math_10silverado We have several new designs coming out that eliminate all crankcase pressure issues and they will be available in the next month or two. Feel free to contact me for any questions as they are a blessing for all engine seals and letting out every bit of positive crankcase pressure without causing any vacuum issues. We have several patents in process before we release as it's a completely new design for any climate or power level. Feel free to PM as I can guarantee it will perform perfect in any conditions. Joe

Sorry to get so technical, I just meant that it's very important to explain the function and how performance can be affected in different temperatures with different catch cans and how critical location is for winter months. You're all set as long as your not freezing or having restrictions or flow issues. Feel free to pm me or ask any questions. Have a great weekend, Joe

That location is ok if you do not experience extreme winter cold and you drain the catch can regularly. I just try to keep the UPR Catch Can System in a warmer location as we have taken so much time to develop the best internal coalescing system with multiple stages of coalescing screens, filters and chambers with different holes and baffles throughout the internal diffuser system. Many boast of how many chambers and other variables that mean nothing. We have worked very hard to ensure the oil coalescing with a few friends from FRAM and they told us the science behind proper oil coalescing and engine temps that allowed us to build the best internal design and performing catch cans in the marketplace. As long as the location works for you that is all that matters and if you need to adjust you can move your setup closer or further away from the engine heat depending on the efficiency of the catch can. BTW, hope everyone had a great 4th! Joe

Just a heads up with catch cans in cold weather. 1.) Drain them immediately after your done driving for the day while the contents are still warm and will flow out. 2.) Make sure you catch can system is mounted close to the engine or exhaust so it operates at engine temps or close. 3.) Most important is not to mount catch can far away from engine heat and make sure the can is designed to coalesce efficiently in heat. 4.) Some people even run a cloth winter sock on the catch can or wrap them to keep them warm and insulated. 5.) Never leave the contents in the can from the day before in freezing weather or can blow a seal or vc gasket if its overfull. UPR Catch Cans are designed to run in the hottest locations and weather and coalesce properly in that environment so you will never experience any of the above issues with a UPR Catch Can if you follow the simple steps. Just wanted to share. Everyone grab you UPR Catch Can Systems while the 4th Of July Sale is running and you can see the code in the image below or on the rotating banners of the UPR Website homepage. 10% OFF CODE: USA2019 Thank you and have a happy and safe 4th of July!

You can Block one of them off if you prefer to keep the oil cap. I really recommend the full system as I never like to take any chances with allowing oil into the combustion chambers and it's not about the cost or profits etc. My main concern is having a bulletproof system that protects the engine anywhere oil can sneak in.

The system is designed to pull the fresh air through the CSS mounted at the oil cap. The CSS can be removed very easily in a minute or two to be able to add or change the oil whenever you like. I always recommend the CSS for the best protection and to keep the filter and airbox fresh and clean. Joe

14-17 GM CHEVROLET GMC TRUCKS 5.3L DUAL VALVE CATCH CAN PLUG N PLAY ™ The new UPR Dual Valve Catch Can System without the CSS includes the connections needed for both sides. The WOT line will go from the catch can to the passenger side of the intake tube and the driver side valve cover where the oil cap used will be replaced with our quick connect insert and runs a line from the oil cap outlet to the driver side of the air intake. Feel free to PM me any questions you may have. This is was to be able to offer Full UPR Dual Valve Catch Can Systems with and without the CSS for the best of both worlds. We wanted to be sure to offer the best kit for each application. We offer kits with and without for the 5.3 and 6.2 with and without cold air intakes. Thank you, Joe

