What happened to Chevy, everybody's choice years ago, now they are by worst of the big 3. My neighborhood is filled w Rams, I have one my self, the rest of the neighborhood we have a couple Ford's. I have a brand new neighbor w a Chevy, I told him if he ever needs anything, his first request will be a ride to pick up that Chevy at the dealership every month, I don't mind, I'll take free dealership coffee when I go. My Ram has no lights on yet, I say give her 50k.
I’m so glad I listened to you. I did add it to my truck, I’m waiting till the three thousand miles. I’m also glad you kelp the truck, I’m going follow you on this adventure.
The debris in the bottom of the catch can is burned oil and gas particulates, which have carbonized into solids and semi-solids. It is not your engine crumbling away. No worries
That’s probably just a little hardened sludge from getting super hot and then cooling down.. it looks normal to me .. you’d fine that same stuff on your oil pan… dope truck and great channel! Keep it up!
Dude no joke about a week after you posted your video of your lifter failing and bending a pushrod my 2016 GMC sierra Denali dropped a lifter and bent a push rod and drove about 40,000 miles before it went. Took me about two days to change it myself
I had just seen this video. I'm gonna check my JLT catch can after work tomorrow and see. Has 4,000 miles since oil change. Only 24,000 miles on the 6.2. I will post on my channel. RST Rally Edition 😈😈😈. Love your channel. And the smoked tail lights are sweeeet!
The catch cans with baffles and steel whool/mesh type filters, hold metal shavings from when they were manufactured. Never heard of metal flakes being sucked up through the PCV system and into the intake. On my oldest truck for example, has 400,000+ miles and The PCV system vents directly into the air box, pre-air filter, and the PCV itself on my truck has its own separate filter. In my ancient Chrysler handbook, it states to clean the PCV filter with gasoline, and re-install during each oil change. When I did this, it had no metallic flakes on it... I'm pretty sure with the MASSIVE and EXCESSIVE abuse this engine has taken, if it was possible to suck metal shavings into the PCV system, this vehicle would have demonstrated that, and it did not. lol
I forgot to mention I put all about 250 miles a week on my vehicle And my condensator Fancy word for catch can Fills with a Water down oil substance tan in color in the Cold winter months. This is going to happen So you must check the can on a regular basis Or you will suck that Water oil mixture into the intake.
I have a 17 Silverado, and I installed an oil catch can on my a long time ago. It does its job, sometimes when i empty mine, it has a little sludge at the bottom.
Looks like the oil catch can has some coking “Coke” is the solid residue remaining when oils undergo severe oxidative and thermal breakdown at extreme engine temperatures.
A damn shame on a brand new truck, especially the cost of these, your not taking $18k Hyundai, $60+ for a truck, it costs more than a Benze it should behave better, not that Mercedes is known for being trouble free
2019 TB My JLT can hasn't had any gritty junk in it . I've dumped it twice now and it appeared to be mostly oil and a little bit of water (which is probably condensation of temp). I'm extremely happy with the JLT can
All that crap is unnecessary. I’ve got an 08 z71 5.3 that had 371k when we tore it down to delete it and swap cams. Only thing that showed significant wear was the cam bearings. Rods and mains looked good and crank measured right to spec. All that little shitty can is gna do it make a person nervous about what’s in it. Just run and drive it. At 371k my 5.3 still ran and held good oil pressure. Yes it was low on power but still ran and drove just fine.
08 wasn't direct injection. The new ones are, and that's why people are putting the cans on them now. Bad sludge buildup on the intake valves over time.
@@adamedwards4305 well I’ve got a 15 6.2 high country and a 15 Denali xl 6.2 and both of em dropped lifters and bent pushrods one at 92 and the other at 97k miles. I made sure I was there when they pulled the intake and heads off for each one and there wasn’t sludge build up on either one. Both engines were clean as they could be
I have the 3.0 on my 2019 Silverado 5.3. I have 23,000 miles as of today it's catching 2.5 ounces at every 6000 mile oil changes I think I only had 2 changes since I've installed it. on the JLT site they sell a 3 ounce extension cup to increase the capacity to 6 ounces. I only use synthetic oil and super unleaded fuel and every 4000 miles a bottle of Lucas oil fuel system cleaner. Keep the truck it's under warranty, you can still buy the extended warranty, I bought it after 6 months or 10 I can't remember, $3200.00 i think. You should install a STILLEN cold air scoop it replaces the lattice style air intake grill that supplies the air for the intake tube to your new cold air intake system airbox. Then you will have a true cold air system. I swear It gives my truck a noticeable increase in throttle response.
I have a 2019 Ford F-150 Roush, with 27K miles, and your truck had twice as much in your JLT catch can in 3K miles as mine had in 5K miles of mountain driving. I’d definitely keep an eye on your motor. And, if you plan on having it over 3 years, you may want to look into a GM extended warranty online.
