CCV Mod

Just finished the ccv mod on my early 99 7.3PSD. Very easy installation once I gathered the parts. I saw the kits for sale around $59.99 + shipping. I completed mine for $35.24.
After reading some of the great posts here I elected to go with the clear vinyl rubber hose. I went to 6 different muffler shops for a piece of scrap 4" exhaust pipe.....none available. I ended up using a piece of 4" aluminum stock.
perfect fit. My mod also included new "o" rings for the dog house.
I went to Home depot for the hose.......I was going to get hosed! 10' was 27.99!.....I went elsewere. Picked up 16' for $16.16. The job would have been cheaper if I didn't need a bag of tie-wraps $7.17.
All and all I'm happy with the results and the vapors are very, very white coming out of the end. 184,000 miles. Thanks for all the posts on this mod.

Where did you get the "O" rings for the doghouse? I just did mine too and noticed how oversized those rings had become.
Thanks

You could go to Ford.....I went to House of Hoses and matched them up. Then I just wiped a little sealer on them and tighten them down. Good seal, good fit.

Thanks fellas, mine seemed a little stretched out, and I would definately like to replace them.

I got mine from O'Reillys -- most auto parts stores should have them. They're 1.25" ID, 1.5" OD, 1/8" wide. A buck or two for both.
