CCV MOD ????
ok so i did my ccv mod the other day which i bought from clay. man he shure did a great job putting that kit together. so i got the stinky smell now. i was thinking bout extending the tube back to the rear but i looked on guzzles and they showed how to build an oil trap which may cut down on alot of the smell. befor i waste my time building one i was checking to make shure that thing is going to be safe. or in other words not restrict the blow off and build up too much pressure..... and cause a leak or harm anything. so would this be a good thing todo or has anyone
done anything diffrent.

What kind of oil are you using? I had the same problem until I switched to Rotella T... Just a thought.

I would be careful in running the hose back to the rear axle not to create a low spot (like a "P" trap below a sink) that would collect oil and block off the air passage to the exit.. Just run the end of the hose into a plastic bottle with vents in the lid to collect the oil.. Mine works great.. I empty mine about once every 2 months..

The only way to get rid of the stink and not get oily boots is to build a trap, but then route it back into the intake in the stock manner. I'm about to do this myself. Just because I feel like getting rid of the cloud that comes out from under the back of my truck. I have it run to the back axle and don't have an issue with smell, just tired of the cloud. LOL

I've had my CCV mod for over 5 years now venting to the driver's side wheel well. It has never once given me issues, but after 5 years, I'm tired of catching a whiff every now and then.
Cross my fingers, I might have time this week to finally build my CCV trap, and re-route it back to the intake.

The only thing the trap will do for you is to eliminate the periodic oil drips on the driveway from an open CCV hose.
Depending on the amount of blowby you have, some have more drips than others.
