robin which ones there are three per side the one on the end of the rail is 5c3z17b984aa and 985aa // the straight one is 5c3z17754aa and 7755aa //
the other one i bought but did not use when i put my bumper on. they go on the outside of the rail to the end you could use them but needed some fab i guess the frame is a little different i haven't used them yet and the 99 didn't have them . those are 5c3z17b750aa and 749aa .

It makes no sense for air to be coming out thecrankcase. Unless the ccv is hooked up but you said it wasn't. Only other place would be by the rings and if that was happening your truck wouldn't run very good if at all. Do I have this right? You are pressuring up the intake and are getting air through the base.

correct...air going in thru the turbo inlet and i can hear air coming out of the ccv and oil fill tube. but the kicker is the truck doesnt seem to be running bad....25psi at WOT, no smoke (of any color) and get 16mpg around town. there is some noise that i hear under light acceleration that sounds like an exhuast leak...kind of a kachu kachu kachu sound that goes away when i let off the throttle....sometimes sounds like its exhaust leak sometimes sounds like injectors?
