Mishimoto Catch Can - Hose Part Question

[Texas Woody]

Is this the right set of hoses for the Mishimoto catch can for the 2019 RAM 1500? It says 09+ on the packaging...

Following. Hope someone can give you an answer soon. I want to put one on my Ram too.

It should work - I don't think anything has really fundamentally changed with the HEMI found in our trucks since 2009 that would affect the mounting and connections on the catch can. The billet technologies catch can that I bought is listed that it will fit the 2009-2019. With the BT can they sent me more than enough hose to make the necessary connections - I actually cut them down a bit.

If I had ordered this direct from Mishimoto I wouldn't worry, but I took the Amazon route to save a couple pennies and they actually had one...

Just finished the install. The hoses worked just fine. No issues. Easy install. The video on the Mishimoto website helped a lot.

7,048 miles is mileage at install.

 

[Glenn54]

Thanks for the followup. It looks like a factory add on. I need to order one soon.

I strongly suggest you order the stainless steel ball valve and insert it into the bottom of your can. Makes emptying the can super easy!

Care to show how you have yours set up with this? Honestly, it's not hard to unscrew the catch can from the base to dump it out. I bought Mishimoto's valve and hosing for the bottom of the can, but not sure if I'm going to install it or not...

You can easily reach hit and I just put a plastic cup underneath and open the valve. This way it never effects the seal where the can base attaches to the upper mounting section of the can and keeps the can air tight. For $13 it's a far better way to empty your can and great investment. No brainer!

I bought the Mishmito hose and valve and it's terrible and you don't need the hose with our set-up. Their valve is a cheap plastic and it cannot attach to the bottom of the can without installing the hose. Return it and buy the Amazon valve.

Does anyone know the hose size for the catch can? im not really into buying a $200 unit just to catch some oil blow by, when I can get a universal one with the same filtering/baffling for maybe a quarter of the price. it really cant be that hard to find a way to mount a universal one. as long as I can get the proper size hose im pretty sure ill be good.

A clear can would be hugely helpful. That way you can tell at a glance if you need to service it or not...

ive seen some universal ones with a clear hose that runs up the side that indicates the level. thought it was pretty cool.

I bought the Amazon drain plug and installed it today. We'll see how it goes.

Two things you need to be sure to do:

1. Take the screw out of the blue handle...put a drop of loctite on it and reinsert the screw
2. Be sure to use Teflon tape on the threads of the valve before you screw it into the bottom of the can

You do these two things and you'll NEVER have an issue!

I installed my Mishimoto catch can today. Installation was no problem. While I was installing it, my ball valve showed up. Apparently there is a link to the wrong part elsewhere on this forum because I ordered based on that other link and the valve won't clear the bottom of the catch can so you cannot open it.

Oh, well. No big deal. I just ordered the correct one that is linked in post #7 above (Thank you @securityguy).

BTW, I'm getting zero noise/hiss from the Mishimoto. The quality of the included hoses seems very good, but they have no markings on them which I suspect means they aren't great. But they seem more than robust enough for this particular application. If my OCD gets me, I may upgrade to transmission oil cooler lines like others have suggested.
