    I'm confused....

    Why don't our trucks come from the factory WITH a catch can? I should have installed one a long time ago. Either way I got one now, and I highly recommend it

    It's a can that installs in the PCV system. I ran both valve covers into a T-fitting, into the catch can, and into the manifold's top vacuum port. It's sole purpose is to separate, and "catch", the oil so it doesn't get sucked through the intake manifold, across the valves and into the cylinders. YUCK!!!

    Exactly. Same reason why we have the EGR and catalytic converters. Well, some of us.
