Q1: What does a PCV reroute do on a Duramax?
A1: Rerouting the PCV system on a Duramax allows crankcase gases to vent externally, preventing them from entering the intake. This helps reduce oil buildup in the intercooler, turbo piping, and intake manifold, improving long-term engine reliability.
Q2: What does a CCV reroute kit do?
A2: A CCV reroute kit eliminates the factory closed crankcase ventilation system, which recirculates oil vapors back into the intake. By venting externally, the kit keeps your intake system clean and minimizes turbo wear from oil contamination.
Q3: Is a CCV delete bad for my Duramax engine?
A3: No, it's actually beneficial for off-road applications. A CCV delete reduces oil contamination in the intake system, which can prolong turbo and engine component life. However, it is intended for off-road or race use only.
Q4: Will this kit fit my 2007 LBZ Duramax?
A4: Yes, this kit is designed to fit all 2004–2010 6.6L Duramax engines, including LLY, LBZ, and LMM models. It fits Silverado and Sierra 2500/3500 HD trucks.
Q5: Do I need a catch can with this CCV delete?
A5: No catch can is required. This kit uses a direct venting system with reinforced hose and high-flow fittings to ensure clean evacuation of crankcase pressure without pooling or dripping.
Q6: Will installing this kit trigger a Check Engine Light (CEL)?
A6: No, installing this mechanical PCV/CCV reroute kit on 2004–2010 Duramax models will not trigger a Check Engine Light.
Q7: How long does it take to install this CCV delete kit?
A7: Installation is straightforward and typically takes about 1 to 2 hours using basic hand tools. A detailed installation PDF is included for guidance.
Q8: Is any custom tuning or programming required after installation?
A8: No, there is no tuning, flashing, or programming required. It is a simple mechanical upgrade that works perfectly with stock tuning.
Q9: Does this kit include all the necessary hardware?
A9: Yes, the kit comes complete with 8ft of reinforced silicone hose, black anodized billet fittings, and routing accessories for a hassle-free install.
Q10: How often should I perform maintenance on the reroute hose?
A10: The system is virtually maintenance-free. However, it is recommended to periodically inspect the hose during regular oil changes to ensure it remains free of kinks or blockages.
