Eh?

This thing just a vent to a can?
This is similiar to the other pcv cap i posted a week or so back,but i think it might be a bit better quality as it uses threaded ports that you can use -6 or -8 AN fittings on,or else use their threaded n i p p l e that uses a slide on hose.

Maybe if that feller searched our forum for the contents of some of these cans that members have posted , it may change his opinion.

But ,most likely has his mind made up and that’s it.

I think colder climates tend to generate more gunk, as I am in south Florida and do not get a lot to drain, during oil changes. However most I’ve seen from cold climates produce lots of goooo that I would not want back into the manifold.

I swapped to a new 6.4 intake at about 28,000 miles , the original 5.7 intake that I added a catch can to with less than 1,000 miles still was very clean inside.

I will be picking up one of these new pcv replacements now, glad I did not get the one posted from last week. Thanks for the update wild one .

Mighty Mouse apparently even has a catch can with a built in PCV,but it's not exactly cheap.
There's even some fancy pics and charts here to peruse

I think if i wasn't using their can with a built in PCV valve,i'd probably use their nipple fitting and adapt something like this old school pcv valve into the hose to the can.

Hey - those not made of Chineseum! I might call them up to see if they work with 6.4 Ram. Wish they had something for visual level of contaminants.

They show it on a 6.4 truck intake Brian. I knew nothing about this one till a guy on one of the Ram facebook pages posted a bit of a write up on installing a catch can using this pcv adapter on his 6.4 a day or so ago.

The truck 6.4 intake is the only factory composite intake manifold with the pcv at the front of the manifold,the car 6.4 /truck and car 5.7 intakes have the pcv port towards the back of the manifold. You can tell this is a truck 6.4 intake as the pcv is basically inline and slightly ahead of the oil fill tube on the other side of the intake.There's more differances between the truck 6.4 and truck 5.7 intakes,but for this discussion we're only referancing the pcv port /valve

Cool, thanks. They wrote back but I think I'll call them Monday to be sure this will fit and has a valve in it somewhere. I didn't see a drain valve either.

Their catch cans are definitely the high end of the scale.Keep us updated on it if you spring for their complete set-up

Looks like I missed the entertainment. I posted it on the FB group last week and I was waiting until I got to my computer to post it on here but got sick and had a long weekend.

Anyhow, the can is supposedly self regulating and even though it was pricey, since he went through the trouble of getting that adapter to market, a very nice piece, I figured I would purchase his ecosystem of parts. The adapter fit very nicely but when I was kicking around if I wanted to spend that much, if I was going to cheap out, I would've used my old billet specialties can with an inline PCV like mentioned above. There is also a viewport on the side of the can though in this position, it is kind of hard to see. I am not complaining though, I have been waiting 4 years to put a catch can on this engine, I am just happy it finally happened.

I'm confused - what is it we are looking at? Two different cans?

What do you mean by "self-regulating"? I don't recall reading this about MM can.

You are looking at the internals of the Gen 6 PCV style catch can from Mighty Mouse. There is mesh in the bottom and then the shiny billet aluminum piece (which also has some mesh and a screen at the top) sits in on top of the mesh in the bottom of the can. There are at least two different styles of the top shiny billet aluminum piece, Cyclone (Race), and Revolution (PCV). Then you can configure the top lid in multiple different ways as well, depending on your application and what you're trying to achieve.

Ah...........ok, I wrote them and they did not mention their Gen 6 as a solution for the 6.4L Hemi. I will have to call them and ask what they are talking about. I told them I don't have a race motor, unlike *ahem* some of us.

I definitely do not either. I purchased the Ram Gen 4/5 Hemi Mild kit (which includes the Gen 6 PCV can), then the Adapter piece w/ -8AN fittings, and then you need (2) more -8AN x pushlock fittings - the kit includes two fittings but you need four total for the 6.4 manifold.
