We are coming out with a new Plug n Play Catch Can for the 5.3 and 6.2 engines that is absolutely incredible.

 

PM me for any questions.

Elite makes a good can.  I have one of their's on my wife's Cadillac CTS 3.6.  But on my 2500 6.0, I brought over the Conceptual Polymer can I had on my previous 2013 1500 5.3.

I have 4500 miles on my 2018 6.2. I should add a catch can ASAP?

There's a pretty lengthy thread regarding catch cans on the "engine, driveline & exhaust" section at the top with some good reading in it.

 

I personally love the elite cans. Had one on my 15 and just got one for my 18. Within 100 miles it already had a small amount of thick oil/gas sitting in it that I was able to swirl around. From my experience, these trucks have an incredible amount of blow by, much more than I've seen on any other newer DI vehicle. Nobody has really reported any issues due to blow by however, so whether or not you "need" a can is still up for debate but I think everyone can agree, that blow by isn't doing the engine any favors.

 

Elite's site is easy to navigate, choose the can you want, choose your vehicle and your good to go. 

 

I found this video below to be the most helpful when installing for my 5.3. Good camera and angles. If you get the basic can like me, the top-side nozzle pictured will be on the side of the can, install for the center remains the same.

Personal preference, I have 135,000 miles on my 2014 6.2. With no problems. Some argue it’s not a problem until it is.

I was looking at a 2014 GMC with 200,000 miles on it the other day, ran and drove great, And no catch can.
