Got my catch can mounted (and a pair of LED fog lights installed). Ended up mounting it to the cross bracing above the brake booster. I think it should be easy enough to get to in that location. I appreciate all the posts on here. Makes doing stuff like this that much easier with the helpful tips and ideas and knowing others are successful.

Just ordered my RX catch can after reading through the entire 39 pages! My truck only has 3300 miles on it so hopefully this will help it!

I empty mine every 300-500 miles during the winter. I empty 7 to 8 oz. each time with most of the collection being composed of water.

Anyone having problems with freezing? Been minus 10 here a couple times.

My truck seen -15 a few times last yr with no issues

No problems with mine being parked outside. Temps have been around -20 most of February, many nights with wind chills of -40. There seems to be just enough oil in the mixture to prevent freezing. As an aside, it sure takes a lot of cranking to get these DI engines started on the cold mornings.

Installed a catch can yesterday and cleaned the throttle body, intake tube and manifold. I had oil and grime all over the place.

Installed mine at 3,174 miles. After just two days and 57 miles driven. Half country roads and city miles with a couple remote starts since its been around 0°F here. I had about a shot glass worth. I was very surprised at the amount collected. At this rate it'll need to be dumped every fill-up. Its baffling that GM would consider this amount of oily residue to be passed back into the intake acceptable. I mean just look at it sticking around the upper rim and to the bottom of the can! I've been down that road with my wife's former Acadia. Peace of mind that I'll hopefully avoid those issues with this truck.

I empty mine about every 20% of oil life on the gauge. I get about 1/2 a can out of my Rx can.

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
