Preparation Before Installing the 6.7L Powerstroke CCV Reroute Kit (2026 Guide)
Before you begin installing your CCV ReRoute kit for the 2011–2026 6.7L Powerstroke, make sure your vehicle is ready for the process:
- Park the vehicle on a flat, stable surface.
- Allow the engine to cool completely.
- Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical hazards during installation.
These steps are essential for your safety and the efficiency of the installation.
Step 1: Removing the OEM CCV System
-
Locate the OEM CCV System
- Find the factory-installed CCV system in your 6.7L Powerstroke engine bay.
- Identify all connection points and components that need to be removed.
-
Remove OEM Components
- Loosen the necessary bolts using a 3/8" drive ratchet and the correct socket sizes.
- Disconnect hoses carefully.
- Use extensions and a U-joint for hard-to-reach bolts to avoid damaging other engine parts.
Step 2: Installing the New CCV Reroute Kit
-
Mount the Base Plate
- Secure the base plate of the catch can using the hardware provided in your kit.
- Fasten it to the valve cover with a size 5 Allen bolt socket and a six-inch extension.
-
Connect the Hoses
- Route the new hoses according to the kit’s instructions.
- Connect each hose to the correct engine components, ensuring tight, secure connections.
- If needed, use a Dremel tool to modify the fit for a perfect installation.
-
Secure the Catch Can
- Attach the catch can to the mounted base plate.
- Ensure the internal “cheese grater” portion faces the rear of the truck.
- Double-check all fittings for tightness to prevent leaks.
Step 3: Finalizing the Installation
-
Reconnect Removed Components
- Reinstall any fuel lines or other parts disconnected during OEM CCV removal.
- Ensure all components are properly seated and secured.
-
Route the Discharge Hose
- Route the discharge hose along the vehicle’s frame or exhaust system.
- Direct expelled gases away from sensitive engine areas.
- Secure the hose with zip ties.
Once these steps are complete, your 6.7L Powerstroke CCV ReRoute kit installation is finished. Proceed with a post-installation checklist to confirm all connections and components are functioning properly.
