cujo8,

 

I have everything ready to go but thought I should ask before I splice into the stock hose. If the stock hose is 3/8 then it will not fit inside the aftermarket. ,Please clarify..... Thanks

The stock hose will fit inside the after-market you just have to use some elbow grease. Put a little spit or water on the outside of the stock hose and twist it will you insert it into the after-market hose.

From my picture above you can see the stock hoses have been slid inside of the 3/8" rubber hoses and like Dave said it helps to lubricate the hoses with some spit or other bodily fuid to help with the process and then secure it with a clamp. :jester:

Gmpartsdirect.com has it for like 5$ i think, but you know how they are with shipping. Should be around 5-10$ from any of the parts sites

This is how much collected after 400 miles, don't know if it was enough to justify the cost!

The oil will add up over time. 400 miles isn't alot. Check it again in 1000 miles and you'll see the difference.

The engine layout for the 5.3 and 6.2 are exactly the same, just follow the pictures in this thread. You can mount the can anywhere you want.

I noticed something about my catch can tonight when I got home. My truck was idling and i walked to the front of my truck and I could hear a hissing coming from the location where I mounted my can. I popped my hood and the hissing was definitely coming from the catch can. I checked all the hoses and fittings, the top and the drain plug and there was no air leaking anywhere. I came to the conclusion that you could just hear the air going into the can since it's at the front of the truck.

 

Has anybody else noticed their catch can making a hissing noise?

 

cujo8, can you hear your can hissing a little since yours is mounted on the fender wall?

 

Well I finally got a chance to track down the hissing noise I heard in my truck and it was indeed a leak where I had attached the 3/8" hose to the PCV connection at the rear of DS valve cover location. Turns out that the tube that sticks up out of the PCV is really too skinny to seal properly with the 3/8" rubber hose that came with the kit. The skinny metal tube does have a raised ring near the bottom that the original PCV tube connected to, so if you could get the 3/8" rubber tube to slide over that ring that may be able to seal better, but I was unable to make this work. What I decided to do was to reuse the original hose that I had cutoff and removed and reinstall it so it points to right and hooked it to the 3/8" rubber hose that I now cut shorter to accomodate the new connection location. With this new hookup the hissing noise is now gone. :D Below is a link to a photo of my new PCV hose connection:

I am getting this exact same hissing noise. I just installed the catch can lastnight and noticed it. It will stop when you pinch the inlet or outlet hose. It does sound like its coming the the PCV location on the rear of the valve cover. I reused the factory connection and put the 3/8" hose around it and clamped it. I still have the same hissing noise. It this just the sound of the air movig threw the hoses or the catch can?

 

Here is a couple pics of my setup:

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By GAMark · Posted

      Most 1 ton trucks come with the factory overload spring, which need to be removed for installation of RoadActive Suspension. Removing the overload allows proper fitment and ensures the system works as intended. The RAS® Mega-Duty kit will reduce squat and provide significant improvement vs the factory overload spring.

      I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.

      IF,IF,IF. If they cared about quality instead of profit and this applies to any company, what a concept.

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By Christopher Miller · Posted

      Good Morning Gents..hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful saturday morning. I have a 2001 GMC Sierra that I bought used in 2018. I am the 2nd owner and its a beautiful truck. Ive put about 60,000 miles on it and recently the front end has felt funny. Kind of loose when hitting bumps adn sometimes I actually feel a "bang" in the steering wheel. I took it to a local guy who said that everything was tight and he tightened the steering box. It didnt feel much better, so I had him replace the front shocks, which had noto been done since I bought it. It had the check enging light on so I took it into a local garage to fix that and check out the suspension. Everything is original and the rubber bushings that I can see look bad. They said everything was tight and there wasnt any play in the front end. Im concerned about the banging feeling in the wheel. Ive been driving this truck for 8 years, so I know how it usually feels and this is something new. Its a second vehicle, so I dont drive it all the time, but Im trying to use it more often. I live out in the country and some of the  roads are kind of rough and I alive on gravel roads. Anyone deal with anything like this before?
