2001 Ford F350 7.3 Powerstroke - CCV Mod - Crank Case Vent Hose
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 кві 2019
- One of my favorite mods to keep the engine clean from oil coming out of all of the pipes. International made the 7.3 to vent into the atmosphere, however, Ford had to made the CCV go into the intake due to the smog regulations. Newer turbo and supercharger cars install Oil catch cans in order to avoid the oil from going back into the intake, i was thinking to maybe do an oil catch can later on, but for now it will be dumped at the bottom in order to not have any more oil junk building up on the pipes.

I have a Dt444e which is virtually the same engine as the 7.3 Powerstroke it comes from the factory with the backward facing steel breather tube going down the back of the engine and has no catch can. I have absolutely no issue with it. I would imagine as the engine gets worn out, it will put out some blow by. But not enough to merit any concern. My bus has 270k miles and the down pipe emits nothing visible.
I believe the turbo set up will pull a vacuum on that CCV line if it was attached to the intake pre-intercooler. I think the engine would be better off without a vacuum being pulled on the crankcase.
Hey Nick I really appreciate your videos, no hype you’re learning as you go just like we do. I have a OBS 96 f250 7.3 fixings to get a 2001 Excursion 7.3 so you are helping me learn the new mods. Thanks
Nice job Nick! Thanks for all the great videos!
Great information and video. Thanks. I did install a Banks Cold Air intake on my Excursion over 10 years ago and have been very pleased with the upgrade and where it gets the air. 👍👍👍. 11-10-21
Thanks man
Great mod to do Nick, as you say keeps the engine bay cleaner 👏👏
Thanks bro
I pulled my turbo and did the xdp wicked wheel, 360 thrust bearing rebuild kit, and the garret high flow outlet. I also deleted the ebpv with a blank pedestal! She runs great!!!
I also want to do EBPV delete but that will be later on, trying to do things in baby steps when I have time with my crazy schedule
She’s coming right along. Nice work!
Thx bro
Nicely done as always!
Thanks sir
Nice Mod Nick. Only I would run that hose somewhere else away from the Exhaust Manifold to ensure the rubber remains in good condition and that when it eventually goes bad it's not dumping oil on the manifold. One that will stink like heck in the cab and two it could start a fire, maybe. Thanks for the mod. Might try it on my 01 F350. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Thanks I’ll double check things
Great video and mod nick
Thanks bro, you will love the next one :)
Great video nick, have you considered a catch can?
I like many your videos greetings from Colombia.
Thank you
Tip. Get the new 4 CCV orings for this.
There are small o-rings that go under the heads of the bolts as well. Don't forget to replace those too.
Whats this mod supposed to help with? I thought the intake would suck air and reduce crank case pressure
Reducing to half inch tube puts a restriction the the ccv. I'd stick with 3/4. Don't want to build cc pressure.
The outlet from the ccv doghouse is 1/2 so adding another 1/2 reducer doesn’t change anything. Also the inlet for the ccv in the intake reduces to less than 1/2 so its still better than stock
I have a 2000 F350 SRW 196k and I'm planning to start modifying it. Can you list the mods that you recommend?
I USE THE SAME CLEANING FLUID THEY USE ON AIRPLANE ENGINES IT LITERALLY CLEANS IT BETTER THAN GUNK OR ANYTHING ELSE. I ALSO HAVE A 200 DEGREE VERY SMALL WAND TO CLEAN TIGHT PLACES WITH MY HEATED PRESSURE WASHER. I KEEP EVERYTHING SPOTLESS. i ALSO BUILT A ON DEMAND PLUG IN HEAT POWER WASHER. SCALDING HOT WATER CLEANS AND EVAPORATES. I CAN TAKE 99% OF THE CRUD OFF ANY ENGINE OR DRIVE LINE.
What’s it called?
I had to add to my comment, the reason oil is being pulled into the turbo is because the guy had a dirty air filter. so it's sucking vent vapors from the engine, the engine was starving for air , That would never happen if he had a clean air filter. Unknowingly this guy has changed the dynamics Of the motor. If you want to have your oil get dirty more faster by all means do this CCV Mod. Also it's like eating with your bottom and pooping out of your mouth, it might work but it's not the way it was designed to work. I ask this guy , why would you want to make your truck drip oil every place it goes? he said it himself he might want to put in a oil catch can. I have worked on motors over 50 years, don't wreck your motor doing the so called Mods!!!!
What kind of plug did you put in the hose hole?
But did you plug the hole into the intake where the CCV use to vent into??
Where did you get the little cap type cover thing to go over the hole in the intake? Awesome vids bro
The breather hose is long so it is impossible in winter to freeze and squeeze out the oil from the engine. The hose should be short. Hello from Kazakhstan🇰🇿
I put a piece of exhaust pipe in place of the original crankcase breather.
