It would be interesting to put a vacuum gauge on the line running into the intake plenum to see exactly how much suction is actually being generated by the engine to warrant the use of 350 psi hose.

 

These engines suck, but I don't think that much.

I got the hose given to me free of charge so I used it. Didn't mean it had to be 350 psi. Edited by brokesilverado

Mine did until I used hose rated for 350 psi.

Just received my e2 catch can, going to put it on in the next week or two when i get a chance. Which hose was the one that you ended up replacing with the thicker walled hose? Figured I might as well put a better one on there from the beginning, odd that they would send hoses that have the chance of doing that in the first place.

I made my own can so the first hoses I used was just regular vacuum hose. When I changed I did both hoses.

Moroso can only traps app 15-30% of what enters it allowing the rest to pass right through still causing the issues. Very east to test this to prove. Simply install an Elite E2-X inline AFTER the moroso (or any of the small billet cans as the design and manufacturer are the same as app 20 other brands) and it will trap as much to twice as much as the Moroso does first in line showing what gets past. Drive 1000 miles minimum. Then drain and clean both cans of all oil, then place the E2-X first and the moroso second, and almost nothing gets past the E2-X. easy, accurate, and fair test.

Quit worrying. You will NOT void the warranty.

 

And you know this how? Should a moderator be taking sides?

I personally know this because we have over 60 vehicles running CC. The first 10-15 or so were installed by the supplying dealer before delivery. I have ZERO worries about this mod since I know the dealer continues to add them for other customers if they wish

 

And Mods can take sides or positions if they wish. no financial gain in this for me

 

As I told you earlier at this point you are just wanting to be argumentative and be a troll about this subject.

Have you contacted any manufacturers? Your experience with one dealer is not blanket proof of anything. And, having ZERO worries about the mod only means you are not worried.

It's very much going to depend on the dealer. Should it affect warranty? No. Will the dealer use it for an excuse to not honor warranty work? Maybe.

 

The MM Act doesn't cover catch cans unfortunately...only like parts for like parts.

Yup, my dealer said, "could care less about an oil separator".......All warranty work performed without hesitation on my truck.

You've got your answer. Which can be looked at as a non answer, "May" and "speak to your local dealer". Still open.....

    • Sir, economics doesn't have a moral compass. 😉 Just say'n. 
    • One would think. BUT....This is what a Google search gives for the GM OLM system:    It doesn't measure oil condition save the highly indirect water temperature. It should measure oil temperature and as we've discussed they are not as closely related as one might assume. The algorithm is based on expected conditions at the end of a certain number of miles or revolutions. And sirs, this estimated value is not tilted in the engines favor. It favors the OEM's bottom line. There are no magical number of miles nor revolutions. No magical time limit. There is only what can be measured directly and only in the broadest of terms would the values used even come close to reality.    It samples nothing. It has no idea where the oil started or where it will finish given the limited values use to create the algorithm. It is just a reminder for the brain dead to do something at some time to keep the warranty in tact. Pure fiction.    Key Factors in Oil Life Calculation The OLM calculates the remaining oil life percentage based on the following factors: Factor Description Engine Revolutions Tracks the number of engine revolutions since the last reset, decreasing oil life with use. Mileage Since Last Reset Monitors the distance driven since the last oil change, capped at 7,500 miles for most models. Time Since Reset Decreases oil life over time, dropping to 0% after one year, regardless of mileage. Engine Temperature Adjusts oil life based on coolant temperature; exceeding 260°F sets oil life to 0%.  
    • Towing power and I guess MPG matter that’s why I may end up going with a gear swap as soon as they’re available for this truck if I’m correct
    • If I may, I'd like to post my prediction of the trim levels for the 2027 GMC Sierra, based on what was released/introduced today about the Chevy Silverado.   Using the "Professional Grade" wording already in use by GMC, here are the eight (8) trims I believe the Sierra will offer (comparable Chevy trim in parenthesis): Sierra Pro (Work Truck/WT) Elevation (Custom) Elevation Premium -or- Ultimate (Silverado) AT4 (Custom Trail Boss) AT4 Premium -or- Ultimate (Trail Boss) AT4X (ZR2) Denali (High Country) Denali Ultimate (N/A) If GMC would rather simplify the trim levels, then I predict six (6) with package upgrades in parenthesis: Sierra Pro (with a Graphite package upgrade option) Elevation (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4 (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4X (with AEV and Ultimate packages upgrade) Denali Denali Ultimate  Let's see if I'm close.
    • I have to believe there are already a bunch of threads on this, but my searches didn't turn up much. While I like the ease of a plugin solution like the Carbyte, It appears it disables the AFM or DFM too, and is not configurable to only disable the auto stop/start. So, I'm looking at the Autostop Eliminator product. I like the idea of it better, but I'm concerned about the install and having to pull so many panels to get it installed. Mines a 2026 work truck, so from what I've read it's a less involved install, but having watched a couple install vid's, I'm still a little intimidated. Might need to buy some plastic trim tools to get it done without breaking or marring stuff. Any experience intalling in a WT greatly appreciated.
