Random oil spray???

Looks great. What is hydro-coating?

Hydro-coating is a process that puts a pattern, such as my carbon fiber, onto an object, such as my CAC pipes, using a big tank of water. different patterns come in sheets and when exposed to water, they permanently attach to whatever object they are in contact with. Thats about the best I can explain it.

my local dealer,informed me that these are no longer available...

i had a truck come in with a 3" body lift,they never modified the piping for the lift.

the boots on the drivers side,and that plastic pipe were kinked down to 1/3 they're normal size...:fustrate:

i used a cfm kit,and modified it...

mdub let me know if your still able to get these from ford?

Still available, ordered it from Tousley, it showed up while I was on vacation. The P/N JJ gave was right.

Here's proof. You guys were right, stupid plastic tube had a split/crack in it. Enjoy the pics!! I will probably wait to get these pipes powdercoated when I tear down for headgaskets in the next few weeks. I also upgraded the passenger side a while back to the regular non-crushed single alternator tube. My truck has dual alts and came with the dumb CAC tube crushed down for "clearance" though the regular tube fits without issues.

I picked up about 8psi total on top end with the metal tube over my old CRACKED plastic tube haha. Can't remember the last time the truck was this quiet when boost came up...

Oil spray you say?...

Hard to see on the headlight, but there is an oil streak down the front

I didn't snap a pic, but this was so bad that my drivers side mirror chrome cap has an oil film on it.

Old pipe:

Culprit of oil spray...

New pipe!

Also took this time after everything was back together to give the underhood a full douching with purple power and then a good rinse after. Should look much better under there now.

good find. update the degas cap

 

[Mdub707]

It's a Napa cap. It's not pushing coolant anymore now that it has "self-leveled," but I'll be doing studs/gaskets hopefully in the next few weeks/month or so anyways, and there is a brand new Ford cap sitting in the pile of parts on my kitchen table waiting to go on.

Has anyone told you about the CCV reroute?

 

[Mdub707]

Yeah I know all about it. I plan on keeping it just the way it is. Read too many different conflicting things about it being good or not being good. I'm sure the oil spray looks far worse than it is, 100k miles of oil accumulated in there, then all of a sudden a place for it to go! I could still build about 26psi of boost with it like that so I'm sure that helped with evacuating some of it.
