a PVC breather on a gas job?
I have a 98.5 that has this same problem. It is pretty bad actually. Never knew what the real reason for it was. It probably blows a gallon of oil total out of a 3-5k mile oil change. And I do not have a lot of blowby with the oil cap off.
So what exactly does this mean, or what is causing this problem?
