I'm looking for some advice on the intake in my truck. We bought the 2001 F250 7.3L a few years back (it was used) with this current intake installed. The hose that is connected behind the filter, in front of the turbo, seems to be stuck where you add oil to the engine during an oil change.

Hose Connection

From what I understand, that hose is supposed to go to the crankcase vent, but I don't believe that is it. Is my understanding correct? If so, could someone direct me to the right place to relocate this hose?

I appreciate the feedback.

 

That is interesting to say the least. The stock setup has a small 90 degree hose that attaches to the intake from the ccv on the drivers side valve cover. Is that plugged? FYI there is a 7.3 section down the page under diesel trucks. You would probably get more replies there.

 

That is most definitely not factory. As stated the factory CCV is a small box on top of the drivers side valve cover that enters into a plastic elbow. First time I've ever seen something like that.

 

Thank you both for your input. I understand that this is not a factory set up, but we bought it used (didn't make that clear).

I am going to check to see if I can find the CCV and check for a plug. Looks like I"ll also need a replacement cap for the oil fill.

 

Moved to the 1999 - 2003 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel forum.

 

You'll either need a new doghouse or you'll need to unplug the hole on the end of it whichever they did.

Yes you'll need a new oil cap, make sure the hole in the intake tube where they routed that hose to is plugged up tight then you can face the doghouse rearward and run a hose from it over the master cylinder and down to the framerail for a nice clean CCV.