The simple explanation of the PCV system is that it's a dedicated vacuum pump to scavenge the crankcase and evacuate any positive crankcase pressure. The issue occurs during normal PCV function while the dedicated vacuum source is eliminating crankcase pressure and improving ring seal. PROBLEM: The factory vacuum source is strong enough that it can and will pull out any fluids that are still vapor. The newer the vehicle the stronger the vacuum source will be, resulting in much higher amounts of oil and unburnt fuels being scavenged from the crankcase through the PCV system and ultimately into the combustion chamber where they cause disruption in the efficiency of the cylinder firing and often results in detonation or pre-ignition. Then slowly the engine will start to build up a slow and inevitable collection of oil that starts to coat the intake, runners and combustion chambers. When you install a properly functioning catch can and not some empty container with steel wool or home made dividers in it, you collect almost everything instead of collecting a little bit of oil and thinking you solved the problem. These empty cans are only catching the solids and the vapors are still getting through. That is where UPR has taken the time to develop a multi-stage, multi-chamber catch can system that will deliver the best performance in both coalescing and condensing in hot or cold applications. SNAKE OIL: There have been a lot of unethical businesses that market catch cans with scare tactics; stories of blown engines, a bunch of Direct Injection nightmares, and so on. That makes it easy to be swayed, or for someone to make light of the benefits of catch cans without ever understanding the true function and benefits. UPR stands behind their Catch Can Systems with a full warranty and guarantee to deliver performance and mpg benefits across the board.

Sorry, I haven't responded in a few days as we have been working on some new products. The CSS is very simple to R&R and with all the customers we deal with. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to have each individual do it a few times to see what works best and they feel will be easiest to explain to the TECH working on the vehicle. I prefer to disconnect it from the intake and then you can easily spin it to undo the lower UPR Plug n Play™ fitting then use a 19mm wrench to unscrew the UPR Plug n Play filler neck fitting. Joe

1. The vacuum issue is something you might experience at idle and goes away when your throttle blade is open.This is perfectly normal and our system will close the WOT check valve at idle from the stronger primary vacuum and then it will open once the vehicle is under load. 2. The CSS only requires one fresh air in source and the flow needs to be bi-directional for the fresh air entry point of the PCV system. You don't want conflicting vacuum sources at both ends of the PCV system. 3. Cooler vapor is an easier way for inefficient catch cans to condense oil vapors. Our system was designed to coalesce the oil in hot or cold with all the stages and chambers and custom stainless filters - screens that are installed in the diffuser tube and the bottom of the diffuser shield. The cooler the location results in a ton of unwanted condensation and moisture and requires a lot of useless maintenance and time wasting. Just a quick bit of info for everyone to understand the higher end more complex mutli-stage, multi-chamber system's better. Joe

Yes, it's still good for the complete package with the UPR Pro-Series™ Check Valves. Just PM and when you're ready. Joe

Mounting location is critical to having an efficient system that is not a condensation machine and the oil comes out black with some fuel in it. It's the proper function of the catch can system and it does not require a large capacity to capture oil and unburnt fuel. We offer 4" MEGA catch can and I do not recommend them on any normally aspirated engine as they are just overkill. Thank you for chiming in " 17 Sierra " it's nice to be on a positive forum where everyone shares info. Joe

What is capacity of UPR can and how does it compare to the Elite e2x? The UPR is a 14oz. can and the UPR is the first catch can designed specifically to be used in the heat to be able to eliminate all the condensation and moisture that builds up in the catch can reducing the problem with having to drain water from the catch can all the time. Does UPR work as efficiently as e2x, i.e. does it remove as much oil/contaminants? Yes, it does and work as efficiently and capture all the oil and contaminants that come through the PCV. How much room to work with below drain - can you get a water bottle under there? The drain can have a bottle put under it or you can get a fitting and hose and drain it to a pan under the truck which is easier. Does the location of the can and/or css cap and/or lines get in the way of being able to easily remove the cap on the valve cover and pour in oil? No the CSS can easily be unscrewed and you can pour oil in without any problem. Joe

