Hey guys, I found this (stumbleupon) while I was looking for a place to buy the ProVent for my 06 CRD. Is this style of collection unit a good idea for the CRD? http://www.angelfire.com/space/neon/catchcan.html Also I'm getting the JBA 2 1/2" lift w/Al's A Arms. What else should I consider for the suspension- e.g. type of bumpstops, quick disconnect sway bar, any thoughts are welcome? Thanks John

Make your own out of PVC pipe and steel fittings, the plastic ones break and make a mess, been there done that. I used steel wool for the media inside. Don't be shocked if the Mods move the post to the CRD Love that torque section. |

Others have gotten away with it but I prefer this: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=45359 I may have this linked write-up moved to the tech section. Hopefully the link will still work after that. |

I tried the plastic fittings the first time around and they broke in the cold, made a big mess and I was not happy. So far my metal ones have held up at -15F and are still going. |
