Did you buy new quick connect fittings or cut the ones off the factory line? I'm trying to find out what size and where to buy those fittings. I want to be able to just hook the stock line back up quickly in case i go in for warranty work.

 

I got this as kit and it come with the Quick fitting mounting brackets and hose. everything that you need but they do sell the replacement quick connect fittings as by itself and the size is "Medium" for our car.

This is a write up on installing an ADD W1 oil catch can on a 2014 5.3 Denali with a few thousand miles.   I like the RX can but after some research, the ADD can had good reviews as well. so fo

Well this issue is not specific to our trucks. If you look around at any other car/truck forum everyone is having the same issues. Over on the F150 forums, this is an issue on both the 5.0 and the 3.5

Reviving The Dead here, looking to add catch can to my 2018 6.2L. The add W1 catch can looks like a viable option at an affordable price. Really considering the version 3 that way I can return everything to stock quickly if need to. How's everyone's working? Anything you would change?

I have had mine for about 11 months now.  I think it is V1 or V2 however.  It works great.  Maybe too good in the winter.  I have to empty it about every 3-400 miles in the winter.  It is 95% water, but still fills up really quick.  I am not complaining, because that is moisture that is not going into the intake manifold.  During the summer, I can go several thousand miles between emptying it as it collects mostly oil and sludge in the summer.  I am thinking that down in Arkansas, you won't experience the moisture problem nearly as much as we do up here in Wisconsin.

 

For the money, I think it is a a great buy.

Kind of on the fence between the ADD W1 version 3 and UPR catch can. The ADD is a bit cheaper, but the UPR has a cleaner install look and I like the filter design of the UPR better.

what did you end up with and how do you like it?  I’m deciding between the same two for my 2017 5.3

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
