exactly what ram07saw said... Most of the time you start to see allot of crank case blow by, there is trouble to be found some where causing the problem and most of the time it will take the motor out!! i have seen several 5.9s this way... Also i have never had this code other then the time my number one piston blew out on me! But there is allot more to look at other then trying to keep code from coming on and cleaning the filter cause whatever is causing it, its not good mostly.. And i drive my truck damn hard all the time and never have that code problem pop up... just FYI
 
I already have a breather on that part of it. I plugged the hole in the intake or you'd be right.
I would recommend this to anybody, any application that dumps the PCV back into pre-turbo is a bad idea. The filters on it never filter out all the oil and you always end up having a bunch of oil and gunk on your compressor wheel. My buddies subbie is the same way and we had to take is intercooler off to clean it, top mount so it wasn't a bad job, but pulling the intercooler off our trucks is a mofo and I wouldn't do that job again even if I was paid. The third gens just dump right down the side of the block with that tube and I don't see any reason the 6.7 couldn't be the same way...
 
i read somewhere on here that, don't remember where but that the air will move past the sensor so fast that is doesn't detect any pressure i guess and throw a code, just an idea don't know if this helps or not.

So, have you considered making an upgrade package for the 6.7?

:party018: Shibby to the rescue again I like were your heading with this Would you get any oil that would mist all the underside :confused013: if not I would say that sounds like money to me :yourock:
 
The crank case vent dumps into the breather pre turbo that means it dumps into a vacum if you re enginer it to have a good ole fashion puke tube like all 5.9s had you would be dumping into atmospheric pressure(14.7psi at sea level) so you would actualy have more cranckcase pressure. All diesels in the us ran hundreds of thuosands of miles like that just fine. and likeshibby siad you would be keeping ccg out of your turbo,intercooler,intake and cumbustion chambers. sounds good to me! just unhook gut the filter and see if you get a code.
 
Perform Service

I have been getting the perform service on the OVHD. I checked the CCF and it is not bad at all. How do you get the OVHD to reset? I have tried to reset it with no luck! If I decide to reroute the CCV tube, what size pipe plug do I need? it lookas like a 3/4"???

If you've been clearing the OHD with the procedure then You may be getting the mesage due to some other issue. Seems like DPF delete details cause that message.
ARe you clearing codes, using a PS Sim and what Sim are you using?

You know it pal. Remember that oil you saw in my flapper body? What do you wanna bet it's that? It was clean because I had just changed the oil before I went up to Michigan. But I know th eturbo is clean, I check it frequently

3/4" will do it, it's tight, but it will work - there's a few of us here who have done this delete. I did mine when I did the other deletes, never a code for this. Plug the inlet @ the turbo and vent to the atmosphere.

Forgive me, is your CCV filter removed or did you just bypass the turbo inlet? Any oil dripping?
 
I am interested in doing this also.

They are like a 119.00 bucks here. I think to cleae the ovhd you turn key on press brake pedal twice then gas pedal twice.
 
I am going to remove the filter and run heater hose down to the bottom of the truck. Anyone have any suggestions on what to use to plug the turbo inlet?

I would think running the filter without the negative pressure from the turbo is creating a lot of back-pressure? This is why I am removing it.
 
Is it possible that someone could do a write up like the EGR write up for us visual types :thumbsup:

Any takers?
You do the thread and I'll clean it up for the tech article section. :thumbsup:

That makes sense, and is probably why I'm seeing my filter fill up quicker.

If I get some free time this week I'll see what I can come up with.
