Bought same type off ebay. Had a hose included, which is too light+flimsy, so bought proper hose from auto shop. I used a bit of steel wool like you, *but* I added a square steel-wool scrubbing pad, inserted vertically in can, between in and outlet, as an extra filter. It didn't reduce vacuum, which is good
Greetings from Levy, Ar., all is well in our neck of the woods here. Fantastic seg on the douse-bag catcher; a little bit of an induced purging of a system is always a sign of gratitude towards the Good Lord's bounty, both from a personal purging or a mechanical purge. My dad taught me and my waterheaded brothers a lot of things but never was purging of any kind involved. Especially when dad showed everyone the fine art of Charter 10 straight out of the bottle. Thanks for the heart-to-heart Super Dan, we consider this seg as an intervention of the soul; as we reflect the light of life back to our good friend Mr. Jeep. P.S. What a wonderful family you have there Super D. Your kiddos just radiate the joy and splendor of Christ. You and momma D are doing a great job holding down the fort up there, carry on and here out.
Great job. I installed the oil catch can in my Jeep xj. I noticed the oil pressure suffering moving up as normal. I installed the rear elbow to IN and OUT to the manifold.
Catch cans are needed if you have worn piston rings and there’s lots of blow by. If you have good compression in the cylinders and you maintain your engine with regular oil changes not so much but it can’t hurt. With direct injection you need a catch can no matter what.
on the outside it is identical to mine, but inside it is different in that mine has a metal piece with holes to collect the oil and mine came with good quality hoses and hose clamps
Nice job Dano.I have had the catch can on my 4.7L for a couple years now.It is amazing just how much oil it catches.I just zip tied mine to the a/c line going to the accumulator.Merry Christmas Project Dan H and family.God Bless.....
I have recently installed a noname catch can on my ZJ. Finish is apparently nice but be careful. On mine, the reservoir o-ring groove just below the threads is machined too deep or maybe the o-ring is too thin, resulting in possible vacuum leakage because the metal to metal sealing may be inefficient. I solved the problem by installing a slightly fatter o-ring. Good finish doesn't mean "quality" ☺️
That is a crazy amount of oil being caught. I just got a Evil Energy oil catch can same one but they included a nice hose and an aluminum bracket. I’m going to install one in my XJ and a Highlander. Good video
That catch can looks like a good idea. I wonder what the story was on that Uhaul? Congrats on award. Hope you and the family have a wonderful holiday and New Year.
Thanks for sharing! And congrats on your beautiful family...and the award :) I'm ordering my catch can today. Can't stand the thought of that gunk going through my intake. Yuck! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
That’s so much oil!!! I’m curious how much my Jeep would collect cause I know I have a good amount of blow by but I think my rings are starting to go soooo that’s another issue haha
Been think of doing a can on my commander, may need to get it done. I have been getting a lot of misfire and looked at the sparkplugs that are in it from when I bought it and they are pretty bad. I would like to find a catch can someplace other than amazon, I have not used them for a number of years. Nice family award there, nice idea of the church. Stay safe and have a great Christmas.
Thank you brother! Yes I highly recommend I catch can.. not sure who else would sell them besides eBay. The UPR catch can on my commander is really nice but it was designed for a Dodge ram. whichever route you choose to go make sure the one you buy has a good baffle and filter system. 👍
🤣🤣🤣 I endeavor to read and reply to every single comment. Loving the ones I've read ( Even my own) gives me a quick visual when I scroll to ensure that no one is left out ♥️✔️
Should have went home and grabbed the General and pull out that U-haul 🤣 Great catch can video Dan as I was just thinking I would bet hell do one on the WJ and here we go guys $25 catch can install 👍
Thanks Dan, looking forward to a follow up video on this ,The 4.7 seems to have more blowby-condensate sludge in the winter also. Which is when you need the catch can the most. I'm definitely gonna put one on my 03 WJ Overland, although I'll need to get it closer to the engine to prevent freezing in the winter. Is there a reason other than cost, the one on the commander won't work on the WJ? BTW, really enjoyed the ending of the video with your family award. Are we gonna see a video on your parts tent weather mishap? God Bless you and your family this Christmas and always.
Thanks brother! I think I'll film a 2020 wrap-up video and go over a bunch of stuff including the tent. the commander can would work on the WJ... But I sure as heck wasn't going to spend a hundred bucks on the WJ 🤣 merry Christmas!
hey brother! wrecked J is still waiting on me.. I had to get the WJ running or my wife was going to make me scrap it 😯. there will be A LoT of XJ content coming soon
@@ProjectDanH Doesn't the 2 breathers on the back side of the valve covers go into the intake also? The PCV is only connected to the oil fill tube. I would think the breathers on the valve covers would cause sludge also?
On my 5.2 ZJ I've got the PCV valve on the passenger side leading to the intake. On the driver's side there's a "crankcase breather element" which is essentially an elbow from the valve cover going into a tube heading strait to the air box. I don't know if the WJ has a similar setup, but I'm wondering if one catch can should go on the PVC valve for the intake, and one after the "breather element" to keep oil out of the IAC.
@@robertgrauman8602 only had them on for a short period of time, I put all new hoses and connections. New mopar pcv valve and definitely working as I hoped. Highly recommended for any ZJ!
@@aldicroce6505 I wonder if adding oil catch cans will prolong the life of IAC valves, or at least make the aftermarket ones last longer than two weeks. I guess I need to do some research.
Hi I installed catch cans on both banks. (2004 Tahoe). At oil changes I have 1/8 cup in drivers side can, while passenger side is bone dry. What does this mean?
aw the bit at the end :,) congrats on the award you definitely deserved it
lol.. Thank you so much!!
congrats for your beautiful family !
Thank you so much 😀

Nice tip adding the steel wool to the baffle 👍👍
Thank you! hope it does the trick!
Great job. I installed the oil catch can in my Jeep xj. I noticed the oil pressure suffering moving up as normal. I installed the rear elbow to IN and OUT to the manifold.
Excellent! XJs have a CCV system but it's still good to catch any blow by before it gets out back into the intake!

