Im thinking connecting 3/4 clear tubing to end have it drain down left side. At end install 3/4 water drain valve kind that keeps pvc from freezing. Having the tubing open scares me little bit as criders and water could get in there. Now for the existing tubing I took off should I just plug it? Is there better idea? I did OFM for couple years and had major oil leak somewhere spots all over the driveway. I thought it was rear main seal but dealer found it with scope. I think it had something to do with ccv line in intake.

You should read the CRD noob guide, it's one of the first few topics in this section. Do NOT install a valve at the bottom end of the hose. It must be open or you will pressurize your crank case and blow out seals. The 3/4" hose should go from the top of the engine down to the frame rail or somesuch where it will stay relatively warm and prevent freezing. The free end of the original ~18" hose, which goes to the intake just before the turbo, should be plugged with a 3/4" plug of some kind and hose clamped. It can just lay somewhere out of the way, but you don't want this hose end open, or the turbo will suck in unfiltered air.

You will get oil spots on the driveway with this setup. If you don't prefer that, you can get a Provent filter to splice into the original path and not have open hoses anywhere.

I like the provent except the price. Is there no inexpensive fix. How about a small air filter box for hose to go into? Put a drain on it. What are the advantages of doing this mod? Right now my boost sensor was coated big time. Im starting to brain storm hummm how about big hunter sprinkler with side thingy ive seen those at HomeDepot. It will screw in 3/4 hose open the side thingy on it gut out the internals maybe add a drain?

What you're talking about doing is referred to on this board as the EHM, or Elephant Hose Mod. viewtopic.php?f=98&t=22703

I tried using a 40 oz plastic honey bottle with shop towels and many vent holes drilled into it when I initially did it, but it fell off my frame rail in short order and I never replaced it. Oil spotting in the garage was minor, but I didn't have to worry about freezing because I live in a warm climate.

My suggestion would be to try doing what is in the link I posted above, and then if you don't like the oil spotting or if freezing becomes an issue as winter approaches, modify it to your liking. Just make sure you don't block the flow out of the hose, or it will blow your seals.

I will get pics of ccv, hey draper im in UT country maybe we could do timming belt party. Anyone have a good idea for elephant mod? Is there a sprikler head design that's bigger than homedepot hunter? Do they make a big 3/4 base fatty style. If we could screw this in with our new hose using pvc parts, find cap for end of sprinkler housing put drain on it, gut the insides. Obviously I need to find one that offers free flow out the side. How about a filter that goes inline with current ccv setup?

You have many mods added to your Jeep,why the lack of interest in modding the CRD?
There are some beneficial mods out there to help your tractor out.



Hey kiasoul,your engine is going to explode tomorrow if you don't take immediate action. :mrgreen:

As long as the EGR valve is deactivated, there will be absolutely no harmful effects realized from the small amount of oil coming from the CCV. 105K miles and my intake and inter-cooler is clean as a whistle, except for a thin, protective film of oil. If the EGR valve is functioning, you will quickly have gunk all over the intake.

I did have OFM and had an oil leak at EGR gasket, dealer fixed leak for free. If I do OFM again will EGR develop leaks? There should be ceramic plate we can install and yank EGR out, somehow mod wiring to trick system into thinking everything is working swell.

Yes this is called the SEGR. No plate needed either.
