Thanks a lot Bismic. I have mine making too tight of a bend under the degas bottle. I'm still going to replace it with wire in fuel hose - although it is very pricey.

I tried to rep you but I can't yet.

 

I have noticed that most seem to be going with the CCV6000 is that because you are running that much power? or is a bigger filter makes me feel better kinda thing. Looked up the CCV4500 and saw that it was good to 600Hp and the CCV6000 is for 800HP. If you guys are running that kinda power thats great but just wasnt sure on the reasoning since there is a big difference in price. Without really reasearching just doing a google search seem like you can get a 4500 for just over 130$ and the 6000 for just over 300$. Thats a big difference . Just curious thanks for all the good info...

It is my opinion that you are correct. The 4500 is probably quite fine for stock. As an engine wears, you get more blowby which will load it out also. As for me, I have some plans for more horsepower in the future - I only want to buy this once.

I personally measure my crankcase pressure. My system does not back-pressure the crankcase at all. I would be interested in someone measuring the pressure w/ the 4500 in service!

 

I plan on doing this mod soon. I see that most of yall are mounting the ccv6000 up underneath your truck on the frame rail. WHAT IF you drove through deep water and submerged that filter? I assume you could potentially suck water up into your intake, correct? Driving through water that deep is very unlikely for me and have no plans on doing so. However, you never know what could happen...dad drove his F150 down a flooded road one time on a hunting trip...i sank a beer bottle outside the window wall sitting in my seat.

THanks fellas, just concerned about the water issue.

 

No problem Mark, I'll have to pick one of those drain valves up. I just checked the boots again the other day and they are all still bone dry. Thanks for the info Mark! It Still won't let me rep you.

 

Fellas,
Those of you who are using the ccv6000, what is the part # for that filter? I am digging around and have found 08, 08R, & 08L as a suffix. I found this one on ebay, Racor CCV6000 CCV6000-08 CCV6000-08L new filter system on eBay!

Is that the correct filter, if so, I may buy it.

Thanks for the input.

 

Where have you found a 4500 for $130? The best Googled price I could find was $212 plus shipping on ebay.

 

I used a free piece of heater hose I had and ran the vent down to the frame rail under the cab. Never drips, and no filter to worry about. That's what International does with the VT365.

 

I am surprised at no drips. My filter collects quite a bit of oil. Maybe the drips are only when driving and not when parked?

 

I was surprised as well Mark, its possible it does drip some when driving, but there is no residue on the undercarriage behind the hose and the inside of the hose just has a little bit of residue. One thing that helps, I run the hose from the CCV fitting, behind the degass bottle, up over the hydroboost, then back down to the frame. Perhaps the high spot makes most oil drain back to the engine.

 

Mark, whaqt is the poart # of your ccv6000 ? Take a look at my previous post. Thanks for the help!

 

08means high density and L means left side inlet.

I wanted the left side inlet based on where I was locating the unit. I am pretty certrain I got the high density, so my part number would be the RAC CCV6000-08L.

 

With the larger, higher flow filter I think you can definitely afford to go with the higher density element.

 

Fellas,
I installed a fuel pressure gauge today. I removed the CAC tube on top of the engine to make it a little easier to get the ITP adaptor in the fuel test port. When I pulled the CAC tube apart I noticed it had oil in it. Should this have oil in it? If so, will the CCV mod prevent oil from getting in there? Or do I have another problem. Thanks

 

The ccv mod should prevent it. Oil in the CAC tube is not an indication of a problem (unless it is a LOT).
