2019+ Ram 1500 Catch Can Install (Billet Technologies)

[@michaelclark8967]

Nice job with the video! I am going to add one to my 2019. Never knew about this issue until seeing it on the 5th Gen Rams Forum.

[@robb.177]

Best install video for a catch can I’ve come across. Thanks!

[@IamChucky_]

I’m going with an eBay oil catch can. Literally the same thing as these more expensive ones ie billet, mishimoto. All I gotta do is just buy new hoses from the auto parts store and done 😎 thanks for the installation video.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I would do some research first on the one you buy though. Some of the cheaper catch cans don’t have any sort of baffle in the top part of them, so if you get a smaller catch can and it has no baffle then starts filling up with oil, the intake could potentially suck some of that oil into the intake. Just my .02. Good luck with install!

[@IamChucky_]

Tony The Truck Guy yeah I been researching them for a week now lol boosted motorsports installed one on his ram and there’s another video I’ve seen with a side by side comparison of a mishimoto vs eBay and it’s literally identical.

[@bossstrick]

Also billet tech says either fitting on the catch can is in OR out so really doesn’t matter. Whatever route the supplied line flows best is what I went with. My charger is completely opposite of my ram and both function fine.

[@bossstrick]

Hey tony I think that spare fitting was for the pcv end. You took the rubber boot off and pushed the line right onto it. I’m thinking the rubber boot stays like the other other line up front.

[@PhOeNiXpIoLe]

The z bracket is such a janky set up in my opinion, moves not matter how tight you make the bolt, I decided to go with the Mishimoto

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah, it is a long bracket with a lot of leverage for that little bolt. Like you said, I was able to always move the bracket if I really wanted to, but that being said, it never moved around when I didn't want it to. I was going to go with the Mishimoto as well, but I had the Corsa CAI going on and I don't think I was able to run both.

[@cedrichargett5363]

Will A oil catch can causes your engine to misfire? And your check engine light come on ?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Nope

[@undagroundrican]

Is a catch can recommended for a 2019 ram 1500 V6? I see them all the time for older rams or 5.7 hemi's. Thanks.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Engine isn’t going to explode without it, but I like a catch can on any vehicle I plan to own for a long time just to keep the intake from getting gummed up. I’ll probably put one on my v6 Grand Cherokee in the spring.

[@undagroundrican]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. Unfortunately I didn't step up to the big dog 5.7 Hemi. I was more concerned about saving some money at the pump. Pretty content with the V6 but nowhere on KZbin or on the forums do I see anyone installing one of these on a V6 model 5th gen Ram. Probably still going to install one though doesn't hurt.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@undagroundrican I feel like you don’t see them as much just because the v6 guys aren’t typically as “performance oriented”. There’s a few videos for the classic body style on v6 catch cans, but I’m guessing you have new body style.

[@LillyCocoBean]

Can you do an update video of your experiences since installing the catch can? I’m thinking about getting one for my 2019 Rebel. Thanks! Really good video.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Here’s a video of me emptying it out during my oil change. I’m about to change oil again and will check it again - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp_SmKiYgb6to5o

[@idontcaresapo8233]

My friend is a moose mechanic for 12 years now and he’s my mechanic for whatever I need aftermarket stuff. I así him about this cans and he said that they are gimmick. He said that every 60 milles he recommended a fuel injection cleaner with pressure and that shone enough to remove carbon and oil deposits from the piston and everything. He also said that new engines are very good at burning all that left over.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

They’re definitely not a gimmick. Catch cams stop all the oil from going back into your intake manifold and fuel injector cleaner can’t touch the manifold haha. I’m not saying an engine will blow up without it, or that you should go and spend $500 on one, but if you plan to keep a vehicle for a while then I’d recommend a cheap catch can for longevity, especially on boosted applications.

[@idontcaresapo8233]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy hemis 5.7 too?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@idontcaresapo8233 Any engine that has crankcase vapors vented back to the intake.

[@sanluisace]

Does this product fits 2021 ecodiesel?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

No this one is designed for the hemi, but there are some made for the eco diesel

[@patrickhughes1879]

How are you getting 20.1 mpg? Is that since the air filter change?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Averaged 40-60 mph during that 160 mile trip. You get a lot better mpg when not going 80 and when using cruise control haha

[@tesla_3_performance]

I bought mirror mittens and fold them in; haven't had any more bird poop attacks since

[@raydevil-316]

I was wondering if you know the length of both of the hoses. I have a same billet catch can that I had on my charger and was hoping the hose I have is going to be long enough.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

The one that goes from the catch can to the intake under the throttle body measures about 9” the best I can measure it while on the truck with a tape measure, I think 8” would be enough. The longer one is about 22” but I think you could make it work with about 18”.

[@raydevil-316]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy Thanks.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@raydevil-316 No problem. You should report back if it works in case anyone else asks haha

[@raydevil-316]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy I will try to install my catch can tomorrow but my longest hose left over from my Charger 392 is 16-1/2 inches. From your video you had that extra fitting but then you corrected it with the fitting so from that fitting to the catch can is 18"

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@raydevil-316 Right. Sounds like you may have to get a longer hose from the auto parts store or online possibly

[@Nashorn95]

It’s interesting that there is no steel wool in the can to better catch the droplets.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

It has a brass filtration thingy on the top part haha

[@tpike46w]

the hoses on the catchcan wouldnt rub if u change them up, front to front , back to back. doesnt matter what way they go

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You would think. But when directions say to do something a particular way, I do it lol. Don’t have any issues with rubbing the way I have it set up.

[@ahmadkamali8547]

PCV vents gas whoch usually carries a hot oil steem along with which lubricats valves movement thrue the guides as well as a pistons lubrication.. Using catch can makes the above runs dry and brakes soon

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Hah, we will see about that. Old cars never had a PCV line running back to the intake. The valves and rockers still get plenty of lube from under the valve covers. This should literally have no affect.

[@EverydayJ1786]

Intake valves actually get constantly cleaned and lubricated by fuel spraying directly on them from the port injector . Imo catch cans are really only needed on gasoline direct injected engines where fuel does not ever touch the intake valve .There's no way PCV vapour will gum up the throttle body when it enters the intake after the throttle body .

[@TheSuperhoitin]

@@EverydayJ1786 so is hemi v8 direct injection ?

[@EverydayJ1786]

@@TheSuperhoitin no the Hemi is not direct injected !

[@WhalerGA]

@@EverydayJ1786 Sure it will. The oil does not burn cleanly when it enters the intake. It can leave carbon deposits and other gunk. It is much worse on direct-injected engines, but there is no harm in preventing it on regular port-injected engines.

[@ExiledtoVampa]

Is that an S&B intake you have?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Corsa. Was going to get S&B, but my catch can wouldn’t work with it.

[@ExiledtoVampa]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy that's a bummer because I'm about to get a 5th gen and really like the S&B but I already have a catch can from my 4th gen

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@ExiledtoVampa Yeah the S&B is just so huge. In hindsight, I would just put a K&N or other high flow drop-in filter in the factory air box. Best bang for the buck. You don’t even really get any more intake noise out of these because the cabins are so insulated and noise cancellation.

[@devinameer-beg3294]

Dose anyone know if the mishimoto ones fit the 2019 classic 1500 ? Old body style

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I would email them to find out. The 2019 no longer has a mechanical engine fan, and the Mishimoto bolts to the fan shroud. The trucks may have different fan shrouds.
