Thanks for all the oil separator videos. I was hoping you would flush the hoses, I wanted to see if there was any oil residue in the line going to the intake manifold. That would be an indication of some oil vapors exiting the separator. It's definitely worth having one, just hoping to figure out which is the best, most efficient separator.
Good video. I need a catch can for my truck. I’ve seen some of your other videos. They are very good and informative so I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good videos. Thanks!
Great video again. But it is getting expensive watching you... keep adding to my 2023 chev silverado 2500hd.
Keep up the good work!
I totally agree with the other viewer who mentioned these DIY maintenance videos are worth producing.
I have the Duramax in my AT4 so I know a video on servicing the catch can on a gasoline AT4 isn't going to apply to me... but I was nonetheless happy to watch 😁😁😁😁
Is there a catch can or similar for a duramax?
@@thomasroseman575
From what I gather the aftermarket accessories for the 3.0 Duramax are coming slowly.
I haven't seen a quality catch can for them.
I did the PVC bypass on my 6.6 Duramax as soon as I bought it but that bypass uses no catch can. It's old school allowing the engine internal gases to be vented to the atmosphere.
Who would want the junk Don's catch can caught going back into their engine?
Thank you 🙏
@DougT25427 doesn't it just get all over engine and compartment. Any pictures or links or is this something that you came up with. Any other benefits. Or possible cons. Thanks
@@thomasroseman575
Its a 2007 GMC 2500HD 6.6. I bought it new and did the PVC bypass when it was new. Its sold in a kit with enough hose to direct the discharge from the engine to the wheel well area. No catch can needed.
Years ago crank cases were vented into the atmosphere so this is nothing new.
Now that we are all so "enlightened" by the green movement doing this type of bypass is horrific... 😂😂🤣🤣
Starting to get cooler up there? We're still in the low 90s (Fahrenheit) down here in FL.
It certainly is getting cooler here. Daily highs between 60-80 and within a few weeks we could start getting frost overnight
Thanks for making this video! I learned a lot. I just purchased UPR's new dual valve catch can kit for my wife's 2024 Ecoboost Mustang. Got it installed last week. I'll use your methods when it's time to clean mine. I noticed you have a check valve in the line from the can to your intake. Have you cleaned that valve yet? What can I expect when I clean my valves? Thanks again for the informative video!
How often do you drain your catch can in the winter? Looking to put one on my 6.2 but not sure on the size of can to use
Once a month is good for the amount I drive, which isn’t a lot. Expect once per week if you drive a lot. After the first few weeks you’ll know what works for you. Having a drain hose adds volume too depending on where you put the petcock.
Contrary to the haters of catch cans, I have one on every vehicle that I own. They work. Anyone with direct injection and forced induction should run one. No worries with cleaning them, just put it in the dish washer and see what Mrs Don's life says about that???
Like I need another thing for her never to forget 😂
DO LOCKTITE THE DRAIN VALVE HANDLE SCREW.
Vibration will cause it to back out and fall off, and parts are not available, requiring the purchase of a new valve.
Cheers, Tony
I have a 2023 Silverado HD2500 6.6 gas do think it is a good idea to install a catch can ?
GDI? Turbo?
@@rshinn8776 GDI?
They are available. It is a personal choice. Your engine is designed to run without one, but I do agree with the manufacturer’s claims when it comes to benefits.
How often would the can need cleaned like this. Looks way way early, even though I am a guy for overkill.
I think it would depend on mileage. I saw an opportunity and cleaned it. I would inspect it every oil change and decide then. Synonymous with other checks like your air filter. Mine is aftermarket so I can’t use the truck’s sensor.
Do diesel have a pcv is it not a ccv
Mine is a 6.2 Gasser
Don’t you think submerging the can is overkill? You wiped it. The oil ain’t gonna rust the can, imho.
Also, why did you remove the hoses and not even clean them?
Because if UA-cam has taught me anything; Better to be thorough than experience backlash. I think people can stop at any point they feel comfortable and stop cleaning. Also, being anodized aluminum, we shouldn’t experience rust.
Truck tears 😂
