Thanks jpat. I have the test plug now but I think I would feel alittle better with the jim cap. When people say "if something could go wrong it probably will" they are talking about "me".

Put a lock nut on the test plug and you are good to go. I hate the way it looks when you pop the hood and it is missing the resinotor box. Looks like sh it in my opionon. I like the stock look. If there is a lock nut on the plug it can not back off.

i got a cap from the local pluming store, its not heat resistant and may not last as long as a test plug. but it just looks better and makes me feel safer. a lock nut on a test plug is just as safe just dont look as clean.

There is no performance gain. But it keeps oil from getting sucked into the turbo and filling the intercooler. It is just a safety mod.

All installed, the LMM is a different type of plumbing it uses hard plastic tubes with no room or flex to hook it up like previouse D-Maxx's with rubber lines.
