BREAKING STUFF !!!!!!!!!!
I have been reading for the past few days some of the mods on this site. I was wondering why the CCV mods I have seen go straight into the exhaust without a check valve such as MOROSO's: http://www.moroso.com/catalog/images/25900_part.jpg ?
I have a background in building Fast street cars, and by fast I mean up to 7 second 1/4 mile and slower cars. This system works excellent in mid range powered fast cars. It doesn't produce as much negative crankcase pressure as a vacuum pump system but it will pull a considerable negative atmosphere condition which reduces crankcase windage and increases horsepower. In a diesel application I don't even know if a vacuum in the crankcase will help power in a sub 4,000 RPM engine.
I had the intercooler replaced twice in my '99 PSD CC DRW under warranty for the oil buildup in it because 1. I know people in the service dept. & 2. I drove them around in it with my OTC Genysis on it and showed them the IAT temp before and after the replacement. 3. I told them how my business spends an average $3,000 monthly in the parts dept. I think the last one is what got it done. On a super hot day it could change it 30 degrees F* with the new intercooler on my max tune. I am not kidding you could feel the difference seat of the pants and the G-tech on instant G data proved it.
QUESTIONS:???????????????????????????????????????
Does anyone know if the diesel impregnated oil from our trucks will damage the diaphram in these MOROSO style check valves? Also if any of you pull an enclosed trailer with the CCV ran to the exhaust do you get any oil residue on your trailer. I am going to do the mod I just haven't decided which way to do it yet. My truck has scmt 1705, 4"down and magnaflow stainless 4" exhaust. I was thinking of putting the CCV tube behind the muffler so I don't (over time) get the bottom of the muffler full of oil, park on a steep hill and exxon valdese the spot behind my TP on start-up.
Thanks for all your help and thanks, SDD,
