I would run one for sure.

Yes, but the 2019 new body engines L82, L84 and L87 benefit from an improved rocker cover with integral separation over the L83 and L86 rocker covers with integral separation.

Just saw your avatar. Are you running a diesel? If so ignore my post.

So here is someone you can contact. They should have the instructions for the 2019s by now.

I put a CC on my older 5.3 after I found out about the PVC issues on that motor. They have made changes but I would still run a CC and especially with a GDI engine. GM has a habit of using consumers for Beta testing. My truck was three years in to the new model production and still had major issues. Was not fully addressed till about 5 years in on the new model.

I'm really curious if the 2019's will need one or not.   Anyone know for sure?

Yup I have a duramax. Best truck I’ve ever owned thus far. We ordered a at4 for our Daily as the duramax is just a little to much truck for when we go to the city, not to mention the regens and fuel consumption when in town. Our last 1500 has a 6.2 and it was a demo. It didn’t have a cc but after 15000km the intake looked like it was 5 years old. I want to make sure I have a cc on before I take delivery this time around.

I am not sure that there is a motor being made that could not benefit from a oil separation device installed on the PCV line.  Since diesels have been required to have closed CCV systems on them in 2007, all heavy diesels have PCV/CCV filtration units on them.  The Auto and Pickup OEM's are just a bunch of cheap morons and only worry about getting thru the warranty period and the customer be damned after that.

 

It is really surprising with the move by the OEM's to go to turbocharging on many of their gas engines that they do not have a PCV filtration system.  When the turbo spools up it can really draw a lot on the PCV system.  This is why many turbo gas systems get lots of crud buildup in the intercooler and intake.  

 

But even naturally aspirated engines can benefit.  Some more than others.  It is relatively inexpensive to install a good catch can on a engine that it seems funny that many will not consider it when they have no problem dropping thousands of dollars on eye candy and other nonsense for their pickups or cars.  To actually spend money on something that could help mitigate future problems?  God Forbid!

I've been reading and watching videos on this, and I am sold.  Now I just need to find the best/easiest to install.  I'm not particularly handy but looks easy enough.

As far as the engine features it mentions something about baffles and oil/air separation.  

 

Was wondering if this helps with the buildup in the intake.  

 

PCV-integrated rocker covers: new domed rocker covers house a patent-pending integrated positive crankcase ventilation system that enhances oil life, reduces oil consumption and reduces exhaust emissions. The domed sections of the covers contain baffles that separate oil and air from the crankcase gases, with about three times the oil/air separation capability of previous engines.

Well like I said I'm still sold on the idea.  Anyone know if the procedure is the same on the 2019 as the 2018?

 

Wondering if the hoses are in the same place.

I installed a oil catch can on my 2019 silverado LT 5.3L from JLT performance, and after a couple hundred miles I checked it and there was oil in the catch can, not much, but a little.  I'm sure after a couple thousand miles it will be full.

I think JLT is the only one that has any pictures or videos out there.

 

Does anyone have any more different brand catch can installation photos?  I'm finding a bunch of nothing online for the 5.3 T1's

 

ADD-W1?

 

UPR?

 

Elite Engineering?

 

McNally?

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
