    How often do you open the cap to drain it and how much comes out?

    I never did hook it up. I don’t know. Just different ideas I’ve had. I just ran the hose out back, like you did. I’ve got 77k on thd inframe now. I took the hose off. Only 500k on yours? Even doing heavy haul, probably doesn’t need an overhaul yet.

    I got compressor taken off this morning and installing a new BA-922 compressor. Its a pretty darn big one!!

    Went to get the turbo and they didnt have what I needed, so I purchased a stage 1 Borg Warner turbo and am currently looking for a bigger intake tube :(
