Crankcase Ventilation Rerouting Help
I was wanting to do this while I had truck apart. Does anyone make a kit for this or is it all fab? I know there has been some issues of plumbing into the exhaust. What is the best way from experience to do this? I seen the thread on it, but would like some opinions. Thanx

I agree with npccpartsman, just run a length of hose all the way down the back, you can crossover to the exhaust side for aesthetic reasons if you want. I havent done mine yet, too bloody cold, but I'm going to use a 1" reinforced nylon tubing from home depot with a makeshift pvc trap.

I tried it on mine for a bit. At first it was fine, but I got tired of smelling it - even slightly - at idle, and my bell housing lubricant increased (RMS leak). All I can deduce is the motor needs a bit of assistance from the intake to vent properly, so I returned it to stock.

I did mine in about 2 hours. I ran the 1" heater hose under the engine crossmember and over to the downpipe. I took a 4" long 1" outside diameter piece of galvanized pipe from Home depot and cut a 45 on one end. Then I drilled a hole in the front of the downpipe about 4" above the bend that turns the exhaust towards the rear of the truck. The I welded the pipe inside the downpipe with only the 45 and about a 1/4 inch inside of the downpipe. It looks exactly like what is inside of the intake pipe efore the turbo. Then hook up the heater hose and your done. Mine burns off the extra oil while still venting the crankcase exactly as it did before. Hope this helps.

If you put it in like 6.0superduty described in his post then it should draw the crankcase gases out into the exhaust. When I used to race and we did this we would put it a one valve to allow the gases to only go out the exhaust.
