I know this is been beaten to death. What is the link to the catch can install & parts list. 2013 Suburban. It should have the updated valve cover, I think. But I am burning oil.

Zero reason to spend a lot of money for one. I bought this one three years ago, and it's still working fine. You'll need to supply your own 3/8" hose, and trim some of the factory hard hoses to tie into them, but it's easy.
I bought some steel scrubber pads to stuff inside the catch can to create more surface area for the oil spray to stick to, and have had no issues.

They all work the same way, but with some, you get the bracket and all of the hoses and clamps in one package.

Which one has the bracket to the alternator ? The Amazon ones seems more generic.

I just grabbed a piece of scrap metal, and bent it into shape, then screwed it into my alternator bracket. Get creative.

I still have a cheap amazon cc that I installed 7 yrs ago. I made a few mods to it and no issues. Here's the post with pics: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/get-a-catch-can-before-any-mods.49716/page-27#post-1288561

I think I copied your idea years ago, and stuffed the stainless pot scrubber in there.
The only thing I don't like about the cheapo catch can is the flimsy bracket.

J&L Catch Can (formerly JLT Catch Can) is what I used. Pricey, but no makeshift extra work needed.
But does that black spiny thing come with it? I didn’t see that in the packaging. My k&n catch can doesn’t add HP either.

"But does that black spiny thing come with it?" No idea what you are talking about here.
"My k&n catch can doesn’t add HP either." Again, not sure what you are saying here. Are you stating that an oil catch can does not add horsepower to the motor?
I think RST Dana is like me. We totally missed the catch can as we were fixated on that blower!

I went with MightyMouse. Yes more money - quality product, all peices included and good instructions. They have 2 or 3 flavors so you can get what you need. I bought an extreme but thats cause of the blower.
I have this one on my yukon and a buddy put the same on his c5 zo6. both catch oil. I think they are doing their job for the price. I'd get the longer hose option if I did it again. no modding for scrubber needed, it comes with it and has a place for it.
I also have a 3 port from Elite Engineering that ended up being over 300$ with all check valves and clean side oil separator stuff. I honestly can't say it did anything impressive. there was small amount of oil but not alot. I currently have the intake off and there's still oil in it. it could have been there from before I added it thou. but I can't say it does anything a 30$ one doesn't. especially on a daily driver.

@Joseph Garcia Catch cans adding horsepower was a JOKE. Many of us are envious of the BLOWER.....
