FAQ
Q: How do I choose the correct CCV reroute kit for my truck?
A: Match the product to your truck’s model year, engine and platform. For a Duramax, confirm the engine code as well. Then verify the complete fitment and included components on the individual product page.
Q: What is the difference between a CCV reroute and a CCV filter delete?
A: A reroute changes where crankcase vapor travels. A filter delete removes or bypasses an application’s factory CCV filtration component. Some products combine both functions, so use the specific product description to confirm what the kit does.
Q: What is the difference between a CCV reroute kit and a catch-can kit?
A: A reroute kit changes the path used by crankcase gases. A catch-can configuration adds a container or separator intended to manage suspended oil before the gases continue through the selected route. Available designs differ by product, so check whether your chosen kit uses direct venting, an external filter, an internal catch can, or an external catch can.
Q: Does a CCV reroute kit require a tune?
A: The answer depends on the vehicle, the type of modification, and the rest of the build. Do not assume every kit behaves the same way. Review the instructions and notes on the exact product page, and consult a qualified diesel technician or tuning professional if your vehicle has other engine or emissions modifications.
Q: Will a CCV reroute kit stop all oil residue in the intake?
A: These kits are intended to redirect or manage crankcase oil mist away from the original intake route, but results can vary with engine condition, blow-by, installation, and the selected configuration. A reroute kit is not a repair for excessive crankcase pressure or an underlying mechanical problem.
Q: Are CCV delete and reroute kits legal for street use?
A: These products are sold for off-road or competition use. Modifying a vehicle’s emissions-related systems may be prohibited on public-road vehicles under federal, state, or local law. Verify the rules for your location and application before installation.
Q: What should I inspect after installing a CCV reroute kit?
A: Check hose routing, clamps, fittings, seals, mounting points, and clearance from heat or moving parts. Start the engine and inspect for leaks or abnormal crankcase-pressure symptoms. Recheck the connections after the first operating cycle and service any filter or catch can according to the instructions for that specific kit.
Q: Can I install a CCV reroute kit myself?
A: That depends on your mechanical experience and the truck. Some applications are more accessible than others. Read the product-specific instructions first and use professional installation if you cannot verify correct routing, connections and clearances.
