Definitely recommend this mod for all diesel engines, just want to make sure there are no low spots in the hose to allow oil to pool up and create a restriction.. that is the reason some people experience oil gasket leaks after a mod like this. And I also would not recommend an inline oil catch can on the hose for the same reason.. any air/ vapor flow restrictions can create too much pressure build up in the crank case and will start relieving pressure from gaskets and seals. Great video 👍🏼

[@StevenScheffe]

That carbon build up is not from the ccv. Its from the EGR. That being said the ccv does introduce alot of oil into the intake system.

[@ryanlogan2911]

There is an option to use the internal catch can then run the hose to your exhaust. Weld a bung in your exhaust at a 45 deg angle and have the exhaust flow scavenger the blow by. Then you don’t get the smell and the heat from the exhaust burns off the oil mist. Did this option on my dad’s 2014 Powerstroke and I liked it so much I also did it in my Colorado 2.8 ZR2 Duramax. At the same time we did the breather delete we tightened the loose bolts on the front cover which fixed the massive oil leak. We also changed the upper fuel filter to a Baldwin conversion and lower fuel filters to Cat style. Lastly we installed the disaster prevention kit for if/when the CP4 pump shits the bed.

Being a diesel mechanic on the big rigs do not make that hose to long or it will freeze in the winter and blow the seals on your engine or cause your turbo to pump oil into intake causing engine runaway.

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Depends where you live but you can run it to a catch can and or to the exhaust but not likely to blow out the turbo seals there is no clamp on the discharge where the hose goes on it will pop the hose off before it would blow seals up

[@adambarker3578]

@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA Any back pressure in the crankcase can cause the turbo not to drain and cause oil leakage in the intake or exhaust. On big diesel engines the oil separators are mounted to the engine to keep them from freezing or heated 12v. There is a lot of moisture moving out the vent on any engine.

Pause the video, we will understand the pause to use both hands or place a rag over the openings @6:01 he confirmed my fear and dropped some small metal washer. GLAD it didn't fall inside the valve cover, etc. I did go ahead and buy the kit including the internal catch-can. To help with external oil stains, I'm going to be adding an external catch-can. I'm unsure about connecting to the exhaust system, just yet.

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Yup that dang sleeve fell out of the factory CCV, so happy when I found it under the truck but not without frantically searching

[@Thelakedr]

If you're in freezing climates that hose will definitely freeze up I have Volkswagens with the tdi I did a similar thing but I didn't even run the hose that far and it froze on me a few times next thing you know there's all kinds of smoke rolling out the tailpipe and VW even incorporates a little heater in CCV tube plus the fumes you just can't get away from them they're so strong smelling they always roll back into the car. I think piping it into the exhaust is possibly the most effective way. Hope you don't get in Sub-Zero temperatures.

[@peterromano1911]

Power Stroke Tech Talk with ARod has a video where he shows the two CCV box designs. One Filtered and One no Filtered. His video just showed how you can switch to the filtered box and then change out the filter as a maintenance item.

😮I run a larg area catch can that is vented to atmosph at the back of my box. Now smell. This has lowered my Crankcase presure, improved cold start, and there is zero to no black smoke on normal lift off, and stopted build up in the filterd cold air intake all positive. So I assume better preformamce HP and MPG. By improved clean air fuel ratio in the combustion chamber. PS 1" ID tubing running slightly down hill through out this system no low area to cause a bild up or chocking the PSI out from the Crancase.

I'm so confused 😂i just learned the new 2022 ccv don't have a filter so what is the box doing? I've been going Back and forth on this and anymore not sure what to do! And one more thing is that you didn't clamp the house on the vent tube incase it would build up pressure and blow the tube off? Every other video shows guys clamping that hose on. Like I said very new to the diesel world!

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

the box puts oil vapor into the upper intake to be re burned in combination with the egr soot its a mess so at least the oil is going back into the crank case with my set up in the video

[@slosher42]

take the hose off of the turbo and plug turbo, and run a longer hose from the box where you want

Unless your taking off your egr your not stopping the crud your showing?

[@GuretoSefirosu]

So what good is this considering that the EGR just dumps more crud in? Not trying to be a wise-guy, just asking. I know about catch-cans having owned two 3.5L EB engines, but the EGR is a bigger issue with the intakes on our diesels, is it not? Could you do an inline catch-can like we did on the EB engines and not vent to atmosphere? One other thing to note is that my truck (2017 F-250, King Ranch, 4x4) has never dropped the oil level between changes (roughly 5k mi) and I have no leaks of any kind. About to hit 155k on the odometer.

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Ideally yes the egr is still an issue it just takes the oil component out of the equation and you can run a catch can but with the catch can in my valve cover no oil came out the tube anyway

[@GuretoSefirosu]

@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA Thank you for the response. I had considered an in-line can for a while now, but I never bit the bullet due to bigger things, such as the EGR dumping coal into the intakes or the CP4 failure problem. FWIW, my CP4 is still okay, but I use OptiLube XL in every tank (4oz/20gal). I am saving for the new DCR pump now!

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

Thanks for watching in order to void the warranty s failure has to be a direct result of an aftermarket component causing it some dealers are dumb about stuff but those are the rules there is a sticker under the hood stating that too

[@benjaminconnolly5655]

This mod ABSOLUTELY voids the warranty, it is also quite illegal as it is removal of an emissions component.

[@abrahamalvarez9809]

Is this california legal???

[@BrianAz]

Is this a problem for states where you cannot delete or modify your diesel emissions or is this something that will not be an issue?

[@Battleworthy91]

emissions is federally mandated. So all states require the emissions on diesels.

[@_flamtnbkr_8088]

If you are worried about it, route it back into the intake where it originally went. Hopefully, if that added piece is doing it's job, most of the oil has been caught and is going back into the engine. Hook it up so that the little that is left goes back into the intake like the original did. While the crud that can go into the intake can get it dirty over time, the big issue is when the CCV filter gets clogged over time which then doesn't let the air out so that pressure starts building up inside the crankcase. If you have a gasket that has a weak spot, over time it could cause the engine to get a pretty substantial oil leak. Mine was clogged up at 45k and I really didn't want to put a part back on that was going to do the same thing again. Hopefully the newest ones finally have a decent design (?) but the '11-'20 will need to be serviced at some point and probably sooner than you think...

[@treme913]

All that oil is not as hard on the engine as the build up from the recirculated EGR gases that build up that harden the oil in your intakes. EGR gases do the same in any gasoline engine, ending in clogged lines and passages.
