If you find oil stains at the turbocharger inlet or severe carbon buildup in your Duramax intake system, the original CCV system is likely the culprit. Our Duramax PCV reroute or CCV delete kit offer a clean and efficient solution—preventing oil mist from entering the intake manifold and protecting components such as the turbocharger and boost lines from contamination. These kits improve reliability, minimize blow-by effects, and help your engine maintain stable performance over the long term.

Universal Fit
If you own a GM heavy-duty pickup, you know that the Duramax CCV (Crankcase Ventilation) system is a double-edged sword. While designed to recycle crankcase gases back into the engine, the factory setup often dumps oily mist directly into your turbocharger and intercooler. Over time, this leads to messy oil leaks at boot atmospheric vents, carbon buildup on intake valves, and a significant decrease in cooling efficiency.
At Vigor Diesel, our Duramax CCV reroute kit is engineered to solve this "sludge" problem once and for all. By redirecting those oily vapors away from your intake tract, you ensure that only clean, fresh air enters your combustion chamber. Whether you are looking for an L5P CCV reroute to protect your modern sensors or an LB7, LLY, LBZ, or LMM CCV delete solution to clean up your engine bay, our kits provide a professional-grade bypass that enhances long-term reliability.
Whether your Duramax engine is a classic early model or the latest high-output powerhouse, Vigor Diesel offers a precision-engineered CCV solution. Our product line is developed strictly according to the original factory engine layouts, ensuring that every Duramax CCV reroute kit achieves a perfect, "bolt-on" fit.
Currently, our kits provide full coverage for the following Duramax engine platforms:
2001-2004 LB7: A must-have upgrade to resolve oil pooling issues in early Duramax intake manifolds.
2004.5-2005 LLY: Optimized kits specifically designed for the unique valve cover outlets found on the LLY.
2006-2007 LBZ: For this legendary platform, our LBZ CCV delete significantly improves intake purity and air consistency.
2007.5-2010 LMM: Fully compatible with early emission-standard models equipped with DPF systems.
2011-2016 LML: Addressing the high demand for LML CCV delete solutions with heavy-duty, high-pressure reinforced hoses.
2017-2024+ L5P: Designed for the L5P CCV reroute market, our kits account for complex sensor layouts to prevent unwanted CEL (Check Engine Lights).
When shopping for a Duramax CCV reroute kit, understanding the hardware differences between engine generations is crucial. While they all belong to the Duramax family, variations in valve cover designs and sensor placements mean that one size does not fit all.
For models ranging from 2004.5 to 2010, the engine architecture is relatively uniform. Our LLY, LBZ CCV delete, and LMM kits utilize a universal heavy-duty hose and fitting design. If you own any of these three platforms, this standardized kit is engineered to fit the crankcase vent ports perfectly across all three generations.
The 2011-2016 LML engines saw minor adjustments in intake layout. To meet the high sealing requirements of LML CCV delete users, we’ve designed a dedicated kit for the LML that matches its specific engine bay geometry, ensuring smooth, kink-free routing even in tight spaces.
As the most advanced platform to date, the L5P is highly sensitive to crankcase pressure. Our L5P CCV reroute kit features heat-resistant materials and is precision-calibrated. This ensures that while redirecting vapors, it won't trigger Check Engine Lights (CEL) due to pressure variances, giving you peace of mind alongside a cleaner intake.
Before deciding to install a Duramax CCV reroute, it is important to understand the tangible impact it has on your vehicle. At Vigor Diesel, we believe in providing transparent information to help every truck owner make an informed decision.
Keeps the Intake Track Clean: Completely eliminates oily mist from entering the turbocharger and intercooler, preventing carbon coking and sludge buildup.
Extends Component Longevity: Protects intercooler boots from oil-induced degradation, reducing the risk of boost leaks and premature failure.
Optimal Engine Breathing: By preventing oil mist from mixing with soot in the intake manifold, your engine maintains better airflow and combustion efficiency.
Simplified Maintenance: Reduces the frequency and hassle of cleaning the entire intake system and intercooler assembly.
Environmental Regulations: Since vapors are vented to the atmosphere or a catch can, this modification may not pass visual inspections in regions with strict emissions testing (such as California).
Slight Odor: You may notice a faint smell of oil vapor outside the vehicle while idling or stopped.
Condensation Management: In extremely cold climates, regular inspection of the routing hose is recommended to prevent ice buildup from condensation, which could restrict crankcase ventilation.
While almost any Duramax owner can benefit from a cleaner intake, installing an LBZ CCV delete or L5P CCV reroute is considered essential in the following scenarios:
High-Mileage Trucks: As engines age, "blow-by" naturally increases. A reroute kit prevents an excessive volume of oil vapor from overwhelming your aging intake components.
Performance & High-Boost Builds: Under high-boost conditions, factory CCV systems often struggle. Rerouting ensures that your turbo pulls in only clean air, maintaining maximum efficiency during hard acceleration.
Heavy Towing & Commercial Work: Prolonged heavy-duty operation generates higher engine temperatures and crankcase pressures. A Duramax CCV reroute kit ensures your intercooler stays dry and efficient under constant load.
Cold Weather Protection: By removing the oil-water mixture from the intake tract, you significantly lower the risk of internal intercooler icing during freezing winters.
Investing in a high-quality Duramax CCV reroute kit is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to protect your engine. By stopping oil contamination at the source, you aren't just improving current performance—you are investing in the long-term health of your turbo and engine. At Vigor Diesel, every LBZ ccv delete, LML ccv delete, and L5P ccv reroute kit we offer is rigorously tested to ensure the most reliable modification experience for your truck.
No. All Vigor Diesel Duramax kits, including the latest L5P PCV Reroute, feature a 100% bolt-on design. We use CNC-machined billet aluminum adapters to directly replace the factory plastic connectors. This means no factory hoses need to be cut, allowing you to return your truck to stock whenever necessary.
These are specifically engineered for the L5P’s unique pressure monitoring system. The L5P is extremely sensitive to crankcase pressure; our high-quality billet adapters are designed to house the factory sensors perfectly. This ensures that while vapors are rerouted, the ECM still receives accurate pressure signals, completely preventing Check Engine Lights (CEL).
Yes. The Vigor Diesel kit is a complete "out-of-the-box" solution. In addition to the CNC billet bases and anodized AN fittings shown, it includes high-temp heavy-duty hoses, high-strength bolts, O-rings, and brackets. No extra parts are required.
No. Our kits are physically engineered to mimic factory back-pressure balance. As long as it's installed correctly, even a completely stock Duramax (especially the 2017+ L5P) can run this kit without any additional electronic tuning or "deletes."
Our expertise spans all three major diesel platforms. If you have other trucks in your fleet, you can directly browse our specialized Powerstroke CCV Reroute Kit and Cummins CCV Reroute Kit.
