I have seen you all talking about the catch can and do you guys recommend it and will I have a problem with the dealer as far as the warranty is concerned when it goes back for a oil change
Sorry, this one is better...The best can on the market (all others re copy-cats) is Billet Technologies
While legally true, when stating this remember it comes down to a lawyer fight and usually they have more money than we do for that....Your warranty can NOT be voided for this, or nearly anything else. Contrary to most conspiracy theorists. (Google search: Magnussen-Moss Act)
Hey, those look like really nice units! A few of concerns I have about them however: 1- "poly" check valves = plastic; 2- check valves, period = to many moving parts for what essentially should b a passive component; 3- plastic inlet/outlet connections (a real deal breaker for me). Not to mention the price (3x Billet Tech!), AND that they are GM application only. Plus, they appear to be ENORMOUS (unnecessarily so).Sorry, this one is better...
Plus it's sold by two of our supporting vendors here on the forum.
RX Catch Can w/ Dual Check Valve
I guess the fortitude of one's spine has a little to do with it... ;-)While legally true, when stating this remember it comes down to a lawyer fight and usually they have more money than we do for that....

With all due respect, being a forum vendor bears no weight in my decisions. The B.T. cans mount easier (smaller too) and work well with the Ford EB engine.
Who goes to the dealer for an oil change!?!?!?I have seen you all talking about the catch can and do you guys recommend it and will I have a problem with the dealer as far as the warranty is concerned when it goes back for a oil change
Quoted for truth!Who goes to the dealer for an oil change!?!?!?
Amen!Who goes to the dealer for an oil change!?!?!?
Not me, not in 45 years of driving. I have done them all, even back when I used to do it on 3K miles cycles. I've just heard too many horror stories. I would rather make sure it gets done right.Who goes to the dealer for an oil change!?!?!?
However, I work at a dealer. And we see even more cars coming in from other shops banged up. Id go to dealer only. Or do it myself.Amen!
I've always done my own. However with the truck new and this engine known to have the oil creation/cac issues, I take it in through the warranty power train warranty.Who goes to the dealer for an oil change!?!?!?
High idle...Do you give the truck a chance to come out of high idle before you throw it in gear?I've always done my own. However with the truck new and this engine known to have the oil creation/cac issues, I take it in through the warranty power train warranty.
If you've ever read my posts you know I hate dealerships and have had big issues with most in my area. The guy I bought the truck from is 3.5 hours away. Receipts and computer records validating my changes will go a long way with the assholes I have to put up with down here.
Example: took my truck in for a change at covert ford in hutto tx. Told the manager if like to get some issues on the books after explaining how vw ripped me off and refused to look at things they hadn't got to work after the warranty expired, even though the work was started within warranty.
After explaining that my truck has a high idle at start and the truck shoots out of my driveway even after I step on the brake and put it in gear, he gives me some bullshit about how drive by wire works and it's prolly different from my old vehicles. ???? Interesting because my 04 dodge and 06 Jetta and 04 f150, 08 f150 and 05 f250 were drive by wire and when I step on the brake they drop the high idle to allow me to shift instead of engaging reverse at high idle causing me to jut out of the driveway.
So if I can say this truck has only been to you, you better fix this crap now.
^^^^ This ^^^^Give the truck 30-60 seconds to warm up before you rush out of your driveway.
Negative, I shouldn't have to. Haven't with any vehicle I've ever owned that wasn't a diesel. I should be able to start the truck, put my foot on the brake and put the truck in gear. You start the truck it revs up to 1200-1500 rpm and hangs there. Every other drive by wire cuts the rpm when you press on the brake at startup.^^^^ This ^^^^
I agree w/vendors....but still need to support the good ones or there will be no way to have a forum for free.Hey, those look like really nice units!