Here are the differences that set our kits apart from the rest. The complexity and build quality of other catch cans are where the main difference in price with UPR Catch Cans, and you get what you pay for. I know the UPR is more and the build quality along with many factors such as Inst-Grip Braided Hose, UPR Plug and Play™ Fittings, Multi-Stage Internal Diffuser System with Diffuser Shield and Multiple Coalescing Screen throughout. We don't stuff our cans with generic stainless steel media or steel wool. All our Coalescing Screens are designed specifically to each UPR Catch Can application. If you're OK with an aftermarket non-factory look with rubber hoses and clamps, then any brand system will work to save a few bucks. If you want an Incredible Performer that has an OEM look that will even confuse a dealer if it's factory or not, then UPR is the choice. Something to think about that never gets addressed is the flow of the Catch Can, Check valves, and Hose Quality will determine how strong the vacuum is that scavenges your crankcase and helps seal the rings. Many hoses when they get hot will collapse or shrink without any visual signs and restrict the vacuum from the intake and reduce the scavenging effect to the crankcase. These variables affect MPG and Overall Performance as well as the oil that is eliminated from entering the intake tract through the PCV system. Important Note: we eliminated rubber hoses a long time ago for the same reason everyone keeps mentioning with collapsing and failures etc. No customers should ever have to encounter those issues. Our braided hoses do not collapse or fail and you'll never be frustrated because of the performance or quality our hoses deliver. Braided Hose is standard with our kit not an upgrade or option as we want to deliver the best from the start. It's nice to have a system that does not require a screwdriver to tighten clamps or worry about them coming loose or having hoses pop off. UPR put all the very best parts together for a package price for the GM-Trucks members for vehicles without CAI and with CAI and a UPR Catch Can. I prefer to deliver a system that fits and exceeds the build quality of OEM standards and does not look aftermarket or out of place. PM me if you have any questions. Thank you, Joe

Just a heads up on the UPR Plug n Play™ Dual Valve Catch Can System Quality and Dependability. All our catch can kits come with the braided hose and OEM style plug n play fittings and never skimp on hose quality or use generic hose clamps at any of the factory connections. So you never have to worry about overtightening clamps or clamps coming loose. Our kits are priced well under what any other retailer would sell them for. You can compare other brands after adding the braided hose, upgraded fittings, and components and you will be well above the specials we run for our forum members. Always feel free to PM me for a great deal on a kit that will exceed Factory and OEM quality. We are always working on updates and improving our systems across the board and when you break down our prices you will see just how much we include and the cost factors to build systems of this quality without cutting corners.

Anyone with a cold air intake can post their pictures up. I will post pictures of the all the parts with descriptions that the UPR GM Plug n Play™ Catch Can System with CSS for Cold Air Intake Equipped GM Trucks. I will get them posted Monday and answer any questions anyone has. Have a Great Weekend. Thank you, Joe

The newer UPR Plug n Play™ Filler Neck has that movement because there is not top for it to secure against like the oil cap and is normal. The O-ring allows for the slight movement and if it's made too tight the interference can damage the factory locator tabs in the oil fill neck. PM me for any questions. Joe

UPR Dual Valve Catch Can Kits with CSS now available for all aftermarket cold air intakes. The upgraded kit features 36" of UPR braided Hose and UPR Billet Hose End Clamps. Don't Miss UPR's limited time discount offer and get upgraded to the UPR Pro-Series™ Check Valves at no extra cost. Along with a great deal on the entire UPR Catch Can System.

Updated them yesterday right after your post.

PM me your invoice number and contact info and I'll get you set up right away. Also, let me know what size shirt you wear and I'll include it with the correct UPR Plug n Play™ Filler Neck fitting. I'm glad you guys got right back to me so I could straighten this out for you. Thanks for the fast response. Joe

I have updated the design so it never has to be disassembled to be cleaned. The new design can be cleaned very easily by removing the center line on the top and just pour hot water with dish soap in it then drain it then leave the petcock open and simply run one gallon of fresh water through it and it will perform flawlessly. I have been working on the design to be the most efficient and simple to maintain. You don't have to clean it if you prefer not to. But, if you insist then it can be done once a year. The UPR Catch Can internals have been designed to require zero maintenance and last forever. We use Red Loc-Tite on everything to eliminate any assembly issue and be sure it lasts forever. Many people used to take the systems apart and ruin the UPR Plug n Play™ Fittings and O-rings. So designed the system to be sealed and require zero maintenance to last a LIFETIME. Joe

That works perfect and it the smaller unit, so the correct unit will ship out today with your large Team UPR Shirt. PM me your invoice number and info to forward it to shipping. Thank you, Joe