The oil you recovered is amazing, can’t believe I haven’t thought of installing this on my jeeps.
I will be ordering them.
And congrats on the award!
Thank you! It's both shocking and disgusting how much blow is captured
Now I’m going to be looking at getting my ZJ a catch can. Thanks Dan
Thanks brother! Got to keep the first ZJ truck top notch
I agree, especially if you have direct fuel injection. On the old port fuel injection system this is usually not that bad, most of the times.
yea Buddy.. I don't know how the designers of direct injection engines can sleep at night!
Good Job Project Dan H and Merry Christmas to you - love the ending
Thank you Charles! Merry Christmas!
Hell yea. I kind wanna get a catch can for my ZJ.. maybe I'll order one now...👍🏻
There ya go Buddy! Treat your ZJ for the holidays!!
Great video. I will be doing this on my ZJ
awesome Chris! I have to can my ZJ too!
on the outside it is identical to mine, but inside it is different in that mine has a metal piece with holes to collect the oil and mine came with good quality hoses and hose clamps
Oh nice! glad its better!
Picking up a new to me 04 WJ overland tomorrow. Been binging your stuff bro! Love it!
Nice!! thanks for watching and congratulats on the WJ!

looks like a stolen or abandoned to me... It's still there but completely vandalized now. Thanks for watching to the end! God bless, Merry Christmas!

Great video.
Thanks!! I'm still watching 🤣
On the firewall
That works!
Good video, I just did mine with the same can and am uploading the video. WOW 5 commercials in a 20 min though.
Its a great mod! Thanks for watching... uhg.. I hate adds.
That’s so much oil!!! I’m curious how much my Jeep would collect cause I know I have a good amount of blow by but I think my rings are starting to go soooo that’s another issue haha
Dude you'll be amazed and disgusted how much oil is caught! Pop in the catch can and do a vid I can't wait to see how much oil you collect!
Project Dan H I really think I’m going to! Added to the list! I feel like my jeeps gonna have a ton hahaha
I can't tell you how many pcv valve's i've broken on the 3.7s. They are EXTREMELY fragile. No joke! LOL
haha! seriously!!! it broke in my hands and I didn't even feel it... I've eaten stronger pretzels.

🤣🤣🤣 I endeavor to read and reply to every single comment. Loving the ones I've read ( Even my own) gives me a quick visual when I scroll to ensure that no one is left out ♥️✔️
@@ProjectDanH I just found it funny. Had me going to other people's channels to see if they did it too.

Right?? I could use a nice van in my fleet 😉
@@ProjectDanH more part storage as well 😂
@@jaysmith5084 exactly! 😉
Not bad, I wonder if general grevious would out due the commander.
excellent question! I'm gonna have to Can the General soon!
agree :)
👍👍
Dan, What are your latest thoughts on how the oil catch can is working out for you?
absolutely fantastic! I wouldn't run a vehicle without it!
I think you were supposed to put the steel wool in the baffle. I have the same oil catch can and the baffle opens in half
Yes.. I intentionally left it out to more accurately calculate the blow by accumulation
Zip ties? Inside a hot engine bay? Next to a radiator that's close to 100°C
I have one of these on my RX8 and it dumps some nasty looking stuff out.
LOL, thank god its not going into your intake!

Do you have a catch can on the XJ?
Thanks Pete... Not yet, soon
Whats going on Dan H anything new on wrecked j
hey brother! wrecked J is still waiting on me.. I had to get the WJ running or my wife was going to make me scrap it 😯. there will be A LoT of XJ content coming soon
Do u think they will work on a 3.6 grand Cherokee?
absolutely!
What about the breathers on the red of the valve covers that connect both valve covers?
Not sure I understand the question
@@ProjectDanH Doesn't the 2 breathers on the back side of the valve covers go into the intake also? The PCV is only connected to the oil fill tube. I would think the breathers on the valve covers would cause sludge also?
Makes me dread finding out how much my 96 ZJ v8 loses. @_@

I have ZJ 5.9. I installed 2 small cans. One on each side. Works great!
@@aldicroce6505 Have you noticed if your IAC valve is cleaner or functions better after you installed them?

Does the water vapor freeze up?
haven't had an issue.. its close to the block so it gets hot
Where is the follow up to this
I thought this was the follow up? Lol I haven't watched it in a while! Lol
@@ProjectDanHyou were gonna do a checkup a yr later to see how much oil it caught
No need of removing the whole catch can just buy a Turkey Baster unscrew the bottom and suck it out with that.
great idea!
Hi
I installed catch cans on both banks. (2004 Tahoe). At oil changes I have 1/8 cup in drivers side can, while passenger side is bone dry. What does this mean?
I'm not sure, I don't have any Chevys. Lol
I don’t know what he’s saying that is by far an ugly sweater
LoL.. It's a D&E in the garage shirt 😉
