Absolutely!   What people are thinking is oil condensate is fuels dilution. Use a better oil, tune your engine up.  Generally only  need for blow-by capture or catch cans are racing entities who have

I saw someone in Facebook with one. I tried to get the link but he never responded. I'm interested in one too.

What do you want to know?

Threads on here about cans for other models.

Same principal on all motors IMO.

Some use them, some don't.

If I had a direct injection motor it would have a can.

Put one on my 2012 non direct injection motor.

I personally am looking for one that is a clean plug & play install that's made for my truck.

The search tool on this site sucks. go search on google and then you can find all the other threads:

"gm-trucks.com catch can"

Basically everyone that has one thinks they are the best thing ever. Yet everyone who doesn't have one is somehow still driving their truck everyday. My opinion is if it was necessary to maintain the engine until the end of the powertrain warranty period, GM would have already put on one for you. Since they don't, I don't think they are necessary.

Have you seen the gunk that thing catches? Regardless can't imagine it hurting anything if you are able to keep that crap it off your motor...

Lot of miss information here. There are bulletins and dozens of videos on this and gm knows of the issue. There are gm sold catch can systems. This statement is like saying gm knows the issues with the trans or exploding rear window but don't fix it....oh wait they do and don't fix it. Odd right. 

Even Ford is having same issues and there is a can systems. There are Government statements on oil consumption and debris build up. Gm switched the oil capacity levels after RMS failure and any performance build under boost have huge crank case vent systems, makes you wonder what the blow by numbers are. Even question why the direct injection motors have so many PCV tubes?

I can pull 1/2" of oil and water out per week.

I get the point of the catch can. I just don't know if it matters in the long run.

 

I just wonder if you were to put a collection system on the end of your tailpipe, what would that thing catch? does anybody care about the crap coming out the other side of the head, or only what goes in? Just food for thought.

To respond to that...

Garbage in garbage out. IMO any time you can get a bunch of crap out of your intake system it's never a bad thing.

I see what you are saying and that is addressed in the gm bulletin number 2. Lol

You see truck comes in gets a intake clean but the heat and debris cause O2 and cats to be destroyed then those get replaced. Unfortunately at the customer's cost at that point. There have been post on here of just that. Gm does the intake clean because it is cheap and get customer on road when still in warranty. But was the cause of the problem addressed? No. So it will happen again.
The catch cans have been common mod all the way back to the LS1.

I am working with RXP catch cans to make a system that hopefully is a "bolt on". Once i make the video of it i will share the link to the video. The owner James, we have been going back and forth trying to make it work. I have had it on the truck for 2 weeks 1800 miles, and pulled some stuff out already.

I had to have the motor rebuilt on my 14 5.3 because it was burning about a quart every 1300 miles. They ended up having to replace the intake and the heads because there was so much shit built up inside them. There's absolutely no way that it can't be helpful to get that crap out of your intake system.

Not saying anything one way or the other, this is just my experience. My 17 had 86k on it when I traded it in for my 19 about 2 weeks ago. Never had a single engine issue and it was only at the dealer once about 2 months ago for an AC issue and fixing the chime volume. I changed the oil when the DIC was showing between 10-15%, and checked the dipstic every 2 weeks or so. The dipstic NEVER read below the full mark. Unless I was a rare exception I cant see how I had any oil left between changes listening to what people are supposedly getting out of the can on a weekly basis. If you do the math I'm putting alot more miles per week on my truck than most.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
