BD makes some good products, but there is absolutely no reason to pay $335 for something that shouldn't cost anymore than $5. If you want to put an accumulator on to be more environmentally friendly, you can make one out of PVC for probably $25. Do a search over on PowerstrokeNation.com. There is plenty of information on there about how people have done the CCV mod. Personally, I just ran a 3/4" heater hose down by the back drivers side front leaf spring mount. The only time I can smell it is if I've been runnin it hard and have the windows down at a stop light or drive-thru. Otherwise I never smell it or have any oil drippin. Don't forget to plug the spot where it goes into the intake tube. I just bought an assortment of vacuum caps at Autozone and the biggest one fit perfectly.
I agree it is a higher investment and the solutions you mention do work! For the guy looking for a clean, OEM look install and zero smell, especially at the stop light and drive through window the BD CCV kit is great. If anyone is interested let me know and I will see what I can do to lower the price for forum members.

Yes, it is a nice kit. I'd love to have one so I don't have to smell the CCV, and neither do the other drivers. But the problem with some of these professional kits is that someone made them way too nice, and that ends up costing a lot.
Right now I'm looking for ways to save money. If I have to smell some crankcase to save $300+, that would be fantastic savings! There's a lot of other stuff I can do with $300.
We need something simpler, so the cost will be less. I'd pay $50...maybe $75.

Thanks for the honest feedback, you make some good points that I have noted.
