Dodge Ram HD Diesel CCV
Inside the Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel CCV System – Managing Pressure in a High-Output Diesel
Since 2007.5, the Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel diesel engine found in RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks has been a workhorse for heavy-duty, commercial, and off-road applications. As a high-compression, direct-injected inline-six platform, the Ram 2500/3500 truck engine naturally generates a significant amount of blow-by pressure—making the CCV (Crankcase Ventilation) system a critical component in maintaining engine balance.
In its stock form, the CCV system relies on an integrated breather path within the valve cover and the CV52001 CCV filter to separate and recirculate oil vapor back into the intake. While this closed-loop design meets EPA emissions requirements, it quickly becomes problematic under heavy load, high RPM, or extended operation.
The Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel CCV filter is the system’s last line of defense—and once it becomes saturated, it can trigger a chain reaction of issues: oil leaks at the turbo inlet, increased oil consumption, and premature soot buildup in the EGR system. These problems are especially common in commercial RAM chassis like the 5500 series.
The Stock CCV Filter Is More Than a Mess—It’s a Pressure Problem Waiting to Happen
Many RAM owners assume the Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel CCV filter (like the CV52001) is simply designed to trap oil mist—but in reality, it also regulates crankcase pressure. As the filter becomes saturated over time, the CCV system's ability to vent pressure diminishes, leading to pressure buildup inside the crankcase.
This imbalance often causes turbo seal leaks, valve cover seepage, and crankshaft seal distortion—symptoms that are frequently misdiagnosed as oil brand issues or piston wear. These problems escalate rapidly in high-heat environments or during frequent towing and hill climbs, where CCV filter saturation may occur in less than 40,000 miles.
Rather than repeatedly replacing filters, many Ram 2500/3500 truck owners opt for a permanent solution: installing a ccv delete Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel or a Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel ccv filter delete kit to eliminate the bottleneck entirely and restore proper pressure balance.
Delete vs. Replace – Why More Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel Owners Are Ditching the Filter
While the factory recommends replacing the ccv filter Dodge Ram 6.7 diesel every 67,500 miles, many RAM truck owners are beginning to question the practicality of this recurring maintenance. For commercial vehicles, tow rigs, or high-use fleets, frequent CCV filter replacements come with not only parts costs, but also valuable downtime.
Installing a Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel ccv delete kit changes that logic. By eliminating the oil vapor recirculation loop and routing crankcase gases to a catch can or atmospheric vent, owners bypass filter life limitations entirely—and actively solve the pressure buildup and intake contamination at the source.
An added benefit? Lower intake temperatures. In the factory setup, blow-by gases are fed back into the turbo inlet, coating the intercooler and increasing intake air temps. A reroute kit stops this from happening, giving your engine cleaner, cooler air to work with.

All SPELAB kits include CNC-machined fittings, reinforced silicone hoses, and Ram 2500/3500 truck-specific mounting hardware to ensure a clean, interference-free installation across all RAM models.
Engine Bay Routing Tips – Creating a Safe Vent Path for Your Ram 2500/3500 truck CCV Delete Kit
When installing a Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel ccv delete kit, it’s important to recognize that engine bay layouts differ slightly across RAM model years. For example, 2010–2012 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks have a tighter passenger-side engine bay, with the exhaust manifold, main harness, and airbox located closer together. This can make hose routing more challenging.
To ensure proper airflow and long-term reliability, here are some key routing recommendations when installing a CCV PCV reroute engine ventilation kit:
-
Keep hoses away from high-temperature zones like the exhaust manifold or EGR cooler
-
Mount your breather filter or catch can near the passenger-side shock tower for easier access
-
On commercial trucks like RAM 4500/5500, consider routing through the frame or chassis support rails to create a clear, cool discharge path
-
For vent-to-atmosphere setups, add a breather filter to prevent dust from entering during pressure fluctuations
Proper routing and placement reduce the chance of heat damage, hose failure, or system blockage—and ensure your CCV reroute kit performs at its best without triggering fault codes.
Post-Delete Maintenance – From Filter Replacement to Oil Vapor Management
Once you’ve installed a Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel ccv filter delete kit, you’ll no longer need to replace the stock CV52001 filter—but that doesn’t mean the system is completely maintenance-free. Since a reroute system vents blow-by gases outside the intake tract, it still accumulates oil mist and condensation over time.
To keep your system running clean and efficiently, follow these suggested maintenance practices:
-
With a catch can setup, check and drain the reservoir every 3,000–5,000 miles, depending on your driving style, load conditions, and engine wear
-
Inspect hoses and fittings regularly for aging, leaks, or loosening—especially in high-heat or dusty environments
-
Deep-clean the catch can every 10,000–15,000 miles to prevent carbon buildup and ensure clear airflow
-
For breather filter systems, clean or replace the filter element during routine oil changes
This shift from “scheduled replacement” to “visual check + vapor control” offers lower maintenance costs, requires no ECU tuning or tools, and is ideal for high-mileage or commercial RAM applications.
