Have you completed the work yet? Did it worked for you?
I did do it before Christmas, I didn't get any gunk at all out of the CCV.

I can only conclude
1) there's no gunk in there
2) I didn't create enough suction in the tubing

The tube came out with a little water a few drops and some black oil smudge on the outside of the tube. Nothing that looked like what you pictured.

I bottomed out the tube as far as it would go about 20 inches or so. then moved the tube into different positions, nothing seemed to bring up any gunk.

I did however suck out my power steering pump. got lots of gunk out of there, refilled with Mobil1 ATF.

If you didn't get any gunk out of it and got some black oil smudge, that mean that you didn't have that much stuff build up in there. That is a good thing :thumbup:.

That makes me feel better going into the really cold months January and February. We can get days in the single digits. If nothing else, maybe we discovered a way to check for gunk.:thumbup:

I admit all I see are hoses give them a call they are very helpful

Hi mates, i think this's what worked for just 4.4/4.6/4.8is not for 3.0?

Hey ArmyX5,

What's the size of the tubing you used? I'm thinking of doing it myself these days. 2 years ago my X caught on fire due to frozen CCV, and I've spent over $1,500 to replace all the hoses. Yesterday I saw the yellow milky stuff again, so I can't wait to dig you post out.

Thx, bro.

Great idea, but there are complete insulated kit upgrades for this problem Changed mine out after 170K without any problems. Things are go. It is a PITA on the 3.0
