Look At What Came Out Of My Catch Can
Are you asking about one of the stock ones from an early 80's Mercedes? You did quote a message that was talking about an early 80's Mercedes oil separator that returned the oil to the crankcase. That'd be WAY more time, effort and money to install one of those vice just buying one of the MANY...- Antonm

Look At What Came Out Of My Catch Can
Mercedes had factory oil catch cans (really just the oil separator part) that returned the oil back to the crankcases (via what looked like a second dip stick tube) as far back as at least the early 80's (maybe before IDK, oldest one I've ever owned was early 80's and it had it). I can't see a...- Antonm

Oil catch cans freaking work
GDI (gasoline direct injection) engine have a unique set of conditions compared to port fuel injected engines that makes the oil catch can helpful. In a GDI engine no fuel ever goes across the intake calve, just air. But,,, that air has oil vapor from the crankcase ventilation (CCV) system, and...- Antonm

Wheel Swap
I'm in San Antonio and might be interested. Do you have some pics of the 20 inch wheels? Mine is a 23 Tahoe high country with the stock 22 inchers. Here's a quick cell phone pic as the Tahoe sits in our garage. ... -
New to me ‘21 Denali lift gate “ kick-open” quit.
The kick open hatch thing is more of a gimmick than a useful feature. We bought ours new and the salesguy was trying to show off the kick open feature and it took him like 5+ tries to get it to work. The Tahoe was sitting inside on the showroom floor and he used a lame excuse that it was the...- Antonm

Best Floor Mats
I currently have weather tech mats in four vehicles at the house, have had them in at least 10 others over the years, never once seen what you're talking about. Even posted a picture above of the two year old ones in the Tahoe (because this is a Tahoe forum), but the ones in my 2010 F250 (that... -
Best Floor Mats
Weather techs have always been good to me (no curling to speak of in any of the vehicles I've had them in). Ordered the full weather tech package,,, literally every mat they make for my particular Tahoe with second row captains seats,,, the day we brought it home. Expensive but IMHO worth it... -
Magnetic v. Air Ride - noticeable difference?
We test drove very similar vehicles back to back at the dealership, and took the same test drive route. One with air ride , one without (both 4x4 High Country trim), we bought the one with air ride. The difference is noticeable, but I wouldn't call it night-and-day , its not like the mag ride...- Antonm

C Pillar Blackout
I'd go with a wrap , that way should you later decide you don't like it, you can peel it off. Find a wrap company in your city (or a neighboring city) and go talk with them. They should be able to led you in the right direction. ... -
Thinking of selling my new 6.2L Denali...
In our society of "participation trophy's" and "safe spaces" , where all decision making a speech is dictated by the social justice warriors based off feelings rather that logic, I get that I'm the azzhole here. But arguing against ideologs is usually pointless, just like tryin to tell a member...- Antonm

Thinking of selling my new 6.2L Denali...
This thread is getting funny, dealer techs are like the national guard compared to the real miliary when it comes to actually figuring out problems or fixing root cause issues. They think they're just as good, some may even believe that, but they're really just third string /part changer...- Antonm

LOL, that's explains a lot. No wonder you type mouth breather stuff all time. Similar to lawyers, the 99% of dealer techs give a bad reputation to the 1% that actually have clue. ...- Antonm
