Is there a DIY way to reroute it? And what not? BD has a kit but it's 130 or something like that and I don't really want to spend that much on something that seems much more simple to do/fix.

Reroute the PCV? The stuff you get from a hardware store?

Are you talkin about the CCV(CrankCase Vent)?

Yes there is a DIY way to reroute the CCV, Just need to flip the doghouse on the drivers side valve cover around and route some hose up over the brake booster, down to underneath the truck and as far back as you want to go. You can just vent it to atmosphere.

Or remove that black plastic tube and replace it with a short piece of 4" exhaust...

You added a Compressor wheel at some point...

I'm using this kit and like it: Crankcase Vent Kit I have it running to the front of the box, but am likely going to add hose and take it to the rear bumper
