WAY TO GO DML! If Matts hole in the cap removes 50%
of the problem, maybe the insulation will remove the
remaining problem. Somebody with a 4.7L want to combine
the two experiments to see if it will solve this problem?
Matt? since you already have the hole drilled? Who knows,
maybe the next TSB will say, drill 5/16 hole in vent cap and
insulate. DC is probably hanging on every word...hehe. ON
SECOND THOUGHT, if its a fix, just privately email DML'ers
with 4.7s only. Then negotiate a trade with DC, INFO for
future performance parts for the 4.7.....hehe, yeah right.
