I'm just looking for other opinions here. A couple of weeks ago, I heard a completely ridiculous thing. Keep in mind that the kid who said is full of s**t and a habitual liar. He's 21 or 22. Right now he's in the Air Force. Before that he was a certified diesel mechanic, he went through school for diesel mechanics, he was an over the road trucker, he owned his own semi, and somewhere in there he had a career as a motocross rider. Before his newer Dodge, he had an '08 Ford with a diesel. Of course he says that all he did was bypass the "EGR stuff" and it would get 28mpg. Ok now you have an idea of what he's like. His big statement was this. My sister was going to buy a 2010 Ford, but I talked her out of it because it had some blowby while running. I've never seen a diesel with blowby! He worked on and owned semis and has never seen a diesel with blowby? He went through a school for diesel mechanics and has never seen a diesel with blowby? I understand that the newer diesels like the 7.3 psd do run their crankcase ventilation back through the intake hoses to be reburned in the engine like a fuel injected gas engine. Finally ALL INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES HAVE BLOWBY WHILE THEY ARE RUNNING! Some more than others. There is no way to completely eliminate blowby because some combustion gasses always get by the rings. Especially at the high compression ratios that diesels need to have in order to operate. So let's hear your thoughts on this.
