Eventually I'd like to do some kind of catch can setup for blow by. And here in the next two weeks it's going back in the shop for the drill rotor upgrade/oil/trans/diff change. I went ahead and ordered those bcm filters, I'm going to give them a shot.
Can you guys give me any other advice on maintenance areas I should look at to keep her happy?

Cheers and happy new year
Hows your oil pan gaskets these tend to leak ... getting any smoke when running?

I'm not burning any oil @ 102k miles w/ 5k miles between changes.
