update CCV mod pics...

Nic · May 22, 2012

well, got the canister from TSC..plumbing from Lowes..got hose from the auto parts store..will be installing this weekend..still debating whether i should re-route it back to the intake or put a filter on one end and just drain it when its full..Do 03s really need the vacuum?

Nice job, looks good. I like the clear hose idea.

preciate it!

Why use the canister method? Why not just dump it to the ground?

^^ in fear of it clogging i guess..not to mention the foul smell..and i dont want oil all over the bottom side of my truck, and on the rims or whatever else..personal pref

Unless you route the CCV back to the intake tube, you are going to have the foul smell to some extent but I can tell you from personal experience that it is VERY minimal (at least on my truck) and I have yet to see any oil either drip on the ground, spray on the underside of my truck or get on the wheels. I fully understand that it is personal preference but in all honesty for $20 you can do the mod and save your boots. JMO and hope this helps.

^^ well thank ya bud..i did spend 35..was planning on goin back up to the inake with iut but just not sure yet..do the 03s NEED that vacuum?

Every engine could benefit from vacuum. It's just about personal preference.

Route the hose behind the fan shroud, all the air generated by the fan does great for getting rid of the smell/ smoke.

That's an awesome idea. I think I will modify my design now. Thanks man.

got it! appreciate it

Um if you route it to the fan (like on CR cummins) its going to get oil on everything. This is the reason they re-route them on those trucks.

mines routed down by the frame rail. I get steam out of it but of you stick your finger in the tube it's dry.

Got all my stuff today for this. Did you ever mount it? Got any pics?

Nic · Jul 1, 2012

havent done anything to it yet no but still have everything..all the talk is almost making me want to just run it to atmo if our trucks dont need the vacuum..idk..not sure yet. still debating.

mine is routed straight down to the frame in the drivers side wheel well. I've had the CCV mod on my done to my truck for over 7 years and have yet to see an oil droplet on the ground, on my rims or anything.
