CCV.....Question.....
I've been reading all I can find on the CCV mod and am confused.. In his write up of how to guzzle turns his hose up then back to the rear of the truck.. Most others I've read turn theirs down and then back...to avoid any condensation from forming...
Also, guzzle uses 4 in. steel for the cover etc.. What has everyone else used ?
When I did the 6634 mod I used pvc, wouldn't this work for the ccv mod as well ?
Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nuttin but I don't want to screw something up.
Thanks...

The hose off my ccv is out and down but that is because I live in a cold climate and I don't want things to freeze up if there is condensation. As for the 4" pipe, I used pvc and it has worked fine for the last 2 years.

Regarding condensation, I can tell you that you don't have tons to worry about there. There are some reports of folks having their CCV line "freeze up", but I'm not quite sure how it happened.
Reason I say this is because I built a large PVC trap for my CCV hose, and after running 4 months in teh cold weather (atleast, cold for mid-northern Alabama), I drained the trap and got about 4 ounces of "condensation" that looked like a bunch of oily gunk. I let the jar sit in the garage compeltely undisturbed for 4 months to see how much water separation there would be...
... well, like I said, after sitting for 4 months completely undisturbed in a corner of my garage... there was ZERO water in the 4 ounces of oily goo I had collected.
I haven't worried about it much since then, myself.

I went straight down. My line was getting pinched going over the master cylinder causing a pedistal oil leak. Got pissed one and chopped it off and routed into the drivers fender well. Has worked great since.
