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.
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
@@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. Thanks for the reply and the positive content.
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA No, in cold climates condensation WILL freeze in the exhaust line and cause pressure in the crankcase. This can be serious. Ask me how I know! Anyways, make sure the line slopes downwards toward the exit.
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 👍🏼
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.
If you don’t have slight vacuum it will cause your turbo seals to go bad and that’s the main reason why you want to connect it to your exhaust.Bill Hewitt explained it very well in one of his videos.
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. He did show the optional internal catch can with the vent tube but he did not install it.
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.
Did you forget that there is an EGR? that is where your soot comes from. I work on stock and modified Powerstrokes. Don't modify your engine. Nothing but trouble with these. When he puts a tuner in he will twist the gear on the crank.....stay tuned.
Hello high speeds. Just a heads up, order the SPE motorsports CCV delete not the Chinese SPE lab CCV delete. It’s worth double the price trust me. SPE lab leaks oil, even with the catch can installed and the quality is egregious
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!
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
Love the CCV reroute setup by SPE! The only thing I added was an external catch can at end of hose as it can drip some oil from time to time and I have nice driveway pavers. 3D printed it.
😮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 wish I would have had something like this for my 6.0. Every time I removed the cac boots there was oil in the pipes. I removed the intake at 90k miles and it was caked with sludge and I ran 15w40 T6 every 5k miles.
Unless your taking off your egr your not stopping the crud your showing? The newer ccv’s have no filter that plugs like older models, there is a lot of decently supported data talking about changing the back pressures etc on this engine, had the kit and removed it after 1500 km as I had troubles due to it. To each his own………but the 90% of the black crud is the egr, it enters right at your throttle plate that you showed.
Would you recommend running it into a venturi on a modified exhaust? I like the Idea of the kit, but I would rather not deal with any smell near the doors or cab of the truck?
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.
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
@@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!
Already did dat shit, don't like the smoke coming out though. May have to figure something out. Thought about a filter but felt like it might obstruct the flow.
I'd be curious how much JUNK you actually keep from running back into the intake .....about ready to take delivery of a 2023 7.3L gasser...already shopping for catch cans...
Great channel & Video bro. Question… I’ve got a 2022 F-350 as well. It just hit 2k miles. Does any of the stuff you’re doing void the warranty? I want to do all this to save my truck from future junk
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
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...
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.
Waste of time and effort taking the intake off to clean the soot and oil. Once the CCV is open vented it will not buildup any more. And there wasn’t enough buildup worth doing all that work. My hose is routes down and into the frame rail
do not recommend this mod, most of them cause more problems than they solve. who cares about a little oil, diesel burns oil. it's just another thing to get plugged/clogged up and cause serious issues. just let it get burnt up. what are you worried about a little buildup on the inside of your pipes and intake components? it causes absolutely no harm, don't be scared of a little residue.
Never had a problem with them, but it’s been a while. Love their CCV reroute tho. 3D printed and external catch can for the end of drain line and everything works perfect.
Too bad Greta won’t let you keep that. If it wasn’t for her I would have done the weight loss program on CCV EGR and DPF to go along with my DCR conversion. So much wasted power and fuel economy. 😉
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA I’m thinking about doing it anyway. Good thing I follow the current laws in my county that does not require Emmision inspections.
@@schmittybuilds1624just do it. The bs emissions youll supposedly save is made up for by the horrendous mpg you get when towing.

What I don't understand is all of these TH-cam guys and gals do TH-cam videos on the regular and they always hold their video cameras rather than buying a $30 tripod that will hold the camera for them or hold their phone for them and they can put it anywhere it's got the legs that wrap around stuff it's got clips and all that kinds of stuff I mean I even have one and I don't even do videos
Because the tripods don’t always stand level or balanced on all surfaces especially if you have mics and lights added on top which makes it top heavy plus when you’re walking around and moving constantly in a video it’s a pain to keep adjusting the camera. It’s easier to just hold it.
@@DieselLegiance or get like a head mount that will point where you're looking at something like that It just seems like it's a lot to record without some kind of like tripod or something to hold the phone It seems like a lot of extra moving around and everything
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.

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