MotorWeek and the catch can
 

I just watched an episode of MotorWeek. One of their mechanics tips was adding a catch can. The car they chose to demonstrate on was a gen 5 Camaro. Here is the link to the video:

What pisses me off is the lack of response from the dealer or GM. I have had similar experiences with my 2016 Camaro and I can tell you this is the last GM i am buying, love the car, hate the service department/GM. There have been a couple of people in here that have said the same thing and I would imagine OP won't be buying GM anymore. The amount of loyalty GM has lost over this far outweighs whatever it costs them for a new motor.

It's the dealerships that should really band together and decide that they won't get their panties in a bunch over a CATCH-CAN!

I read about a lot of people, myself included, who have no problem buying a GM vehicle and then not taking it to the dealer for service. I did not care about two years' free oil changes. I let my mechanic do that because the $100 for Mobil1 was not a big sacrifice, compared to what the mechanics at the dealership would do: only put in 5 qts of oil, drive my car into a wall, joy ride, or take pictures of the catch-can and void my warranty.

It would serve dealerships well to be "minor mod friendly": a catch-can will not hurt your engine, a cold air intake will not hurt your engine, an aftermarket exhaust will not hurt your engine, a carbon-fiber fuse box lid will not hurt your engine, and an LS3 conversion done by the dealership should not void a warranty.

GM gets the $$$$ for my car, but the dealerships won't get the $$$$ for regular service.

Pat Goss recommending and installing a CATCH CAN, on a LS3/L99 application!!!! Gee whiz, look_at_that...Nice find!

:emoticon8: to those idiots who think otherwise (you know who you are), particularly that GM franchise that started this entire mess, and to their GM regional office rep(s) calling the shots, with mechanical IQ of ZERO.

F.U.

Wow aint that a bitch. Gm blames this guy and this video shows up. Bs. Gm should buy this guy a brand new camaro and install cc. An apology from Gm would be nice too.

Corvette/camaro tech at a large Chevy dealer here. I think this whole thing went wrong when the technician called TAC. Why did he call TAC at all? Unless the dealership is restricted on their motors by GM they should be able to replace an oil pump or a motor without getting GM involved. I've repaired plenty of cars with minor modifications on camaros, vettes and other GM performance vehicles plenty of times.
As a technician you should have no problem diagnosing an oil pump. The technician ****ed this one up for you. Plain and simple.

I worked with a guy that thought my vette was "heavily modded" when all I had were bolt ons and E85. This technician you had sounds exactly like him
