yes that is true. They can be installed and removed fairly easily and quickly.
Ready for our snowstorm ?

Interesting seeing all these threads on the catch cans, and it does seem like it could be a useful device. Unfortunately in California you can’t do anything to alter the emissions system. If you have one of those installed it won’t pass visual inspection during a smog check.
You could remove and replace be fore inspection.

Yessir, I'm ready. Brand new Ariens 32" snowblower, generator (just in case) and a few cans of fuel ready to go. The Power Wagon helps too so I can get the milk and bread to make milk sandwiches lol
How about you?
Good to go. Plenty of charcoal for my outdoor grills. Gas for my Toro, fridge stocked. Might have to make a booze run.lol. If we get a sever ice storm, I am expecting to loose power. No generator though. I do have a gas fireplace for plenty of heat though.
Aproximately 12,000 miles worth. Truck is at 20,000 miles. Imagine all this run through the intake and valves

I have found that in the cold and damp weather my catch can seems to fill up a little faster. Just check it more often. Better than all that gunk going into the intake.
Just dump the can into something and screw the can back on. very quick and simple. I like to pour it in a big gatorade bottle so i can see the look of the oil. Then empty it in a oil container and get rid of it anywhere that accepts waste oil like an auto zone, walmart, etc...
Nick, im talking about cleaning the crap out that has been accumulating without the catch can. my truck doesnt have one yet. so it has had since 2014 of that crap going into intake valves etc. so once i install the CC i was wondering if i can do anything to clean the stuff thats in there. i understand how to clean what is caught in CC once installed.

An induction service helps, but without taking things apart you won't get all of it. I use the solid start stuff with the s-hose to spray in at the TB every 15k or so, but it's hard to find outside of shops that use it and finding a dealer/wholesaler. Gumout has one that's fairly popular as does Seafoam. Either one would help get some of it out of the intake. Since we're port injected you can also run something with good solvents like the Redline S1 in your tank to hit the back side of the valves. If you have alot of crud I would be ready to an oil change immediately as it's going to darken up alot. I also run a good fuel additive every couple of tanks just to help with the corn gas and keep everything clean.

Good old smoke show. Looks like a 5-alarm fire when you rev it up and clean all that gunk out.If you want to clean the intake manifold, intake runners, valves and combustion chambers; check out Seafoam.