How has this been on the truck? I've read mix opinions just curious thanks
Great videos
🦗
HAPPY EASTER TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I STILL WANT THE TRUCK SO WHEN YOU FINISH I WANT TO BUY IT... I WANNA DRIVE MY CHEVY SPARK TO CALIFORNIA AND BUY A TRAILER AND TAKE THE RIG HOME. GROSSVADONYA.
Thanks sir happy Easter, u in Reno?
Where did you come by that rubber cap to the existing ccv vent intake that is now to be not used (you had 3 different sizes and one fit perfectly) where do I buy that ?
I used a 3/4" chair leg slider / cap from Home Depot. It's nice and thick and fit perfectly. I put a hose clamp on it for extra protection too
Other video says to use 3/4 in hose. The 1/2 isnt enough
What happens if I don't switch jt around and just plug a hose where is at?
It will just be to loopy there? I Donno your call
This is a hazard for motocycle riders. You should use a catch can so any oil will be caught and not drip on the road.
Some people always worry about motorcycle riders...but they never seem to actually worry about themselves...funny thing...(?)
They rarely obey the speed laws, they seldom don safety gear to survive a crash, they remove the exhaust baffles/mufflers so they are extremely obnoxious on the road...they weave in/out in traffic and pass illegally when cars are backed up during rush hour...
It is hard to care about the safety/security of those birds if they, themselves won't... So it is mostly 'tough luck' for their lot...
Like someone once said about safety helmets: "If you have a $10 head, buy a $10 helmet"
You never said where you got the plugs 😊

have you had ANY issues doing this CCV mod?
None
@@FixItNick Thanks man im installing a KC turbo on my truck and the only way they warranty it is if i do the CCV mod so i was just trying to see if its something i should stay away from or not
i think after almost 100 coments, the only valid question now is, after two years, do you have any issue with this mod?
Hey there, no issues, but I noticed my intake home cap started cracking, need to replace that, and oily around where my vent hangs
@@FixItNick I think this is the real answer to both sides, thanks for your videos from Miami
@@FixItNick What is an " intake home cap" ?
@@chriscraft4236its the little cap he put on the hole in his air intake (where the old CCV elbow hose ran into).
Someone said you can get them at home depot just buy a few diff sized chair leg boot things
hey nick , what do u think about ford bringing back the 7.3L and putting them in the new 2020 dually trucks
It's a gas engine. Nothing like the old 7.3 powerstroke
Dan Smith well of course i know that😒, i was just asking what does he think about it as far as compared to the old diesel one......
@@poke85 lol sorry I insulted your intelligence. Wasn't the intention
There is no way a gas 7.3 can be compared to a TID 7.3 the gas 7.3 will probably last 100k mikes a diesel 7.3 can get up to 1,000,000 miles
cant moisture get in the engine with that open hose exposed to the elements with no filter??
Generally theres a small amount of pressure pushing the fumes out of the hose when the engine is running. I re-routed on my duramax two years ago and my 7.3 last year and haven't noticed any issues.
13.1 HIGHWAY
That's about what I get on mine.
18 mpg daily driving! Down from 21mpg last year, some highway/town/romping on it
The air tube is actually a vacuum tube
Yea that’s what I was thinking, the more I work on it the more I love the 7.3 and it’s simplicity
Vacuum tube for the 4whl drive ....
The mods pushed by companies that want to sell kits many have not done the engineering. See Gale Banks video series diff covers to see how bad some mods can be.
What kits? This is home made and makes it much better
@@FixItNick makes it wayyyyyyyyyyyyy worse..... guess what a diesel doesn't create? vacuum... so the turbo is used to pull excessive crank case pressure out of the bottom of the block. i am pretty sure Alittle oil pushing through is better then rised crank case pressure. a catch can is the only way to do it. lol youll still be pulling vacuum on the ccv if it's still piped through the intake pipe. fyi that's why this mod would work on a gasoline engine, and not a diesel.
If anything i would advise to install a catch can between the valve cover and the intake.

Hey Nick if your still running this set up on your rig you need to convert it back to stock. The CCV is there to evacuate the positive crank case pressure in your engine. That’s why it’s there before the turbo where it creates vacuum, you are going to prematurely wear the seals in your engine out and mainly damage your turbo seals. If you want further verification please go check out bill at Powerstrokehelp.com ‘s UA-cam channel (Crank case ventilation is a bad idea). He has a whole video on this and really is the man when it comes to these trucks. I am mainly an equipment tech now but I started out with these trucks and personally own a 2002 F-550 as my service truck. Love the channel bud just found you a week ago. Good to see there are still some DIY guys left. Just be careful with the misleading info out there. Remember engineers spent millions designing these engines, not everything from the factory needs tweaking. The older trucks didn’t need a vacuumed CCV because of how they were designed, they had much less blow by then theses low compression high boost engines.
Kyle Folsom, Let me guess, you also change your HPOP oil??
