catch can yes? or no?

[ram5.7hemi]

thoughts on catch can and does it extend the life of the truck? what exactly do they do?

truck is a 2015 ram 4x4. mostly highway miles and from now on lots of towing highway miles...probably about 20k miles towing a year or so.

I'll say- catch can enthusiasts will say: yes.
Catch can sales persons will say yes
And catch can manufacturers will say: yes
99% of all motorists willl say: what is a catch can?
Pick your poison.

I see you have over 300 posts on the forum. I cant believe you haven't seen the many, many CC posts over the time since you have joined. Do you have all your savings in popcorn stocks in the stock market and just trying to manipulate things to your favor?

 

[R.L.K.]

And from a catch can enthusiasts .... I say YES !

Check out this thread , start @ post # 1 , decide for yourself .

Since my 2004 throttle body was gummed up with junk, I didn't want that to happen on my 2014. So I got one.

Same thing I was thinkin.

But to the OP's question....no, I do not have a catch can and my ram has not exploded.

Is this the weekly new catch can thread

Dunno about longevity or if you will keep the truck long enough to matter, but it can sometimes add 2 HP and improves mpg by a few tenths as the computer doesn't have to adjust the fuel mix and timing to compensate for the extra components in the intake.

Don't waste your money.

On the flip side of things, could the extra oil in the incoming air help lubricate the engine?

I'm still debating it for me. Recently did my first tuneup on my truck and when I did some cleanup of my throttle body, it wasn't clean...so I wiped it down.

My truck is running like a champ with proper maintenance, and some tlc when it comes to the service manual and type of oil used. No issues after 4 years and no catch can. But I can see the benefits of using one after cleaning my throttle body. 30k miles and no issues whatsoever

However, when I decide to get my charger scat pack in a couple of years, I will order one, day one.

Truck name: Rampage

Definitely check out those photos like R.L.K. posted the link to, that's whats convinced me to get one. Its one of the top things on my list for my truck that Ive been needing to buy.

On another note Rzrman328, the front of your truck looks sick!

 

[TRXHemi]

I've had a 2008 up to 60K, and a 2010 ran up to 125K. My 2014 just hit 60K. I have not had a catch can on any of them....I can see the good it would do, but so far, I haven't had any issues.

Yes. But I'm just a greedy salesman that wants all your money and could care less whether the parts work or not

It's oil spray, what would be burned otherwise. That's part of where your oil disappear what you have to fill up from time to time.
And part of it condenses in the intake over time.
Does it hurt? Who knows.

 

[R.L.K.]

On my 97 Dodge 4x4 @about 165k my intake plenum was so guncked up it was unbelievable.
