Get a catch can before any mods.

[08grey]

I got this jegs one mainly because I wanted a clear bowl so I can do some investigating.

I am curious to see when I get the most accumulation. Getting on it.... Highway.... City.... Ect. The clear small bowl will make me stay on top of it.

If I get allot of accumulation I will eventually get the catch can model as well.

Ive read through the whole thread and there is definitely some great info. My 08 hybrid tahoe has the dreaded white smoke often at a cold startup as well as has been burning through a good amount of oil. I've read about the bad design of the PCV valve and cleaning that thoroughly helped but it's back to doing this again after a long road trip.

Will a catchcan essentially help relieve these issues? I've thought about getting an entirely new valve cover and think they may have a redesigned one to fix the PCV problem?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have had my catch can installed for about 3000 miles and drained it for the first time this weekend and was very surprised at what I found for 2 reasons. The amount of fluid was just over a tablespoon. I was expecting more. also it looked more like gasoline than oil but it did smell more like oil than gas. Anyone else seen results similar to mine? I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not.

Truck is a 2011 Tahoe Z71 w/ a tad under 30K. 5.3L of course.

I'm collecting more than that in a week. Mine definitely resembles used oil not gas. The first week I had it on I got a milky substance at the bottom of the bowl.

6.2 with 60k.

I'm certain driving style has allot to do with it.

Posted this already, but realized wrong thread, thought it was this one.

But, I know this is NNBS section, but where are you guys putting it w/ hydro boost? Or NBS tahoe. I cant put it at that point most of you are. (on the booster) I have it where some are putting it, by the alternator, but man does it get hot there.

1 more question, do any of you hear a sucking noise now with the hose on the drivers valve? Checked and my hose is good no leaks nor are the points on the can or valve.

just picked up a 2014 Yukon Denali 6.2, this will be my first mod. I use a CC on my '11 turbo BMW and it works. -it's a no-brainer.

Just a small update.
When it's freezing I collect this creamy mucky stuff.
When it's warm out straight oil.

Kinda glad I went with the clear bowl for now. I enjoy watching what I am not throwing into the intake.

I've had my CC laying around for about 2 weeks now. Will be installing it this weekend along with a AEM intake. What do I need to purchase for the CC to install?

Has anyone ordered the 'CLEAR' catchcan from Catchcans.com? They list one but dont show a picture of it.
