7.🌲 IDI CDR DELETE MOD

[@alpinehs]

Good video. I will add an oil collector to the end of the hose. The oil collector needs to be in a cold area to condense the vapors and do not have to much blow by staining the truck.👍👍👍

[@DevinShawTV]

alpinehs that’s what I did aswell, when I put the new intake in I just ran a hose into a custom made collection take for the blow by, just empty it out every now again

[@michaelbenoit248]

Just route a hose to the intake/air filter & call it good. Just mod the box, so it vents straight to the intake. These idi’s had some blow by stock, my 7.3 has a tad bit, but isn’t enough where it comes out the fill port, so as long as there isn’t to much you’re good. A little blow by is normal, not something to be afraid of, it’s a 26yr old truck it’s gonna have some.

[@OCDlosp]

please explain brother, I want to delete mine if it doesnt need it. Will it get me mor par?

[@GoldStarBakery88]

@@OCDlosp its a tube that vents crank pressure(contains atomized oil and air) from the engine valley into your intake manifold, its better to have it on the truck. removal will cause a loss in mpg(not much) but no power gains will be made..and atomized oil running over your intake valves isn't such a bad deal..

[@mordicialuminous6792]

@@OCDlosp look into oil can catcher. If your not into straight piping.

Going to do this tomorrow! Thanks

[@AaronBilger]

i got a 1990 7.3 and mines on the drivers side valve cover but i think its stuck open i blew some air through it by my mouth on both sides it freely goes through it no pressure or anything but im gonna leave it

[@scooberdoober8272]

Thanks for showing me how to delete a CDR valve idubzz!

[@salinasanders9253]

hahaha he sounds just like idubbz

[@ChromeArty]

How'd ya get thay air filter housing back on 🤔... couldn't help but notice there was no shot of that 😁... but the looks of that hose coming up behind the intake manifold, there wasn't room for it. Either way, that CDR valve is an annoying contraption.

[@JohnPaul-qh5ys]

Ok why didn't you just put a 90° in it and continue to vent it where it was meant to vent? This uls diesel they're forcing us to run isn't good for the idi and now you're taking away even more lubricant from your engine... think about it... these trucks WILL run on straight engine oil and get pretty awesome fuel economy and power doing it!

[@ami2evil]

Hhmmm, so less lubrication in the intake, cooler temps? Does it run better? I hear additives are the way to go with these because of the new diesel... I used marvel mystery in the oil and fuel, it's cheap... I would assume it works well in these? Anyone else use it?

[@ami2evil]

Why am I coming back a year later...

[@selador11]

What kind of pipe is stuck into the sleeve that runs into the crankcase?

[@FLORIDALIFECLIPS]

A piece a hose that I had laying around the shop But if I was to buy one at a auto parts store I would go with something that can take a little bit of heat may be a heater hose

[@Mrguccigarcia]

Recently bought a 7.3 idi that’s been turbo charged it’s got a tube coming out the front that vents my gas, should I be worried if it smokes at the spot light? It’s not a whole lot but you can see some vapor coming from the hood

[@FLORIDALIFECLIPS]

Sounds like you have a little bit of blow by from what I understand you wrote

[@Mrguccigarcia]

@@FLORIDALIFECLIPS is she gonna explode👀

[@Sam-pu7nz]

I need help urgently. I’m replacing CDR valve but noticed that the tube that goes to the engine (at 4:35 in video) is moving from side to side. It’s rubber tube with bottom piece made out of metal. I can’t get it out. Is it supposed to be somewhat lose or does it have to be solid?

[@FLORIDALIFECLIPS]

Lose

[@jaredbrandt9602]

Yea mine is broken and was dumping oil down the back of the engine. Don't know how to fix yet but I do know you spell the word LOOSE. LOSE means something else, wow.

[@Sam-pu7nz]

@@jaredbrandt9602 yeah, mine was fucking rock hard when I tried to pull the tube/grommet out. So I used a knife and some force to get er out. Took about 2 hours but in the end I got it. As for CDR tube being “loose” I got some sealant on the side of the grommet base. Everything is mint 👌

[@jaredbrandt9602]

@@Sam-pu7nz man I hear ya. I'm glad I found the oil leak and that it's just this stupid CDR valve fitting. My truck has been dribbling oil all year. I've been searching for the stupid 1" ID oil resistant tube for 2hrs...mine was rock hard and split. Gonna have to spend $20 at mcmaster for the right thing...found the plastic fittings on eBay. Looks like the factory parts aren't very oil resistant themselves...resulting in brittle plastic and hard rubber:/ Yea I'm not looking forward to getting the old fitting out, it's been broken and a previous owner popped a pipe fitting in it that doesn't fit well.

[@samdieselsde3502]

Great video

[@mordicialuminous6792]

I installed a oil can catcher in its place. Works better.😎

[@amongthechallengers3647]

You have any pics of the set up with oil can?

[@terrybaptist795]

Did you repaint your truck with yellow automotive paint?

[@FLORIDALIFECLIPS]

No I have to sell it too many small issues it was nickel and dining me to death

[@monchisdavalos2032]

How this truck been running so far?

[@FLORIDALIFECLIPS]

Unfortunately I don't have it anymore it was having too much hydraulic problems with the boom but it always ran good can't beat the 7.3

[@Liveunderleaves]

How do I find the plug you have? The size if it? Thanks

[@FLORIDALIFECLIPS]

Unfortunately this was done so long ago I don't remember the size

[@alpinehs]

I'll put a catch can.

[@boogerhookcontrol7133]

What size plug do I need

[@FLORIDALIFECLIPS]

I apologize it's been so long ago I don't remember the size if I had to guess 3/4 or inch

[@user-bx3zz9cx3y]

Where did you get that plug?

[@FLORIDALIFECLIPS]

Made it from something I had in my shop laying around.

[@Jberenguer2894]

What side is the hole I want to know I just picked up a truck and it sucking oil from the crank case

[@chuk2795]

Marine shops have those plugs

[@troyhaskins5842]

You probably could use a boat drain plug. The one he is using looks like a freeze plug type

[@mackenzielemay5754]

What is the plug called

[@shawn5199]

That's what I'm looking for!

[@dontgetgaslighteddontgetga1675]

any problems since?

[@FLORIDALIFECLIPS]

Besides seeing the blow by none at all I just can't believe I was letting all that crap go back into the motor so glad I done it.

[@brandonwatson4197]

@@FLORIDALIFECLIPS have you noticed a power increase without all of that going into the engine?

Could you route breather hose to the air cleaner and let it vent back into the intake air path?
