Do you have a second truck that you will drive next to the catch can truck to compare the two? More of a joke but there is no way to compare how yours is stacking up to a truck without the can.
these trucks are used and abused by companies for a couple hundred thousand miles all day long. None of them have a catch can.
It takes less than 1 second to glance over to turn a knob. I don’t recall the freeways littered with wrecked vehicles pre auto cc from ppl making deadly adjustments going down the road. Just a little ribbing but really. Not a big deal. Huge tablet sized screens needed to do most things in modern vehicles are way more attention demanding than a basic hot cold dial.
I also put amsoil severe gear in my rear diff. No issues works as it should and unlike whatever dummy that under fills these diffs when new, I put the proper amount in, which is the reason I swapped out the fluid in the first place.
Auto climate tends to run the ac when it’s not necessary. Always hated that. It will run it to clear the window when it’s not needed. I’m not a genius but I’m still smart enough to adjust a knob from the red side to the blue side if I am hot. The more electronics the more issues. It’s apparent daily reading this forum.
Was it using oil and you never checked it?
A good friend of mine runs an oil change shop. It’s the norm he said that people go way way over their oci not the exception.
I would never have installed them if it wasn’t for my short wife and little kids. I’m 6’1” and athletic and it’s nothing for me to get in without running boards and I like the look without them. I feel like I’m making this short little step into my truck with the running boards.
Truxedo ProX15. I put it on in 2022 it’s just as good now as day one. Very low pro and made of nice material. A couple drops can get in up front and I mean only a couple during a big downpour but I don’t care about a couple drips. Never had things get wet inside.
