My take on PCV Reroute

[Ed HD]

So, I undertook a few projects today, one of which ended up being a PCV reroute. I had a few bar stool caps around, and decided to look at it. Instead of the cutting I've seen others do, I just got some 5/8" heater hose, and stuck it on the nipple on the inside of the piece that goea into the intake tube. Took a little bit of heat, and a stainless hose clamp, and I was in business. It's totally reversible, literally had to modify nothing.

Could just be the photo, but it looks kinked?

Yeah, it's a bad pic. I did straighten it out a bit too.

I went with the whole kit but thought of DIY

I don't think you can get away with this on the LBZ or LMM as they use a molded plastic tube instead of this type of setup. Also ne coul use the 01 catch can and set it up lik an LB7 to catch and re-use the oil that gets pushed out through the PCV.

Yeah mine was a 1 pc crossover deal with plastic fittings on the ends that went into the breather holes.

Yep, I hate them 1 piece deals. They break VERY easy when working on the engine.

Me too. The kit from Tony Burkhardt is very good for the newer Duramax engines. He did a nice job with it.

Agreed :agreed: Jeff. IDK for sure but I imagine I have at least 100k trouble free miles with it.

Same here. I installed it when my truck was pretty new. Still going strong!
