Took a trip this week, about an eight hr. drive from start to finish going about 75 mph the whole way and this is what then end product was. Keep in mind I emptied this thing before I left because I wanted to see what it got. Is this a lot or normal, either way im happy I have it!

Holy balls! I towed my 32' trailer through the Rockies for 14 hours a couple weeks ago and combined with 1500km of other driving, got about that much. I wonder if our altitude makes us run leaner, which might generate less blow-by?

I just installed my catch can. My truck just hit 750 miles, my throttle body was still squeeky clean.

But i didnt want to wait that long to do it.

For any members who live in places where it gets very cold in winter, try to empty it then.
Its just nasty and clumpy.
Its like old milk, but black with the oil separated from the moisture in there too.

Plain old nasty. I can only imagine that passing through the throttle body and intake

I'm catch-canless, and my TB is sqeaky clean after 7500 mi. I'm still holding out for the BT sale this Fall. :)

@ KKreit01, take ur TB off and check the other side of the valve. I bet there is some oil build up.
