Elite E2000 catch can install on 2020 Sierra 6.2

[2020SierraDenali]

Finally got around to installing the E2000 can on the truck. Pretty straightforward. Looks nice overall, but a couple things that wasn't pleasing was that somehow the clamp didn't hold the can tight. And the clamp bolt was very tight. Hit a bump and the can would slide down.  I removed the can then wrapped a single piece of electrical tape around the can top and then mounted the can into the clamp. Problem solved. I could have bent the clamp a tad to get it out of round a bit to reduce clearance, but didn't want to risk screwing it up too badly. 

 

I posted in another thread mistakenly in the 2014-2019 Sierra section about the E2000 catch can. So I brought it over here where it should be.

 

There was just a minimal amount of oil in the intake and PCV tube. I cleaned that up best I could, but we'll see how it holds out.

 

The other thing was how close it was to the oil fill cap. So I bent the "L" bracket slightly to give the can more clearance around that fill cap. Again, problem solved. The factory style clips and AN fittings made it super simple to connect. I still need to re-orient the can a little better about 180 degrees and get the hoses a bit neater. I was just trying to get it not to fall at this point, and when I took the picture I realized I can do a bit better with the aesthetics part of this.

 

I put my PCV "return to stock in about 5 minutes" kit in a bag, then put that in the storage bin under the back seat. It consists of the original PCV pipe, 7 mm socket (for the air cleaner clamps), 10 mm socket, 7/16" socket and 7/16" wrench, and a small ratchet handle with an extension.

 

For those that installed a catch can on their 6.2 and can't recall where they put the original PCV tube, in case you need one, you can buy a new one from GM for around 10 bucks. P/N 12665065.

How do you like it? I am teetering between the E2 and RX. I know the RX costs more, I'm just not sure if it's worth it. When I first looked under the hood, the first thing i thought was where to locate a can. How hard do you think it will be to empty? How many miles did you have on the truck when you installed the can?

A little over 300 miles on it when I did it. It shouldn't be difficult to empty. Like I said, I did bend the bracket slightly to give more clearance to the oil fill cap. Didn't like it being that close for no reason. I did a test removal to ensure it would be efficient enough to remove. And it is.
