You're not very bright, Maxine.

No, repetitive whining on your part. I answered the question, you asked it
again, I gave you the same answer, WTF did you expect?

Matters not where the question landed. I answered it, you challeneged my
knowledge, and you were wrong to do so.

Then why would you comment on my post? Repeatedly? Shut up already.

WTF are you talking about? As Robin Williams once said," a.sholes do vex
me!!!"

Circular reasoning.

This isn't YOUR email inbox, it's a newsgroup. 90% of the people reading
don't know, and they saw what happens.

Exactly. But I didn't know that.

Welcome to a.a.d.t
Since you don't know when someone might know what you don't, you don't
know enough to comment.
Go away.

I refer you to my previous post.

Um, I DO know the diesel, I OWN one, and am familiar with its vent system.
Second, In the 3500 series of trucks, its either a diesel or a V10, as they
accounted for the majority of sales, and any fool (let alone those of us who
know something) buying one of those would choose a diesel or V10 over the
360 any day.

Then you don't know enough to be commenting on my post.

That's the absurd thing about this thread.
The OP gave almost nothing to go on:

"I have a 99 dodge ram 3500, and it has just started leaking oil from
the blow by vent valve."

"Vent valve" doesn't describe a tube.
Not knowing the diesel, you can't know that this engine is one.

I don't know that it "won't"

Given that only the Cummins trucks have a vent, and that the gasoline
engines haven't got a vent, but a POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION system, its
Reasonable to assume that the OP has a diesel.

Since the PCV system won't leak oil externally....... but you and snohead
knew that, right?

Skippy:

Here's all I see from the OP:

The OP !!

Well Idiot, we are waiting

...

What I want to know is, what told you it's a diesel?
All "99 dodge ram 3500" are?

punkin, Tom doesn't want a child clinging to him. He's got a good record
here, he's honest, and he's able to both agree, and disagree, with
SnoMan as he sees appropriate.

PCV....  on a diesel....  now THAT'S funny.

Tell me - what do you think would happen if you introduced crankcase
vapors - oil mist - to the intake of a running diesel?

The whole purpose of the vent tube IS to ventilate the crankcase.  Up until
'00, the crankcase was simply vented to the atmosphere.  Then DC added a
catch bottle, to be emptied at each oil change.  The HPCR version of the ISB
saw the introduction of a crankcase breather system, which attempts to
return the oil to the crankcase, while still venting the case to the
outside.  This works better, but still isn't 100%.

In other words, as others here who actually OWN, OPERATE, and MAINTAIN these
exact engines tried to tell you, it's normal operation.

Remember our discussion from last week?  You're doing it again...

Either you have a bad or plugged PCV valve or excessive blowby from
engine wear or stuck piston rings
