Makes me want to install one on the 5.0. I heard 5.0s don't have as much as the EB.

I feel like I read a lot about install difficulty and directions of valves and all that nonsense, main reason I've put it off.

Nice! We are finally starting to see customers put mileage on the catch can kit. Results have been very positive. Thank you very much for the feedback!

Enjoy!

We are working on a direct-fit setup for the GT as well.

The process is actually quite simple and well worth the time. Shoot us a PM if you need some insight or advice.

Mine is too! I didn't see your thread and should have posted here.
Maybe the mods can merge them.

Yours had more of the nasty goopy "sand" than mine!

The only part of the instal that was a PITA was getting the bottom white c-clip off of the pcv on the engine below the intake, after about 20 mins of frustration It finally broke letting the hose come off but at that point I didn't care anymore. Seeing what the catch can caught, I will never drive the car again without the can.

I'm using one too (Mishimoto). Have been since @1500 miles now at 25K.

Seeing yours and Glenns posts about a granular, sandlike substance in the bottom has me curious. I've not been getting that kind of buildup. Sure I'm catching the oil in similar quantity but not the grit.

So my first question would be what brand and weight of oil are you using?

Back in the 6.0 (diesel) days guys were seeing sandlike substances accumulate in their cooling systems. It was due to silicates in the coolant crystallizing in the EGR cooler. Obviously that's not the issue here but it does make me wonder where the "Sand" is coming from.

Seems the biggest hassle was with the PCV nonsense causing our smoke issue (since you're in the same area to install the catch can anyway).

I haven't seen any reason to believe the install is that hard. Unless you're a massive guy. All should be accessible from the top.

The installation is not as daunting as some make it seem. As long as you have a basic mechanical aptitude, you should have no issue installing this kit. Installing the hoses from under the car will make things a bit easier if you have larger hands. We estimate around 30-60 minutes for a full install. We've got an installation guide on our site that helps guide you through the process.

I'd be happy to answer any additional questions.

Interesting. I recall some of the "Sand" buildup within the 6.0L cooling system was due to poor casting process with the blocks. This would then block up heat exchangers as it passed through the cooling system.

The fluid in that can almost looks to have condensation, which is not uncommon.
