Removed my upr oil catch can on both sides. Plugged the hole in the intake. Just dropped my truck off at the dealer for the 100 th time. My truck has lived at the dealership. Hopefully this time the mechanic doesn’t break something else trying to fix the problem

Ya make me nervous about mechanical problems for this beast. So far so good but I’ve only had mine since November.

By the way, good pick up on the problem... I’m gonna have to pay closer attention to my engine bay.

So the dealer looked at it and warranty is going to cover it as per them it was valve cover gaskets not the covers themselves however at 90 bucks per side were thinking it's going to include new covers that's just for parts

It took me a bit trying to figure where it was coming from. I had to get the teuck to operating temp and use an led flashlight to see the crack. The dealership is ordering me a new valve cover kit.
