well i guess you would call it the blow by bottle that hangs off the front of the truck seems to have a little oil in it at oil changes. i have noticed radiator is getting an oil ring . can you guys tell me a good way to relocate this and what size hose i would need thanks.

This is what I done, and so far it has worked well.

From earlier post:

Not as simple as I thought. I bought a 3/4 PVC rib connector and a 3/4 to 1/2 ribbed 90* at Home Depot and six feet of 3/4 heater hose from Autozone. The problem was getting the six foot piece going toward the back while keeping it at a downward angle. I ended up cutting the factory hose above the clamp on the block and put the splice there. I ran the hose over the frame cross-member and down the frame to just in front of the tranny skid plate. I tie wrapped it to the starter cable bracket on the frame and to two other places along the frame. The end and the 90 are just below the bottom edge of the frame. I just hope it not too long.

 

I moved mine to the outside of the frame rail. It's a little easier to get to and if it does leak the fan won't catch it. I find about every 3k I have to clean it.

 

One thing you have to watch out for , one is using tie straps , dont tighten to tight , I find them so tight that they restrict the blowby flow , and other thing is most extension I have seen use is heater hose and they do start deteriating , get soft and collaspe inside from oil contamination these hoses are not compatible with oil, Cummins does carry a oil compatible breather hose for doing this.

 

And it costs what, $50?

 

Well they might not be that expensive , but ya gotta remember high crankcase press. will take out the turbo seals , front crank seal and even rear main seal , or whatever the weakest link is , it can get more expensive just because of the hose.

 

Just go to the hardware store and get the clear soft plastic hose. That is what Cummins used on mine. It works well and is dirt cheap.

 

I just used about a foot of 3/4''ID hardware store clear plastic hose, slipped it over the stock hose to extend it to about 4'' off the ground. Oil paint the pavement instead of the bottom of the truck. I used no clamp figuring it could come off easily if it caught on something. It's still there after almost ten years, works great.
Sometimes the simplest solution is the best.

 

I used 3/4" clear plastic also...did it as a test...wanted to be able to see the flow to be sure it wasn't backing up at the connector. Thought it might not last but from comments above, guess it's better.
Bill, assume your talking 3/4" ID, unless it's a different size hose on the 95's. I like your idea of no connectors.

Seems that the tappet cover on the second gen is the weakest/first seal to go when running to much crankcase pressure/blowby. I totally agree with you on how easy a heater hose will collapse as well.

As where to route it to, a oil breather catch can doesn't cost that much and has a petcock on the bottom of it for draining, this sure beats just venting it on the pavement.

 

thanks for all the replys i will extend it this weekend.

 

your right about the clear plastic lines , that is what I use and I use the heat gun to heat it up and it will slip on your current line easier and cool down and get a tight fit , wont need a clamp at all .