Bought my '14 Silverado with 89k on it and installed a cc on it. Never any gritty stuff, but would be more than full if I waited 3k to check it. I wonder what my intake valves look like...
Thats carbon in your catch can . Its doing whats its designed to do . Also i recommend checking your catch can more often . Sometimes you will go 3k miles and not have anything and sometimes you will have half full in just 1k miles . There is just no way to predict at what interval that can should be checked and its the reason why manufacturers arent installing it themselves. Driving habits , driving conditions and weather all effect how much your can will catch . In colder weather you will get more because of condesation for example . I made it a habbit to check mine every fill up at the gas station . My buddy checked his at 2k miles and it was full to the brim , god knows how many miles he was driving and sucking straight oil and gunk back into the intake . Check it every fill up and you will see how much it varies . Imagine if manufacturers explained why there is an oil catch can now and why it needs to be checked eveery fill up ? No one would by their vehicle
Who ever buys that truck after you turn it in to buy a new one , they are going to be piss when they find these videos . Lol . Sucks to see this tho man !
Any reason why JLT doesn't have this on their site any longer? I went to purchase this and I get a 404 error. post a link if you know where I can purchase the same part. Thanks in advance
Hi I installed catch cans on both banks. (2004 Tahoe). At oil changes I have 1/8 cup in drivers side can, while passenger side is bone dry. What does this mean?
Its carbon that was trapped in the can Instead of going back into the motor. In other words the catch can is doing it's job. If you put 1 of these on And you live in cold climates It will feel much faster Then Warmer climates be cause it collects water as well So you will have to check it weekly depends on the amount of miles You put on your vehicle.
just wondering did u have the oil catch can on your motor when the lifters took a shit and if so did the dealership give u hell for having it on thanks
This is NOT the GM we grew up with ..Recall coming mid March for drive shafts Tahoe Yukon Suburban Escalades..Class action lawsuit in Michigan for 2021 lifters..GM should have never been bailed out..
The 6.2's have been a disaster also. They should have stuck w the 5.7L 350, tried and true and w today's tech you would be able to get some bang for your buck, less maintenance bucks to
I’ve watched a few videos from different people and someone had a really bad leak on the short hose. He had a 5.3, so I’m wondering if you experienced any leaks (vacuum leak).
Yea cause loanstar hawain garage on RU-vid having a hard time with his catch can on his 5.3 trail boss and can’t get it to stop hissing. How is yours working out?
It's a new engine it will clean up over time, mine has fine metal shavings in it and also what you have at the bottom, the engine is still breaking in, also don't forget to change trans fluid at 30,000 miles, or boom!
Well it catches, but show me intake valves before and after. No one was able to show it because they don't do anything except give a can full of condensation
Yoooo! What was the percentage your oil was at when you changed it I have a GMC Sierra at4 and it’s over 60% at a little over 3K miles ! It doesn’t say it needs to be changed but I’m not sure when to take it in :(
@@jasoncentore1830 Looks like the person hat owned the truck before I did treated it like trash. I take good care of it though. I just replaced the valve seals and it is not collecting so much oil in the can. You are right though, for whatever reason this generation truck engine just did not hold up that well.
That crap is going straight in to your intire Cold air intake turbins valves pistins and rings mixing with your very expensive air fuel ratio metering to give you the best and cleanest burn posible. For 1. Hp 2. Low carbon build up. Carbon very bad for the life expectancy of the engine and components. 3. Emisions. That equils three fails right there.
PS the can was so full that the liquid crud was probably acting like a siphon and being sucked right back into your engine you need a much larger can my friend and have it placed low with a better way to empty it. Remember liquid runs downhill. I use 1" id hose Taking care not kink the line or restrict the air flow. That also requires your catch can to have 1' od in and out tubing for the ports on the can.👍
You really need a translation on what that gunk is in your new truck...it says get a ford...I'm biased I have a 2000 bought in 99 f250 450k just minor issues...
Buy a lot of rags, you will be bringing that back to the dealer often. I'd be pissed, it's sad that old cars didn't have these problems, today you get a problem on your way home from the dealership
I believe it’s just been the 5.3 and 6.2 built before March 2021. I’m not 100% sure tho. IMO I believe any vehicle with AFM or DFM installed is in danger of having issues at some point. If it was me I would install a Range AFM/DFM delete on your truck if you can.
@@Cooldibs, when you do an oil analysis and learn something that gm doesn't want you know. You not just going to change your oil every 3k, you going use best motor oil money can buy.
Completely agree. Best thing to do is not buy GMs garbage in the first place. I mean damn, how many years now are we going to see this exact same problem, and keep buying this bs lmao
That’s nothing! GM says 1 quart after 3k miles. My supercharged 6.2 would push a lot more than that. Did 700hp at the tire. You should be happy that’s all you got after 3k. Perfectly normal
