i went to my local part store and they promise me my truck has nothing on it called a cdr. Which i know it does. How do i go about getting one? Will it have any effect on my engine besides my oil consumption?

 

You can try removing it, and letting soak in gasoline for a few hours, taking it out and shaking it every 20 min or so during those hours, to clean it up. But it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a new one.


I think the CDR is a Ford or IH dealer part only.


But yes a bad, or dirty CDR will cause oil consumption.

 

I was looking for a replacement for mine, no dice so far. I will check the dealer, thanks

 

Its pretty much a dealer only part these days, and not as cheap as it should be

 

Dealer part, but they won't call it a CDR valve. Here's the Ford PN: E3TZ-6A665-A

Holy crud, that is expensive! The hose from the valve cover to the CDR is cracked on mine, I think I will try to clean with some ATF and acetone mixed (best solvent ever!) before I drop $90 for one...

 

yeah.so many of us would faint if we had to maintain a powerstroke.
did ya see the first link though,it's 50 there.much better,but still does seem silly high for such a basic device.
i know you can wash 'em out,but your not supposed to used compressed air,and if you see black chunks coming out while washing,that's when you know you need to replace it i guess.still haven't bothered to wash mine yet so i dunno.

 

I bought the tube and gromet at ford when I cleaned mine

 

This si what I am planning to do, a quick look at it when I had it off Sunday it appears to be in good shape.
