Johnny8, I had flipped my doghouse around with no problems, don't have any leakage. Are suggesting that flipping the house, things don't line up right? Seems to work fine here. I am an early 99 for reference sake.
Cheers!

I turned mine around on the '97. and eventualy the o-rings started to leak and I was getting an oil bath down the back/side of my engine, so I put it back to normal and now both trucks look like this.

I think its about as quick and easy as the CCV can get.

Why not plumb the CCV into the exhaust stream? An old racer trick,the exhaust traveling past the tube creates a vaccuum and de-pressurizes the crankcase, relieving the pressure on the bottom side of the pistons giving a small gain in horse power. Waddaya think???

Yeah, what he said. Just do it outside and you will be fine. Having a third eye growing out of the back of your head is not such a bad deal! Helps you see those pesky law enforcement officers.
We wear solvent gloves and that is about it. We would never use the product indoors.
Consult the MSDS sheet that is attached to the back of the container.
This stuff really does a good job.

it was no point messing with it on the stock exhaust, i am putting in a 4'' MBRP this weekend
i may down the road, tap this into the piping in a un-noticeable area, post-muffler. sometimes when its cool out, i start it up and i can see a noticeable fog cloud slide out from under the truck, man i cant believe all that crap was going through the turbo/intercooler!
yes i noticed that when i was inspecting it closely. when i get my exhaust on, ill see if that is enough turbo whine for me. i dont want it to be an obnoxiously loud and full-time whine, i told my folks i was going to keep it simple, plus my mom hates the "loud stinky diesel" 
. i saw one on black cloud last night ("superior" wheel, looked the same) for $69. that plus the two TAG's were about $250. not bad, not bad!

Hey Strokin_it7.3 I just noticed that you are missing a Wicked Wheel.

I don't know if the link will work from here, but this is a pic of how I tied it into the exhaust after the muffler. If I were to do it again, I would skip the bung and copper pipe and just use a foot long piece of steel pipe welded or brazed in.
