Quick update. Just emptied the can today. I don’t think I’m quite at 500 miles since the install and already poured this much out of the can[emoji15]

I thought we squashed are beef but it looks like you want to continue it. That’s fine with me. 

Hey looks like you guys did make up and all is good. He went from being a bully to now your biggest fan! He is literally cheering for you!!!!!! He is now your personal cheerleader!!! I used to have those when my kids were younger and when I first started dating my now called wife. Now all I have are a bunch of so-called people who love me but troll and bully me 24/7. So enjoy this time before the honeymoon is over!

 

On a side note...Joe I may need just the CSS for a 2018 6.2L. It's currently running just your single catch can. He has a K&N CAI.

Installed my UPR single valve can today.  Easy install, took me just over an hour, but folks with more time under the hood than me can do it in half the time.

I PM’d Joe and he set me up with the kit deal for $219.  Excellent deal, and the shipping was pretty quick, no duty was a bonus.  Joe and the team at UPR were great to deal with.

I’ve got a 2018 5.3 with 9K on it, there was no noticable oil in the OEM line.  Interested to see how much is there after a couple of weeks.

Will this void any warranties

 I believe that depends on the issue. If the dealership can prove that the catch can caused or was related to the issue or failure then yes. I don’t believe they can void your entire power train warranty because of a catch can. I’m sure there are dealerships out there that would try though. This is just what I’ve gathered from having the same question so please don’t take this as a for sure yes or no. May need to ask your dealer.

 

I just installed long tubes and had the truck tuned so I’m definitely rolling the dice. My truck is a 2015 but my powertrain is not up until Aug 2020. [emoji1694]

Just yank it out before taking it to the dealer...or better yet, don't ever go to the dealer.

About to order mine up today! Have a set of longtubes on the way so might as well get a catch can on my truck at the same time.

Received my kit in the mail today. Wow that was fast. Might get around to installing tonight to see what I can collect over the weekend. Thank you @Joe@UPRproducts for having someone reach out to me. Good piece of mind with the upgrades I have coming soon!

I'm just going to piggy back on this thread as I too utilized the deal Joe put out to the Forum. Spoke with "Steve" several times prior to Joe's offer as I tried to decide which route to take. He spent a good deal of time answering my many questions and in the end, they got my business. As has been stated, a very simple install, well made and shipping was very fast but I live Fla. so it didn't have to travel very far. 

 

Here's a finished install pic.

I have a question for UPR , in the single valve set up, there is a check valve in line to the pcv port. Why is the check valve needed and can it be removed, as I believe there is a check valve in the pcv valve from the factory? The 6.2l I believe there is a check valve in the pcv that you plug into. I'm not sure about the 5.3 but I would think it is the same.

Ok I'm sold. I'm at 50k and no catch can. I thought with the AFM disabler I'd be safe but never really put much thought into the GDI issue.  Is the special still going on?

Single valve CC is still $199. Comes with check valve built in, braided lines, etc.

AFM disabling doesn't change anything with needing a catch can.. About to empty mine later I will post the results. I have about 500-1000 miles on mine

      Whirring when accelerating at 1100 rpms 2022 LTZ 5.3

      By SteveP45 · Posted

      Idler Pulley… from what I understand GM and Chevy trucks no longer have an idler pulley.. they stretch belts for both belts… I had mine replaced by my local mechanic last year on my Chevy Silverado 5.3 z71 LT.   They have discontinued using them on 2019 through 2026 as of a Google search.

      Whirring when accelerating at 1100 rpms 2022 LTZ 5.3

      By Fatboy2V-rod · Posted

      Good morning! I have a whirring sound coming from the engine or transmission area when driving w/o towing when I accelerate at 1100 rpm’s. That’s how it started. Yesterday it was more obvious while towing a U-Haul even when not accelerating at 70 mph. I could see where it may have been possibly shifting gears due to a slight grade and the intermittent rpm changes as the transmission was possibly lowering the gear down. It was making the sound multiple times but it is not constant. I replaced the serpentine belt and idler pulley but no change. It only does it when I’m driving. No noise accelerating while in park. Just started @ 53,000 miles. It’s not always there though. Unfortunately, I feel it may be transmission related. Any thoughts or knowledge about the 2022 tranny that anyone can share. I have 2500 miles left on my p-train warranty. Thanks to all for any help!

      RAIN. It's dumping buckets. We needed it. What a welcome change...sitting here listening to it pour with my office window open.   Ok, not too much. It's not even September yet, we're not finished with summer yet....

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If you have actually done it, there must be some secret tool or method of accessing the hidden bolt head that both manifold connections have. Two of the three bolt heads are staring at you in the face from below but the third one is covered by shielding and as far as I know only accessed by removing part of the fender well lining to gain access to it and even then its awful to access or from what I had seen of someone fighting with it on a video.    There is a reason why even mechanics that deal with the awkward or risky business of undoing the exhaust at the manifolds have done the same method others are doing with these L8T by flexing the exhaust if need be or just able to slip the pan out as I did without needing to touch hardware or pry on the exhaust. By rights the two seals should be replace when those joints are cracked loose as well.

      Actually it was a lot more controlled then I thought it might be and that isn't actually when I spilled some oil. I had thought prior of rounding up a couple of longer bolts with the same thread to swap out for a couple of the front edge pan bolts and then leaving one bolt left in the back but loosened off and then using a suction device to remove most of the fluid, that certainly would have worked and while I do have a couple of different devices I could have used to suck the fluid, now having done the job once I wouldn't even bother. I had thought of buying one of those pressurized vessels to suck or new fluid in and would if I was doing a job like this on a few vehicles but with one vehicle I just didn't bother and I have pail pumps as well I could have used assuming the hose end would fit into that less than roomy space but being such a thin fluid it pumped well with a quart type pump and just kept the hose into the trans and kept swapping containers and repeat.    What I would change to the method I did though was first jack up just the rear of the truck to put on jack stands to allow more oil to come out of the check plug on the front of the pan ( and as I did, I made sure to put that drain plug back in finger tight ) then follow through by putting the front on jack stands. Also that I would have used a larger sized drain pan in the sense of covering an area wider/longer beyond the transmission but I didn't have one and saw someone else on a youtube video using a masonry mud mixing tub and bought one at a hardware store to use in the future. The main oopsy  I did and why I spilled some oil was all my fault as I neglected to follow my own plan, I should have let down the pan as I did to drain out the front of it as much as would come out but then scooped out the remainder of the oil with the Dixie cup I had sitting there just for that purpose as by that point there is enough room to reach right into the front of the pan and just bail it out basically.
