I had seen those and wondered if they would be any good. Yea man let us know how it works. I think that I am just going to do the LS1 to LS6 PCV conversion and hopefully that will solve my problem. I can get the conversion kit from Thunder Racing for like $150.00 and the AMW is $160.00.

Yea, I wonder if its worth a crap. What's on the inside, and how does it drain, how big is it, etc...

I sent the seller a question asking how to drain it. So we'll see what he says. Sorry didn't ask about the size, but by looking at the picture and the fitting sizes, it seems to be about the same size as others.

The way the PVC system is setup on our trucks is that the hoses go from the valve cover straight to the intake manifold. So all the oil vapors get sucked right into the intake manifold making it a mess. This goes in between and filters out the excess oil vapors.

Oh btw, the seller responded and said there is a small cap on the bottom that is removable to drain the oil out.
