4. Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

Removing the OEM CCV System

Step 1: Begin by locating the OEM CCV system in your 6.7 Powerstroke engine. Carefully identify all connection points and components that need to be removed.

Step 2: Start the removal process by loosening the necessary bolts and disconnecting the hoses. Use your 3/8 drive ratchet and appropriate socket sizes for this task. For hard-to-reach bolts, utilize extensions and a U-joint. This preparation ensures you can easily access and remove the OEM system without damaging other parts.

Installing the New CCV ReRoute Kit

Step 3: Mounting the Base Plate
Install the base plate of the catch can using the provided hardware. Ensure it is securely fastened to the valve cover. A size 5 Allen bolt socket and a six-inch extension will be useful here.

Step 4: Connecting the Hoses
Route the new high-quality hoses according to the kit's instructions. Connect them to the appropriate engine parts, ensuring each connection is tight and secure. If necessary, use the Dremel tool to make adjustments for a perfect fit.

Step 5: Securing the Catch Can
Attach the catch can to the base plate. Ensure the internal catch can's cheese grater portion is facing the rear of the truck. Double-check all connections and fasten them tightly to prevent leaks.

Finalizing the Installation

Step 6: Reconnecting Removed Components
Reconnect any fuel lines or other components that were disconnected during the removal of the OEM CCV system. Ensure they are properly seated and secure.

Step 7: Routing the Discharge Hose
Route the discharge hose along the frame or exhaust system to direct any expelled gases away from critical engine components. Use zip ties to secure the hose in place.

Congratulations, you have now completed the installation of your 6.7 Powerstroke CCV ReRoute kit! Next, follow the post-installation checklist to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

5. Post-Installation Checklist

Inspecting for Leaks

After installing the 6.7 Powerstroke CCV delete kit, it's crucial to inspect for any oil or fuel leaks. Check all connections, especially around the catch can and hoses. Ensure that all bolts are tightly fastened and that there are no signs of fluid leakage. A thorough inspection at this stage can prevent future issues and maintain your vehicle's performance.

Priming the Fuel System

With the fuel lines reconnected, you will need to prime the fuel system to restore pressure. Turn the ignition key to the "on" position without starting the engine. Do this five to seven times to allow the fuel pump to build up pressure. This step ensures that the fuel system is ready for operation and helps avoid any starting issues.

Cleaning Up

Once the inspection and priming are complete, clean up the engine bay. Remove any tools, old parts, or debris from the installation area. Keeping the engine bay clean not only improves the overall appearance but also makes it easier to spot any potential issues in the future.

Now that the installation and initial checks are complete, let's discuss the ongoing maintenance and follow-up steps to keep your CCV ReRoute 6.7 Powerstroke system in top condition.

FAQs

Q1: What does a CCV reroute kit do? 

A1: A CCV reroute kit diverts crankcase ventilation gases away from the intake system, reducing oil deposits and keeping the intake cleaner, thus enhancing engine performance.

Q2: How often do you change the CCV filter on a 6.7 Powerstroke? 

A2: The CCV filter on a 6.7 Powerstroke should be checked every 10,000 miles and replaced if it shows signs of wear or blockage to ensure optimal performance.

Q3: What does a CCV delete do for a 6.7 Powerstroke? 

A3: A CCV delete removes the factory crankcase ventilation system, which recirculates gases into the intake, and replaces it with a system that vents these gases externally, reducing oil contamination in the intake system.

Q4: What does the CCV do in a Powerstroke? 

A4: The CCV (Crankcase Ventilation) system in a Powerstroke engine vents crankcase gases, reducing pressure and preventing oil leaks. It recirculates these gases back into the intake system to burn them off, meeting emission standards.

Q5: How to tell if CCV is bad? 

A5: A bad CCV can be identified by symptoms such as increased oil consumption, oil leaks, smoke from the exhaust, or a noticeable decrease in engine performance.

Q6: What are the symptoms of a clogged CCV filter? 

A6: Symptoms of a clogged CCV filter include excessive oil consumption, oil leaks, reduced engine performance, and increased pressure in the crankcase, which can lead to gasket and seal failures.

Q7: Why is the CCV system important for the engine? 

A7: The CCV system is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance by reducing crankcase pressure, preventing oil leaks, and ensuring that harmful gases are recirculated and burned off, thus meeting emission standards.

Q8: Can a CCV reroute kit improve fuel efficiency? 

A8: Yes, by keeping the intake system cleaner and reducing oil deposits, a CCV reroute kit can improve fuel efficiency and overall engine performance.

Q9: What are the long-term benefits of using a CCV reroute kit? 

A9: Long-term benefits include a cleaner intake system, reduced maintenance costs, extended engine life, and improved overall performance.
