INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR 11-23 6.7L POWERSTROKE CCV REROUTE KIT
Before installing the CCV ReRoute 6.7 Powerstroke kit, ensure your vehicle is properly prepared. Park your vehicle on a flat surface and allow the engine to cool down. Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues during the installation. This step is crucial for safety and efficiency.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
