Ghost,


I pushed it in about haft way down. With an adapter (Micro Cleaning kit) from Shop-Vac to connect the vacuum and the tubing, it was sealed enough to do the job I wanted. Make sure you bend the tip of the tubing a little and make as flexible as you can. You will have a little challenge getting the tip to turn 90 degree at the start of the CCV pipe.

Edit: you can remove the middle piece and use it as in the picture on my first post.

^ yeah, if your car sits at the airport for 2 or more days at teens temp. No insulation would be able to protect the ccv from freezing under those conditions.

Army, thanks i'l post pics!

Well that's just great. I barely drive the truck, but at least it's garage kept, so I have that going for me. Guess I now have an excuse to take a decent road-trip.

That vacuum idea doesn't look that bad right now. Going to take a look how difficult this process would be on the 4.8.

I already own most of the stuff required to do this, so thanks for the idea Army.

Army, is this the kit? Does it fit the standard Shop Vac hose? Thanks again.

I'm going to try doing this on my 3.0 later today. Santa Clause won't leave me alone, he's taking all my free time!

I'll post my results. I too have what I need to do this.I hadn't thought of the shop vac as a way to extract fluids before this thread, That may be a good way to change fluids also:thumbup:

great thank you. Going to order it today. I will replace the tubing if this doesn't work. I am sure Pet Land, HD or Lowes will have a huge array of tubing I can try. Thanks.

Ghost, make sure you remove your filter and bag (if you use bags) from your shop vac. Well at least that's how mine works when sucking liquids.

SlickGT1,

You can buy everything at Lowes if you don't want to wait for the post man. The Kit is right next to the Shop-Vac.

Good idea. I forget Shop Vac is lowes brand. Thanks.

Ghost,

Have you completed the work yet? Did it worked for you?
