Oil catch can?

brokesilverado · March 1, 2017

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 March 1, 2017 by brokesilverado

That's even better! Free is good!

(Those prices are obscene!)

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?

txab · March 16, 2017

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.

The "nay" squad makes me sad.

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.
