The routing of your hoses looks different than this 2014 Sierra:

 

What's the difference that I'm missing? Is one a 6.2L vs a 5.3L?

 

 

EDIT: Nevermind the first user comment under the video explains:

Thanks for the vid. I just installed mine on my 2014 Silverado. Note: This video appears to be for a 6.2L.

The 5.3L has the dirty side manifold port on the driver side of the manifold about half-way back. Also, the inside of the manifold is a straight tube about half-way inside. There isn't any way to see any puddling oil or get to it if you could see it. My truck has ~3k miles and the throttle body did look about as dirty.

Great kit and thanks!

 

That is my comment. ;)

 

Also, if you look up a few posts, gone_fishing has posted an illustration of the connection points for the 5.3 & 6.2, noting the differences.

haha nice!

 

And yeah I saw those pictures after I made that post, but yeah they are definitely helpful in explaining what's going on. I will be using them when I install my catch can.

Tonight I drained my Norris Oil Catch can. It had about 6 ounces of a tan coloured oil/water mixture. I installed the can at 1,000 km and this was trapped after 5,000 km. This is going to be a worthwhile investment.post-129625-0-49475500-1416281406_thumb.jpg

Put on at 11,000 miles and this the oil puddle in the intake. I'll be running a cleaner after the HID install.

So the clean side separator and breather cap are not really necessary because the catch can itself is very effective (95% I read)?

 

Also, to be clear, does Rx supply all the necessary hose and hardware for this mod? I thought I read a member say he had to buy his own material.

I had no oil on the clean side probably because I'm not full throttle that much. They do provide everything. I had to call for a couple of forgot parts.

Has anybody found the part number or ordered the vacuum line and fittings that goes from the valley to the intake manifold for the 5.3L yet? I can find the valve cover to the intake box part #s, but can not find the dirty(vacuum) side at all online.

They provide some hose will it be long enough? For my Camaro it was. Mike norris hooked me up with enough hose for my truck. Extra hose at Napa is pretty cheap

How long did it take RX to ship for you guys?

Got mine in about a month. It's custom painted to match my car though

A little over 4 weeks or so for me, as well. I was concerned for a while, but it did finally show up. :)

Oh ok I'll give them more time before getting anxious. I just got a black one but it's only been a couple days since I ordered it. Thanks

It took about 3-1/2 weeks to get mine, and it was also black.

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
