Couple things. 90% of all vehicles including gassers have a crankcase breather. 99% of people have never changed lmfao. Number 2 it's a Ford power stroke. Everyone knows they are trash. Cummins is it's completely own company and only make engines so they can research a lot more then most. Duramax is a sub company and still made by Chevy. Duramax last along time but have cooling issues like all GM's. 1.9 and 1.6 VW diesels last forever as well. P.s. most semis and trains actually use Cummins. BNSF uses a 9.6L in push trains and a 12.7L in pull trains.

The new ones? Sure. A lot of older ones aren't that way though lol. Sure every engine has a weakness, but something like the 5.9 12v Cummins surely doesn't require much parts replacement if taken care of.

@joshuawhite5979 Жыл бұрын

You can’t just delete the filter you have to do a reroute kit with either an internal/ external or no catch can. Crankcase pressure doesn’t affect running but excessive pressure is hard on the motor and seals. Since my truck has a reroute hose routed next to driver wheel well it has a small amount of smoke that comes up depending on load and temperature. Doesn’t bother me at all, I’d rather know my motor is happy.

@briancarpenter6848 Жыл бұрын

A catch-can will keep the majority of oil and contaminants out of the crankcase filter. I run the Mishimoto unit on my '19 and it has worked very well. I empty it at every oil change and it has massively increased the lifespan of the crankcase filter since the filter only needs to catch the super fine stuff that gets past the Mishimoto. It's like putting a dust extractor in line with your shop vac. Filters last way longer when they only have to deal with the little stuff.

On a random side note. Volvo's from the mid 1990's to late 2012's in turbo or non turbo models are ungodly reliable for 500,000+, but the one thing that will kill them is the crank case filter box. Once that clogs it blows the oil seals and the motor is done. Excessive crankcase pressure is no joke.

If the engine wasn't junk there wouldn't be excessive pressure build up inside the crankcase. The pressure builds up because compressed air gets past the piston rings. Other engines have these filters and they never need replaced.

@fazecrazy6266 Жыл бұрын

That's not the only way to create pressure physical parts are always spinning and moving by pushing air around you create pressure

@mrdrchad6110 Жыл бұрын

@@fazecrazy6266 moving air around in a closed system does not create air pressure. In order to create air pressure you need to add air to a closed system. Adding heat to oil causes oil to evaporate into a gas this adds a little bit of pressure and this added pressure is what the filter is designed to handle.

@kennethobando5755 8 ай бұрын

Not really all diesel engines have these filters or pump ccv firectly into the air filter hose. - earlier fords had this design- only issue it tends to make the turbo life shorter as it gunks up stuff- adding the filter stops this. Gas vehicles have no filters but have a more complex pcv system- with their own set of problems as well. But every single combustion engine ever made has to vent crankcase pressure or it’ll blow out seals. No way around it.

Ok I have a 2013 that does the same thing replaced the crank case filter and it still builds pressure in the engine, reading 4psi of pressure, using a cap I modified to see how much pressure is being made, while reving and at idle 1psi, so then I thought maybe it’s putting boost into the engine so I removed both up pipes to the turbo to take it out of the equation, and it still makes pressure in the crank case. So now I’m at the conclusion of either broke piston rings but my dilemma is that it runs to smooth and no smoke. So right now idk what to consider
