This is why I posted about CCV mod and cheeseburgers https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/589246-is-a-ccv-mod-like-a-bacon-cheeseburger.html?highlight=bacon+cheeseburger I was concerned about more subtle effects over time due to the extra CC pressure on seals from a CCV mod, but this is an example of an outright heart attack... "Woossshhhhhh-about 20 or so PSI came out...." as posted here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/556525-warning-for-those-of-you-who-did-the-ccv-mod-and-live-in-cold-climates.html "I found the the back half of the hose full of ice. The engine then built enough pressure to force oil through the turbo seals into the exhaust. Because of this find, it looks like I will be putting the CCV back to stock, as much as I don't want to." The last time I checked, water freezes at 32 F, so it seems to me that almost everyone might be subject to this problem.

). I chose it so I could see if there were any blockages in the hose at a quick glance. I actually think it's tougher than the rubber heater hose, too, but don't know for sure.Yeah, I think I got it at Lowe's... maybe Home Depot?

Add extremely cold temps, and you have a problem, no matter where your hose is routed. Unless you are keeping it close to the engine compartment, it is a potential problem in this area.