It doesn't actually create a vacuum . Its facing the direction of the incoming air. It should actually be facing towards the firewall.
@@andrewkaleth2703 How the hell can it create a vacuum when it's positive pressure.
Um, this may be the dumbest thing I've seen. I've had a ccv on three diff trucks with no issues. It's a VENT, it does nothing else.
How did the medium duty trucks survive without it the bud?
I rralize this comment is 4 years late, but i would have worried more about cleaning the inside of the intake than the outside.
May be a little late but, that Mod is a bad idea leave it stock.
Why, share what you know please....
I'm not a fan if the CCV mod International designed it that way. The engine can burn a small amount of oil, and it helps pull crank case pressure out. The reason you're engine was dirty is probably you where the first one to ever wash it. Also you should have replaced the seals on the doghouse (CCV housing) you have done amazing things with bringing this truck back to live, but this mod is something I wouldn't have done.
Thanks bro, the seals on the CCV housing are flexible and soft so they are still good, I think International designed it to vent out but ford had to vent it into intake for regulations, smog stations in CA don’t pass with that house off
@@FixItNick watch this video, I don't want to see ya doing damage to the motor. ua-cam.com/video/pa-224TNccY/v-deo.html
@@myleshansel7950 ccv mod helps keep the turbo and intercooler clean and dry the way they were designed. No oil or blowby should be going into the intercooler or turbo
@@scottbaker4314 okay, but still not doing it too my truck. and still won't recommend anyone doing it.
@@myleshansel7950 did you see where no one asked you for your Opinion. That’s all you’re stating, no facts. EPA is the reason for this. It wasnt done in the medium duty trucks.
Did bill tell you not to do it? He is human and can be putting out bad info.
ua-cam.com/video/QwzC8g-0o6E/v-deo.html
Sorry nick, research shows this is a very bad mod that leads to high crack case back pressure. Not sure why this is the case but you'll find several saying not to do this mode. I clean my intake once a year.
It’s here or there, international build this engine to vent out, Ford had to run it into intake due to smog regulations
@@FixItNick Have heard the same not a good mod the turbo needs the misty air supposedly, have not read about the high crankcase psi, however IH did at one time make the same vent filter , still try to sort it out myself to do or not to do....
Sorry Ted, you’re a d umbass . Let me guess, bill said not to do it?
ua-cam.com/video/QwzC8g-0o6E/v-deo.html
Get rid of that mod, Internatonal design that to go where it bid to allow some lubrication to the Turbo, put the CCV back before you fry a Turbo
No they didn't, international had it vented to the atmosphere. Ford changed it and vented it into the intake due to emission laws being different between light and medium duty trucks.
How do you think the journal bearing gets oil?.
313dieselguy from the pedestal there is a flow from there that keeps the bearings good
1st of all they're not bearings they're bushings 2nd of all If he does the exhaust back pressure pedestal delete Which would be advised for him because hes not in cold weather that flow does not go through the Turbo.. Deleting the CCV is one of the worst mods there are.
@@fatfairlane there's a oil supply line that lubricates turbo totally different than ccv or (blowby oil and crank case fumes) the turbo and intercooler work at optimal performance with cool clean dry air.
If this guy had any clue about the so called CCV Mod he would notice the little port inside the rubber tube is facing toward the the filter, not the turbo so as the motor runs, it's forcing air the other way, NOT pulling into the turbo. Also I see by the intake hose he has had dust and dirt going into his motor. So many times these guys think they know better than the engineers. Just drive your truck and don't beat it and it will do just fine for many years.
So ..did you do the ccv mod?
Not a good idea. You will build up pressure under your piston this pressure over time will send oil out of dip stick or other areas. If it was a gas engine you wouldn't make it a city block before you change it back! Pressure under your piston on a down stroke will change your Power Stroke into a Power Choke!
Makes no sense the mod is still a crankcase vent.
What ? Besides the fact you have turbo that's pulling pressure if he uses exhaust fine ! But what pulling the pressure out?
Dumbest thing I've ever read.
@@beenova3247 the head builds pressure..it's vented out with this mod...
I keep the ccv plumbed in because it helps boost the turbo
The pressure I was thinking of is under the piston. How is putting a vent on top of cylinder head remove pressure from the block? ARTIFICIAL VACUUM turbo, exhaust, to pull pressure before power stoke and not because of it...
need to put it back the way it was u create issues
Not really, international designed it to vent out and ford made it to comply with emissions
The non turbocharged IDIs were designed without it, not the turbocharged 7.3s
No.
Bad bad choice my friend
Absolutely the worst mod to do. Research it a little more
See what international says.
Do it you will find out the hard way why the oil vapor is what it is, kiss your engine goodbye, it costs around 14,000 to 21,000 to tebuild your engine after you did what your doing, talk to the mechanics on what your doing so they have the heads up on your major error, I can tell you have never owned a diesel before.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Ccv mod vents to the atmosphere..
