I was on fence/not drinking the catch can koolaid, but recently had a change of heart since I made an appt to have my truck in for the door handle/lock TSB - the service mgr got me to agree to the fuel system cleaning, got into convo w/ him regarding catch cans & while he agreed the addition of port injection should be a big help he said based on what he had seen on previous generation EB motors w/o the port injection (especially running 87/cheap fuel exclusively) having to do rebuilds/tear down coked valves etc. @ 80k miles....even though I put high quality gas & oil in my truck said it wouldn't hurt for peace of mind to have one.I asked - well, my understanding was this could potentially void warranty - his response was that adding a catch can (or that dealer in particular) would 100% not void my warranty if I installed one that didn't modify existing stock parts - ie: the ones that require drilling holes into inlet tubes etc.So.....I guess despite being an outspoken skeptic of catch cans, & despite concerns of warranty issues, I may wind up contradicting myself & putting one on after all. It'll be a JLT - no way in hell I'm paying $500 for a catch can & the JLT doesn't require any holes to be drilled.
