I stated that previously, this was in regards to water vapor caught...

 

Done here...have a nice night.

The biggest variable in how much water is caught from the condensation created by the aluminum catch can is affected by the mounting location as well. Mounting the catch can in a location closer to the exhaust will reduce the amount of condensation by keeping the can hot enough to evaporate all the extra water during the cold winter months. This is very common and many of you can reduce the water collected by mounting the catch can closer to the headers. You don't have to have the biggest system offered just a mounting location that will create enough heat to evaporate the water that builds up in the catch can system. The mounting location and internal design of the catch can is the most important aspect of the system's overall performance in hot or cold weather.

 

Here is another option designed for the most extreme conditions and it's a simple bolt-on.

It is a two sided coin. Having catch can away from engine heat helps with oil collection in the can by allowing droplets to form on cooler sides, but that also will mean more moisture vapor collection. The closer to heat, less moisture but also oil vapors not as likely to bound into droplets that get collected. Take your pick which way to go. I keep the can on my 2500 in the spare battery area on the fender. On my Cadillac, just behind radiator on passenger side of engine compartment.

The design we have for the internal chamber and multiple stages with 4 different coalescing filters does let all the small droplets through in mist or vapor form like other catch cans do when mounted closer to the engine. It's taken a few years to develop a system that was as strong as a performer when mounted next to the engine and or headers. I will attach a quick image of the Patented internal design. I get this reply a lot as our design is so new to the industry. The biggest variable is the micron count on the filters at each stage to work in a series. Just wanted to share that to show you how different the UPR Catch Can Internals have been Engineered.

 

Here is a quick link to photos of our kit installed both the 5.3L and 6.2L engines. http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/catchcanstore/slideshow/

 

BTW, what Cadillac do you have? Just curious.

How do you like the CTS, I was thinking of getting 3.6L TT CTS for my son to get him in a 4dr instead of his Camaro.

I have never really liked very many cars over the years. The wife spotted this one and wanted it, so we got it. I actually like this little gem. A real pleasure to drive. Plan on keeping it for a long time.

Heck, I thought I just bought a can with steel wool in it? One day I will take the 300.00 Elite Catch can off my truck and cut it in half and look at it and surely be amazed! Oh, well... maybe someday!

Not sure why you would pay $300 for an Elite can. My Elite E2 was $179 delivered. No need to cut it open, totally disassembles in less than a minute. 4 chambers also.

Here is what we offer for the UPR Dual Valve Catch Can without a Clean Side Separator so you still get the benefits of the WOT = Wide Open Throttle Evacuation and the complete braided line package with OEM UPR Plug n Play™ Fittings and UPR Billet check valves. This is the cleanest and best-engineered setup to install that all the dealerships we deal with love them and many install them as well for their customers.

ummmm....e2-x with clean side separator over 300.00? Not sure where you got confused?

My bad. I just read Elite E2-x, not the clean side part. And it didn't dawn on me to ask if the clean side unit was bought also. I never saw a good need for on any of my stuff. I don't do WOT events. This below is the post I saw. There was no mention of clean side in the post. So yes, it would be easy to be confused.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
