Well don't tell anyone( not lookin for more work ) but I've been a plumbing contractor for twenty years and cpvc is better than PVC. Better than that is copper, brass, stainless. Since we aren't building a piano though I just use 5/8 hydrolic hose. If it collapses than your truck is already on fire for some other reason.5/8 heater hose will work too. Just gear clamp and go.

I haven't done it and I'm not going to. I just extended it down to the sway bar with some heater hose. It's been that way for 5 years and the hose is still holding up like it's new. It's never frozen up and I haven't ever had an oil loss either. I just don't like the look of PVC running across my engine.

My design is for the offroad application where I climb steep grades and come back down them. So the pipe over the back is not required but sure works in keeping the oil in the crankcase when descending steep grades or mountain slopes like I do with getting firewood.

I understand. I would definitely do it if there was a different way of doing it.

Replumbed mine just like MoparMan's but in nice shiny copper with a piece of 5/8 heater hose dropping down to bottom of frame rail. Just used what I had lying around. Which is a lot of sh#% I mean stuff....

I'd like to see pictures of this. Another thought it since its copper you could have it plated or chromed... :wink:

I don't have photos, but I did a similar mod to Mikes, with 3/4 heater hose, and it seems to be working. It's routed higher than the valve cover and runs down the drivers wheel well to remain clear of the fan.
