  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Are you able to use more than a quart of oil with this setup? I really like cheap and simple solutions and would like to run more oil to get more miles out of my motor.

Not sure how much a quart is in white man speak
(ok, just under 950ml)
I'm running the original 1150ml without loosing any from the airbox and I'm now on the plus side of 210hrs on the motor.

I have a '13 TE449 with the same problem. So if you find an answer please let me know. Mine has the oil drip down on the engine and muffler and smoke and stink something horrible.

It is important to run the breather off the top end, otherwise it will just continue to spit oil out and not maintain the correct level.
With either breather setup, you will be able to keep the full 1150ml inside the engine.

All you really need is the zipty breather relocation kit which is around 40 dollars. The kit relocates the breather to the top of the motor where it belongs (it can be seen in the pic above post #22). That is all I am running as are several others and it is just fine. I run the factory specified 1150cc of oil and I haven't had any problems. I was running 950cc of oil before and I had oil coming out the airbox onto the top of my motor. You really do not need the whole catch can recovery system unless you are worried and want an absolute system.

Rancher - Are you saying you just installed the zipty breather on top of your engine and rerouted the hose from there to the air breather? Did you have to plug the case breather down below?
