Default BLOWBY ?

My truck has a lot of blowby but in a months time and 1,000 it barley went threw a 1/4 of a quart and it runs good most of that it leaked so should I not worry about the blowby or is it something to worry about it also has 272,000 miles.

You do a blowby test yet or are you just eyeballing the tube?

Basically hooking a flow meter up to the crank case vent, it's more a less a pass/fail test and no set "specification" just what one manufacturer deems excessive to the next. Put an updated crankcase vent kit with the catch bottle and don't worry about it, if it were excessive it'd push the dipstick out even with the vent flowing freely.

It's a Cummins test, and you can the parts for the kit through Cummins, or put your own together.
