Anyone use this catch can?

Rlaf75 · Mar 31, 2022

I was scouring american trucks website and came across this catch can. It seems like it's an easy install and reasonably priced. Anyone have any experience with this? https://www.americantrucks.com/jlt-ram1500-v30-black-oil-separator-passenger-side-3067p-b.html

Billet performance is the popular catch can, or at least it used to be.

Only because of the marketing that promoted it,there's better catch cans out there then the billet tech can,Moroso / JLT / Mishimoto all have better cans then the billet tech can.

I got the UPR catch can from @Nick@GotExhaust check him out ...

I have the Moroso with the easy drain ball valve...takes about 30 seconds once a month to drain. (I could let it go much longer, but I'm always tinkering under the hood anyway)

I use that one, got it from the same place too, works great, no complaints. I did have to modify the hose on one end, but that was only because I have etorque.

Not sure what you mean by better.

the 20$ Amazon Catch Can does the exact same thing... lol... Save your money for real upgrades

I had the Billet Tech sister companies brand on my 2009 HEMI

If i were to install another Air/Oil Separator, (that is the real name for a Catch Can).
I would install one that had a drain valve with a hose fitting on the bottom of it.
If it also had a sight tube built into it, might be nice, but then it might look like adding clutter

No drain valve,overpriced for what you get.The marketing on billet techs stuff is amazing,and lots of people fall for it,lol.Try unscrewing the botton on a billet can in the winter when it's collecting alot of condensation

DILLIGAF · Mar 31, 2022

That reminds me, I got to drill and tap a hole for a drain valve this year on mine. I have forgotten 3 years in a row. lol...

What do you consider winter ,lol.

smoothee · Mar 31, 2022

Yeah my BT can has been tough to unscrew at times and a drain would be handy, but it matches my underhood kit at least lol

Welp, I ordered the one from the American Trucks website that I linked in the original post on late Wednesday night/ Thursday morning and it arrived friday afternoon. Seems like a nice product. I had time today to install it. It only took about 10 minutes to get it installed. Easy peasy. I took the original stock plastic hose off and I could tell oil has been making its way through it so if this catch can catches anything it will be worth it rather than letting the motor burn it up.

All catch cans are not created equal. We offer several brands but I recommendation is UPR.

UPR 09-21 Dodge Ram 5.7L Billet Oil Catch Can Z Mount

Got Exhaust - Freedom Motorsports provides all manner of aftermarket automotive products for Ford F150, Ram, TRX, Tacoma, Silverado, Tahoe, Yukon

freedommotorsports.com

Their cans are the best out there and they offer several add on options as well as colors. UPR is what I run on my personal vehicles.

Besides cost and the way they mount what exactly is different?

Anyone use this catch can?
