Cool thanks for the foresight. When you do this don't you need a check valve or one way valve?

The breather works kick-***. I just drove my truck around town and checked it while it was running and there is a nice little flow coming out the breather filter. When I stop the motor there is a little bit of exhaust that comes out of the breather but not too much.
If I was able to post pics on here I would show you the finished product. It really is a very nice fit to the end of the 5/8 hose.

Here is the breather, it is about midway down the page. They have other colors than just yellow, I found a Blue one of course!

Its only about 2 1/2 inches long, and about 2 inches wide. If you take out that plug flange with the hose clamp on it, your 5/8 heater hose will bury all the way into the opening with a nice snug fit.

This is the kit I use for CCV mad. I've done 3 trucks and noticed a big difference on a highly modded 2000. You only need 1 instead of 2 like above.
I use these on all gasers I build and have seen as much as 20HP gains. Not sure about diesels.
The angel is critical, I use a vaccum gage and tap the welded-in piece to fine tune for the maximum vacuum.
Here's a link to one of my previous posts on this subject:

I like that set up as well, very nice. I may tap it into the exhaust at some point too but you know how that goes.
Thank You to all that helped me with this mod!!
