Having this close to the front do I need to worry about low spots in the hose on the way to the back of the truck? I want to run the hose all the way to the bumper.



Elbow down pipe inside the 3" pipe.

Copper scrubber and stainless cage to keep the scrubber up.

 

Nice job! How well is it working? what was you total cost?

 

So far it is working good. Im going to add a drain later to the cap. For the cost im thinking around $50. But I had to by 10' of the 3" pipe. The stainless steel thing I called a cage is a thing people use to cook fish on the bbq grill. It was in the bbq section at walmart a few years back. I just cut it and rolled it. The copper scrubber you have to unroll it like a sock a little to open up the center to slide over the pipe.

 

Excellent write up! Reps sent!

 

whats this for?

 

The ccv mod. It catches the oil vaper in the crank case vent tube and seprates the oil out of the air.

 

On the 7.3 The oil vapor stays in the intercooler pipes, turbo etc.. creating a fine mist of oil that coats everything under the hood. The ccv mod gives the Crank Case Vapors to evaporate into the air. The point is some people believe the oil vapor will turn into oil drips then will pool in the intercooler.

 

Pulled all my air tubes off last weekend and it was coated in so much oil I wasnt getting a good seal and losing boost.

 

aaahhh that explanes alot..ok next mod to do lolololol... sigh after i find $$$ to buy new boost ..170k miles and no mods so far ol

 

I went through RiffRaff for my ccv kit. Comes with hose, o-rings, and deleting tube for the intake.

 

Just finished running the rest of the tubing. I chose to end it above the rear diff. It is the center point for both back doors and rear hatch. I opened the can today to see what a few days driving does to it and there is a very light oily mist inside.

 

Wow, that might work for the 6.0 also. thanks for posting.

 

Awesome job, I will have to make one for my EX and scale it down for my Shelby GT500

 

Update:

I still haven't put a drain on the cap. I opened it up today because I noticed oil drip on the cap. It was getting by the threads. Trying teflon tape this time. Also the end of the hose that is venting to the air is dry inside. No oil residue.

This is what I caught since installing it.