Legal Notice – When and Where a CCV Delete Kit Is Allowed
While a Dodge Ram 6.7L Diesel ccv delete kit offers clear benefits in pressure control and maintenance reduction, it still qualifies as an emissions system modification. According to U.S. EPA standards—and stricter states like California under CARB regulations—altering or removing emissions-related equipment may be illegal for vehicles driven on public roads.

Awesome product I put the 3" cutouts on my 78 nova and they work great. Easy to install.
After installing the Spelab intake my EGT’s have lowered about 150/200 degrees from stock! I tow 90% of the time with this truck, I should have done this upgrade way earlier!
This kit came in a very nice box with all the necessary hardware to complete the installation without any modifications. Installation time was about two hours working methodically by myself with some occasional help from my 13 year old son as he passed through the garage. As many others have commented it would be nice to have some printed instructions with the kit, but it is not hard to figure out. I went with the red version because it was the cheapest, and I think it looks great. After installation, custom tuning with a mm3 tuner, and an upgraded exhaust the 6.7 is opened up and free to run.
Great components solid workmanship very happy with the product and looks really rood. I went with the red
I am a mechanic so it’s hard for me to say someone with absolutely no skills that this is easy. But watch YouTube I will say everyone is worried about the egr exhaust bolts. But one video he sprayed them and soak them. I had sprayed mine each time I drove the truck and every morning for 4 days. Than another video a guy said drive the truck get it hot than when you go to take them out hit the socket and extension with hammer to loosen them. So I also did this. They all came out with absolutely no problem. I did have to take off my intake cause I did the ccv and disaster kit as well. And these bolts did not get sprayed. And one did break! I was able to get it out with wd40 and pb blaster and tapping with hammer. To drop dpf I sprayed the hangers with pb blaster used a pry bar and they pop right off. Remember when taking that off you might miss a coupe connectors so take your time! Also the back of dpf I had two broken studs and one so rusted that I had to use a grinder. After got it out I had to take a drill to my existing manifold cause the rusted bolts closed up the holes. Currently I left my dpf tank in the truck. I plan on removing it but I don’t have a reason yes!
Make sure to read all instructions and again take your time. I’m currently having issues updating the mini max cause I didn’t do it before install. But spe hands down was amazing the products everything was perfect besides the intake. The mass air flow sensor didn’t fit and to clean the metal shavings I used brake clean and it melted there spray paint on that one product, everything else i believe is powder coated. I know it’s not part of this kit but the cp4 disaster kit make sure you tighten hose clamps I did not do this and it cam off so I had to take upper and lower intake off on the side of the road and lucky the truck didn’t burn down. But I would say that was my fault for not verifying!
Fits great! Easy install! All parts come with this as well didn’t need to go out and get anything. Not only that but the price man that’s damn good
Good fitment on all items. All block off plates fit good and dont leak. Downpipe fits perfectly. All gaskets included good quality.
I’m so happy with my egr delete kit and intake. I made the best decision in choosing Spelab to enhance my 2500 ram truck. I’ll keep buying more stuff from them. It’s starting to be an addiction!! Thanks Spelab!!
The exhaust and muffler fit great. Had to make one cut but that took no more than a couple minutes to measure and make the cut. I’m very pleased with the muffler included, sounds good but keeps the noise down and no drone in the cab. Will buy again.
Everything fit great. The finish is good and it includes everything you need to get rid of that POs Egr cooler
You know how it goes when you try to save a dollar, you cut cost of quality. But this is actually not the case so far. Finish is smooth, no bad cuts that i could see. Plate wasn’t warped with was a concern for me but no leaks this far. I’d buy again
Love the pipe however one band clamp was damaged upon arrival. I was able to bend it back to the correct form and use it. All hangers were in the correct location took about 30 mins for me to install by myself.
Intake came in nice and shiny looks like a great product also got the red intake plate and man oh man does it look sharp, overall I recommend Spelab products. Looks clean performs even better
Comes quickly in a little box. I work on my truck but am no mechanic. It took me 2 hours to remove and install the kit. Im very happy with the outcome. Im going to give it 5 starts but you do have to reuse the two gaskets on the EGR cooler. My advice is pick them up from the parts store so its all new. Total cost is $24 for both. They should be included but im still very happy.
Great product. Does everything it is supposed to do. I do wish it came with printed instructions. Following along with greasy fingers on my phone was problematic. Also, the hose fitting for the coolant line was a size too small. I had to purchase the correct size.
