Seriously though. It’s awesome everything worked out and everyone hung in there. One thang is for sho, peeps be lovin’ their Rams!

I know...crazy wasn't it? Getting those two pins back in their holes took me like 10 minutes

Their video said it would take 1.5 hours.. maybe I didnt drink enough beer between each step. Lol
Or it took them an hour to put the cover on!

 

[RBRK]

So can you order one now and receive it before June?

 

[Mishimoto]

Steve, you are a stand up person!!!!

Thank you, but our project manager, warehouse and order processing teams did most of the heavy lifting, I just communicated it all I'll pass your compliments on to them!

Did our videographer forget to include a six pack in the required tools section again?

I know we have a few extra that we can build, but I'm not sure how they're being allocated. Let me talk to the project manager and let you know - don't want to open the flood gates again without stock to back it up

Thanks everybody! Excited to see these on your trucks!

You get what you pay for my friend...there will always be cheaper options.

Obviously people aren't getting what they pay for

We'll get them today!

 

[2019REBEL]

We'll get them today!

Yes I know, the big pre sale had way more orders than they anticipated. I would have ordered one but by the time it gets to Canada and with the exchange rate and shipping and customs it would be way too expensive. Hoping they get a distributor in Canada.

@2019REBEL ...I guess you aren't reading what Steve was willing to do for our Canadian friends And folks ARE getting what they pay for...you really need to get with the thread

We can ship USPS to Canada to save some on the customs charges! But, I only have one kit available now and @RBRK has first pick right now, so it would have to wait until we can get more cans inventoried (hopefully still before June, but again 6/30 is the current ETA).

Thanks!

I PM'd Steve and he couldn't at the time give what I was looking for

@Mishimoto Steve, if it’s still available and other member doesn’t want it, I’ll buy it

 

[Mishimoto]

No problem! I'll make a note to let you guys know when we have stock again if it happens before June. Could you by chance copy and resend our PM conversation to me? I can't seem to find it in our inbox.

@Mishimoto Steve, if it’s still available and other member doesn’t want it, I’ll buy it

I'll let you know @RBRK says! I'd like to give them the day to decide.

Thanks!

Of course. Just shoot me a PM so I’m sure to see it. Thanks Steve.

I got mine installed yesterday. Went on easily. Hardest part of it was removing the existing rubber hose. I like it. Fits well. Looks nice



I bought the recommended drain kit (Mishimoto Compact Baffled Oil Catch Can Petcock Drain Kit ) with the pre-order. Not fond of the drain. It came with a double ended barbed with the valve, and I would have much preferred the valve on the NPT connector which connect to the catch can itself. I'll probably be ditching it for another drain valve in the future.

Thanks. Ordered one from amazon. Hate needing a hose off the bottom all the time.

Read thread #187 and don't forget to Loctite the handle screw before installing the valve and also put teflon thread pipe tape on it before screwing the valve to the catch can body

Thought I would post a photo of mine after 110 miles. It held about 1 oz. Took the can off to install the drain valve. Hats off to Security guy for the tip about the valve. Added the small nipple to hold a piece of hose for when I do drain it for real. This past week here temps have been from upper 20's to upper 60's, short haul drives for me 10 miles or less. Engine has just over 250 miles as of this afternoon. The idea behind the oil catch can is valid and I"m glad it's on and working as planned. My first experience with one. Please enlighten me some. It seems to me those of us in cooler temps would catch a little more blow by than those in warmer climates. True or false?

For those of you who are waiting, keep the faith. It is a quality product. Fit and finish is top notch. I do advise putting in some sort of drain on the bottom of the tank, it is a little hard to spin off because of the rubber gasket and fine threads.

Mine came in today and went right on. It did take 1.5 hrs to do. Had to go to store cause i ran out of beer. lol
The longest part of the install was trying to find my 10 mm socket the fell infront of the radiator thru the hood latch. Also it took longer to unpack the can from the shipping material, then to install.
Solid product and worth the wait and $$$$.
@Steve thanks for the extra gifts, much appreciated.
