you diesel only truck folks crack me up sometimes. us diesel car folks have been dealing with CCV and EGR issues in our cars for over 10 years. but instead of creating rolling environmental catastrophes, we figured out responsible ways of dealing with it.
i can not believe how people are all outraged at BP and Embridge for environmental catastrophes, but will turn around and advocate doing the same thing in their/my backyard. would you dump used oil in the gutter or down a sewer? that is the same thing as the ccv mod.
ccv mod makes the crank case an OPEN vent system- noy unlike the way we did it in the 60's and 70's.... remember when you had to run your wipers and washers when you were behind a semi? its dirty and nasty. and you are basically dumping that oil onto the ground and contaminating the soil and water and air.
the $300 filter kit is a $150 mann ccv filter kludged together with some hoses and clamps. the $250 racor unit is PURPOSELY engineered. time money or frustration. pick 2. then again, it must be better because its a Banks unit.
