And that's 1oz of condensed crankcase vapours that isn't coating the inside of your intercooler.
It's not just about preventing/slowing deposits on the intake valves. There are other benefits that some aren't aware of.
It's not about saving money. Some of us prefer using superior lubricants like Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 for example.
It has the following approvals:
GM dexosR
MB-Approval 229.51
MB-Approval 229.52
Porsche C30
VW 504 00
VW 507 00
API SQ
It bests MC 5W-30 FS in every performance metric.

The Hertz MPS 250 S2 is more than capable of overwhelming the rest of the system and it fits. Like others have mentioned, why ruin the truck for an additional 2" and a few extra Hz?

These oily vapours are what collect on the intake valves.
It has no positive or negative effective on carbon build-up. When the fuel is introduced in the combustion chamber, the intake valves aren't exposed to fuel (wash).
No idea how he drives or what oil he uses but there is no way that that motor flows the same amount of air that it did when new. Those valves look like shit.

Nothing short of removing the box and prepping and respraying that area (by a reputable body shop) will make that ever look right. I can't believe an authorized Linex dealer could be that bush league.
No way was the box prepped properly if the whole job took less than an hour. Be prepared for...
I just did the mod tonight. Thanks again Gman10 for creating this thread.
For what it's worth, a pair of small end cutting pliers make short work of those tabs.

Ford Ranger Lifts has a kit as does Traxda. It looks like they use 2 - 1/4" flanges stacked.
1 1/2" would look good too and you have several more options at that height.
