I have the GEN 2. Either will work, the GEN 2 has the black fittings

oooooook, well at 85,000 miles with a rough idle and other issues i've posted on the forum... i think i know what the problem is with my truck. it's probably not a vacuum leak, it's a f** up top end engine.... and i wanted to get 200,000 out of this thing, damn you GM.

 

better get that 3rd vehicle in the driveway and tear apart the top end of this engine. let the "might as well" list begin because emissions has ruined another, otherwise stout, LY5 engine.

Can't post a pic of mine right now, simply because I am out of state and can't take one! I went with the glass bowl one and mounted it on the fender at the spare battery box.

Do the filters in this catch can need to be replaced at a certain mileage or are they good for the life of the can?

 

Edit

n/m found it on the site in the Q/A

 

How often will I need to change or clean my filter element?

Answer: The filter element is a very important part of this catch can system and should be changed whenever vacuum pressure between the filter and the PCV valve decreases by 2 inches of mercury or if you have driven 5000 miles after installing or replacing the filter. Keep in mind that oil containing a high level of contamination will clog any filter media at an accelerated rate. Filters may be cleaned using isopropyl alcohol.

Has anyone put a catch can on a truck with AFM disabled?

im about to this week. i ordered the mike norris can

I have had the CP can AND the AFM disabled on my 2013 almost from day one after buying it new.

 

The CP can filter can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, or MAF and TB cleaner. I have cleaned mine a few times. No need to replace filter.

[jdnoble18]

The reason I ask is.....my truck stopped using oil after I deactivated AFM. I just wondered how much oily vapor it was passing with AFM off as opposed to on. But cowpies pictures tell the story I guess.

Bought a Range V-8 and the CP glass catch can. Here is hoping for a longer lasting engine.

I never put much thought into cleaning my catch can. Maybe at my next oil change I will do that. I am thinking I can just unhook the top hose that goes to the top of the catch can and pour some TB cleaner through it with the drain valve open. This should flush out the fiter media and let the gunk drip to the bottom of the catch can. After that, I could put the tip of my blower attachment in the top of the can and blow the media dry. This should get the media clean enough without taking everything apart and risking damaging the O-rings on the can.

 

What do you guys think?

My Oil CC catches a decent amount with the AFM disabled

Here is the catch-can on my '03 Sierra...

Holy hell thats a clean engine! I'm terribly ashamed of my leaking valve covers. :/

My Mike Norris catch can is still doing well! I have made it a habit to open my can at least every 2,000 miles to drain it. I still never got around to cleaning the filter media though.... One of these days.

Hey cowpie can you hear the air traveling through your lines where you have it mounted in the spare battery area? It sounds like mine is leaking but I can find a leak and it's running fine. I think I'm just hearing the air through the hoses.
