Hi guys, long time lurker, first time poster. I know STS has been beat to death on this board so I'll try to keep my questions to a minumum, but this one has me confused. I got my kit in the mail yesterday, and I was looking through the install instructions. There is a whole bunch of stuff I gotta hook up to the stock PCV hose coming off the throttle body. Problem is the 8.1 doesn't have it? From my understanding and what I have read all the PCV happening are internal and there are no servicable parts. So I'm kinda confused.

They did send me the instructions for a 4.8-5.3L chevy...I asked them for instructions for the 8.1L maybe with the correct manual it'll clear this up. Anyway, any knowledge you can give me would be great. I'm looking forward to joining the F/I club. Just got some chit to straighten out first.

BTW..truck is 2002 2500HD 8.1/Allison

thanks

the 8.1 w/ a trubo should be a beast

 

might not be what you want to hear but give sts a call, they are usally more than helpful.

 

Yep the 8.1 are internal. The kit may not have all the bs with it.

 

Thanks for the replies, I called STS and they are aware that the 8.1 has an internal PCV system. They are in the process of wiriting the install manual from what it sounded like, and they're gonna call me back and talk me through it. I wish they would've put a supplement page in the manual they sent me. I guess I'm just being impatient because I want to install the thing.
I bought the kit from tbyrne, and he said he had sold a few of them to 8.1 owners, so if any of ya'll are on here.....chime in I'll take I'll the tips and tricks you got.

If ya wanna see what it's going on here's the link

When you get the kit on, make sure and keep us updated with the results.

 

Yes, please do!
BTW my Dodge install had very similar issues, ie bad diagrams, missing parts, etc. STS did overnight any missing items and we talked to their tech support directly to resolve the manual stuff ( easy to do ). I believe we also edited for future manuals and kits.

 

Oh **** now im waiting on the edge of my seat to see how the 8.1 is with the turbo....I NEED ONE, damn college education taking all my money.
