Bug thumbs up!!!! I've watched like 3-5 videos on this, and this was the best 'step by step' i've seen.... could be mechanic's error but this helped a TON!!!!
I did this mod back in 2014 and within a week removed it. The breather mod seems awesome until you start dripping oil all over your driveway and have a cloud of oil smoke coming out from under your truck. I had people in traffic honking at me telling my truck was on fire! ha ha. I like your channel.
Nice vid and install... have same idea about extending the hose further down the frame. If you take a look at your throttle body plate with cold air pipe removed, you can view the oily mist mixture with EGR intake into upper manifold - soot residue build up. I had the came CCV OEM setup - non-serviceable. While waiting for your repairs, suggest working the EGR pipe bolts, that connect to exhaust manifold. I used wd40 bluetorch penetrate for several weeks (before/after running it) then spent a good hour or so, slowing working each bolt free. Basically turn 1/4 or so to loosen, then retighten, periodically soaking with penetrate oil while engine was fairly warm. Removed both bolts with no issues, then used copper anti-seize to ease removal at a later date at around 30k miles on a '17.
Can't relate to any of the mods your doing now because I have a Ram 6.7 cummins but still watch your videos. Lol. You do a really good job explaining what your doing. I gotta say the 6.7 is so much simpler tho. Lol
I am planning to do this on my stock 2018 F350 with the 6.7, my question is do you have to run a tune when you do this mod? I have an SCT tuner but no custom tunes in it, just the standard ones that came with it. I was told you need to run a tune when you put on the reroute kit. I was also quoted $350 just for a tune. I am eventually going to do the EGR, the DPF and CCV and run a tune for all of that. I want to do the bare minimum right now of cost and start doing mods to make my truck run better. Unfortunately all of my money goes to taxes and leaves me very little to play with so the $3,000 complete delete will have to wait.
Thought of doing but 6.7 won’t pass inspection with ccv delete. Also was told it’s illegal to modify your ccv. The improvements are not worth the aggravation so now I just change when needed.
Can you tell me if you are getting any oil leaking out of the hose, and how bad is the smell... Did you end up routing it to the rear of the truck and did you add a catch van if it was dripping.
no leak from the hose, but I am sure it will but at a very SLOW pace. The smell is there but not bad. I routed it underneath the truck and called it a day chief.
Did this on a high mile LML Duramax. The oil smell was negligible and only really noticed after a highway run getting worked and pulling into a rest stop. Daily no smell. Never seen oil leaking, no driveway stains. But sticking finger inside the hose I had residue for sure. Dumped behind drivers front cab mount on that truck
Great video. My question is, why didn't you change out the CCV? You need the vacuum the intake manifold causes to the ccv to rid the engine of excessive crankcase pressure. The proper way for a reroute is to install a bung on the exhaust pipe, which will cause a vacuum to the crankcase.
I’m gonna do my 2016 which only has 35,000 miles on it and I’m going to put a catch can on mine with a small filter I don’t like that smell or possible oil mess
Did you add the additional length, did you buy the SPE hose and did this “decrease” the volume of fumes and eliminate the smells. Used your vid on this project too. Thx
I did buy extra hosing (not from SPE), and it did decrease the visible fumes. With the added length in hosing I routed it within the frame rails, so no fumes could be visible. I removed it due to the fact that it may be causing back pressure due to the length of the hose.
My dealership said if the deletes didn't cause the issue they would still do warranty stuff. I specifically asked about the upper oil pan gasket. I'm guessing anything to do with fuel of motor/trans they will just blame the delete
They could, but see if any other dealerships are willing to work with you. My dealer said that deleted/non-deleted trucks are leaking regardless of tuning situation. Doesn’t matter
Do you happen to know if this would fix a P04DB code? I keep getting that CEL code pop up on my 2015 6.7, I schedule a service appt & the code goes away on its own after a day or 2 so the dealer can't diagnose anything. It's been doing this for months
@@mikz86ta1 i just did mine this week, i still get some vapor from the the oil cap, not much but a little. but it has 0 cap pressure. i put the cap on upside down and it just sits there looking likie a paper weight lol.
You will always have that slight smoke coming from oil cap, the motor on these trucks have a lot of pressure and it’s normal. Ccv will not fix that problem
How’s ordering from SPE been working for you? Seems like good quality parts and I’m wanting to do the reroute and the egr delete. But I’ve read a lot of negative comments on shipping and customer service.
The secret with ordering SPE stuff is to order it about a month prior to needing the part lol. First world probs, I know. Quality parts, no doubt about it but their customer service will put them out of the game soon.
@@MotorHead18 Can’t help but notice you’re a Baylor guy. I grew up in the Waco area, Gatesville to be exact. But I also lived and worked around Waco for many years. Work moved me to the Austin area in 2015, been living and working here since then.
