CCV Rerouting (beating a dead horse)
Hi there,
I have researched and believe to have found the end of the internet. THEN...........I come across an older post where a few guys (with pics) rerouted their CCV directly into the exhaust via a welded tube (about 1' long and 1" into the downpipe welded @ a 30-45* angle to help with flow), with what appears to be great success.
Jeg's actually sells a kit with a check/one way valve and weldable tubing.
I thought I had it set as to which method I was going to use, then I found the post. MY HEAD IS GOING TO POP
.
What do you guys think of this method?
HELP

The original post I found is from bighoss550. I sent him a PM but have not heard from him. It's relatively simple to do, but I know there is more information I need and somebody out there can help.
Thanks

I wonder if the passenger valve cover from the 6.4 will fit on the 6.0. This cover has the vapor condenser mounted on it. If it does fit then all you need is the cover, condenser and a little tubing. Nothing is let in to the environment and nothing is sent into the cool air system.

I did it the way it's described in the tech files and it was less than $10 and less than 1 hour of my time. Done. So what if a little oil ends up on the ground, thats where it came from in the first place.

Do you find any oil residue on your truck? I designed a canister becasue I did not want my truck have an oily film on it or my trailer.

Not really, not enough to worry about. My hose curves down towards the ground at the end, and there is a slight oily spot in the garage from when I let it warm up, but it is a stone floor until I get the $$ for concrete so it doesn't bother me.

brian 42,
I decided against the exhaust routing. I bought a kit from stealth automotive for 100.00, I supply the hose they supply everything else. It mounts on the frame, oily air comes in, clean air goes out and back to the intake. The designer claims it needs no servicing and will never clog. He put one on his truck 6 years ago and NEVER had an issue. I think several gurus on this site are running the same cannister I bought. Thanks to everyone for answering all my stupid questions. See Ya

My truck is kept pretty clean as well. However, if you want to keep your garage floor clean you would be better off using the canister the other guys are talking about. I am not familiar with it so I can't comment on it. Maybe when the floor gets poured, someday, but I think my next mod will be EGR delete.

Please, before everyone jumps on here and says "I can do it for 20 bucks"... I already know that, this kit is for the guy who wants the clean OEM look, the environmental benefits of not venting to atmosphere, a safety bypass and does not mind spending 300 to get that.
