Default LS6 PCV system

Has anyone done this on a truck? I am thinking of doing it while the intake manifold is off. I did notice the intake had alittle oil in it when I swapped the heads. I think this might be better than using a catch can. It should pull less oil out of the valley than the valvecovers.

I do think a few have done it, and I plan to do it on my 6.0. It is about the same price as buying a catch can but with out taking up the space.

That is what I was thinking, I think someone said it would be better than a catch can also.

I think it is a good idea hell it does what should be done anyway by putting the oil back into the motor instead of the intake. It can be used under the truck intake or any other intake.

Here it is on TR site

maybe someone can chime in and let us know what is all needed to do the swap. Im sure buying the parts are cheaper than buying the conversion kit through thunder

It is. It's like half the price, and it comes with hardware and gasket. You will need to get the pcv valve yourself however. I made one inline with a big piece of hose. You will still get a little bit of oil through it though. Maybe using a catch can inconjunction may eliminate it.
