Smoke from CCV?
I have the feeling I am going to get a simple answer and feel like a dumb@$$. I did my CCV mod from Clay today. I noticed smoke coming from the vent tube. I checked it out when I parked with the truck at idle. Sure enough its just puffin' along. It wouldn't be as bad except that I only had enough vent tube to reach right almost directly under the drivers seat.
BTW, how come the smilies are all outta order. Got me all messed up...

yea, I get a good bit of smoke at idle also.. enough so that if I leave the truck idling for 5 - 10mins it will kill the grass in that spot.
I want to come up with some sort of CC evac pump. possibly a small smog pump, that way can pull it through a catch can, and still maintain vacuum on the CC

Rotella dino may have less smoke, but it stinks. When I was running it my wife and I joked about bad BO when idling. Synthetic cured that.

A steady "stream" of oil fumes/smoke at idle is "normal" but any signs of "puffing" indicates excessive blow by on one or more cylinders. The best way to test/monitor for excessive blow by is to install a crankcase pressure gauge and test the engine while under a WOT maximum load.

I ran my along the length of the frame into a piece of 2"x18" black PVC with about 20 1/4" holes drilled in it so it catches the oil residue (amke sure you point the holes at 12 o'clock), but causes no backpressure on the system. I have the pipe zip-tied just infront of my rear bumper and clean it out about every 6 months or so. I used to have people tell me they think my truck is burning LOL, but now you can barely see the smoke stream.
