Get a catch can before any mods.

[14SWTahoe]

So since i just read the last couple post. Would it be normal for me to not find any oil in my catch can or intake since having DOD/AFM disabled by BBP. But there was some when i first installed my MIT after around the 3k-5k range. But since the tune i have seen any in the intake. 2012 Truck only has 32K

Yes that would be normal as most attribute the using of oil to the DOD system/lifters.

I am hopeful this is what I see next oil change.

Got my catch can installed today. The one I bought has a bracket that mounts it on the front of the passenger side head.

Did your catch can come with all the hoses and stuff ? How long did it take you to install it?

Drained my catch can yesterday. Had about an ounce an a half of oil come out. Now here's the problem, after draining the can and closing the drain plug,I started the engine and a hissing noise came from drain plug. It's sucking air from the drain plug. Any help in solving this problem? I have the round type catch can. Thanks.

Update. I opened the drain plug again and closed it and guess what, no more noise.

lol. makes sense.

If you over tighten them the O ring will push over and cause a leak. Also, I have the same catch can and they are really easy to baffle. I ran a hose from the valve cover nip down almost to the bottom then bent a piece of mesh like a table so its about in the middle of the can and then cut up the green scrub sponge to lay on the screen/table thing. Now oil runs down the hose and the green scrub pad catches all the oil droplets.

Nice setup.

Just bought a 15 suburban and I'm a newbie to CC. At least on the GM cars. Which CC do you guys recommend?

Would it be good it add this to a vehicle with 117K miles? If so would you go with catchcans.com or

I added mine around 100k maybe more. Not gonna hurt at all. You will be surprised how much you get. Brand wise, i used the catchcan brand, but there are other good ones out there it seems. Look through the thread and see what you like best.

 

[mazdawg(Mikey)]

When I added mine it had 122k on it

 

[byrds6]

Does it change running performance at all or just keep more crap out of the engine? Also will the oil inside eventually burn out on its on once no more is going in?

 

[CHOO CHOO]

I havent noticed any performance gains at all. Just keeps the extra out of the engine.

What size/type hoses should i get to put on the catch can? Should I get a new one from the valve cover to it or use the existing one?
