I love this mod. I am doing it to my 3.0
My only question is , what do you do to the hose you disconnect from the dipstick tube?
After plugging the dipstick tube, does the hose just dangles lose?
Thanks.

The hose that connects to the dipstick can just hang there since it is no longer connected to the engine, just make sure to plug the part of the dipstick tube where the hose was connected to since that goes right in the oil pan.

i just plugged the hose with a bolt and clamped the hose around the bolt, and just tie wrapped the hose to the dipstick tube ,just so its not dangling all over the place.

I left as much in tact although its not connected to anything, it's not in the way at all.

I use a pcv with the catch can just a piece of mind for me , we get allot of condinsation here with extreme temp changes ,could be 6 c 1 day and then -20c the next day and then add into the fact the engine warms up and makes more codinsationon on top of that.

I use a catch can too. I have been using a pcv valve for a year and about 20 thousand miles. There has been zero oil consumption and no negative effects.
