Does anyone use a catch can on their Hemi?

I run the Moroso cans on both my Hemi's. Summit should be cheaper then Moroso themselves.I like the Moroso can as it has dual chambers internally so you can plumb either side as in or out.As Brandon stated they're easy to install no matter what catch can you buy.

Thanks. But the website says it’s for 09-18 years, not including my ‘19. And looking at the picture, there is no way I have room to mount in that location. Not that it wouldn’t work with different mount location.

Engines are the exact same from 2011-2020. They Havnt changed the engines at all (hence lifter failure and manifold bolt problems just sayin) just the engine plastics have changed.

I didn't realize you had a 6.4,a catch can on a 6.4 would take a bunch of work,as you don't have an external PVC system like the 5.7's do.The Moroso cans mount to either the radiator support or the fender,they don't mount to the engine.In your case unless you wanted to spend a bunch of money on aftermarket or hellcat valve covers,or fabbing breather ports into you're existing valve covers,you're pretty well sol.

I bought my 2010 Ram used with 94,000 and made a 2,000 mile trip and was down a qt of oil. Didn't seem to be burning it or leaking. So found out that the PCV valve goes bad and oil gets through into the intake. So I changed the PCV and installed a Diablo catch can and have not had any more issues. P.S. I have driven another 50,000+ miles since and have gotten about 4oz of oil from the catch can since. So with that being said changing your PCV regularly would maybe make the Catch Can unnecessary, but I figure better save then sorry.

They work I run It on my big twin stroker which throws oil like it's going out of style due to high compression. Like the guy above said, you don't want oil mixed w gas hitting the plugs etc... Mucking up engine.
And they are cheap

Does anyone know if adding a catch can to a new truck will affect the new truck warranty? I would like to install one on my new 2019 Laramie.

I dumped mine out the other day. It was 80% full of nasty smelling goop. I'm glad mt engine didn't have to digest that crap.

A slight vaccumn in the crankcase helps the rings seal better,and keeps the crank seals working a bit better Scott.

Gotta love my cheering section,lol.Just for the record guys,you made my day,i had a hell'va laugh over some of these posts,especially the ones from guys who never really had anything to offer to the thread,you guys are hilarious,you'll notice everything I posted had some information in the post,lol. BTW I think some of you have me mixed up with somebody who could care less what some of you think,lol.Carry on boys and have a good day,lol
I got the same nasty troll treatment when I asked questions about my 19 procharger install.I found a friendlier ram forum where all the shills aren’t pushing their shops.

I've never had a vehicle with a catch can. I have no plans to add one. It works well enough as designed. It looks to me like a solution looking for a problem. That said, but if it keeps the inside of your engine cleaner, and there's no evidence of any downsides, and it makes you feel better, by all means get one. For me, my life is busy enough with everything else, and there's no need to complicate it.

My 30$ Cdn Ebay catch can showed up today. Like many stated the included hose is junk. Cost me another 10$ for hose and 4 SS hose clamps

I bought a knock off catch can off eBay, and it was a waste of money. All the fittings were cheap and the threads were extremely tight. Ended up buying a BT catch can. Well worth the money.
