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?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?
