this one:

 

I think I found the right one. Thanks! I may do the entire delete in the future.

This is exactly what I need! Thanks man!

 

Ah, more questions. I have been seeing how some delete the CCV? What does this do and should I consider it soon? I am just thankful the PO at least straight piped it and did the DP. That is a big $$ item I don't have to worry about.

 

Its the CCV mod, you dont need it now, only if you install an intercooler.

 

Oh yeah! Speaking of intercoolers, where the heck is mine?!! Do these not have one? I feel kinda dumb asking this one.

 

Yeah what Jose said. Its not needed unless you have an intercooler.

You dont delete it. You simply vent it into the atmosphere that way if you have an intercooler it wont be circulating oil inside your intercooler.

 

Our OBS dont have IC

 

Your truck will not have an intercooler unless a previous owner installed one.

Ford didnt install factory intercoolers until the e99 super duty and beyond.

Speaking of which if you wish to install an intercooler for cheap the E99 setup will swap over and work on our trucks.

Look in the tech/mod links sticky to find some write-ups.

 

Thanks for the education! I feel kinda dumb about not knowing this. All of my diesels, now with exeception of the '97 I owned about 10 years ago, have had factory intercoolers. I was crawling around under there this morning and looking for IC boots to check them and was like "what the?!" I'll definitely be looking into this one for near future mods. I do know diesels run much better with them than without.

I'll look over at the write-ups and see what I can do here pretty soon.

 

Here's another link that has a bunch of good links in it. Definitely check out Steve Baz's page while your looking in there.

Thanks Travis! I'll be hangin' around here this morning, so I definitely will.

Small update:

1) unplugged EBPV
2) changed oil, fuel filter (bowl was clean and green)
3) blow-by test passed!
4) vacuum line is trashed so I gotta replace that asap
5) driving it everywhere and enjoying the heck out of it

 

By the way, does anyone know the part # or where to get that vacuum line that Travis was talking about? Mine is dry rotted all to crap. I have searched, but don't seem tofind that one so I guess I just make my own? I noticed it goes down into the blower motor, so I wonder how much I'll have to take apart to get to it. I may just go ahead and replace blower motor, resistor, and the vacuum line. It blows kinda weak.

 

If there is any line left you can slide a piece of 1/8 inch rubber vaccuum hose over the old line.

 

From looking at it, I think the entire line is trashed. I kept trying to find a good spot to cut/splice and it was disintegrating in my hands.

 

If you pull the loom open and pull a little bit of that white line out, I bet it looks like brand new. If you have to, open the loom up a little further and cut a small length of the hose out to make a piece to splice in at the blend door actuator. Then use 1/8" vacuum line to piece it all back together. Every one of them that I have done, the line looks like new inside the loom, even if it is all rotted apart outside of there. Apparently it doesn't take well to the weather.
