I'm not defending RX's business model or their online presence, but two points...

1) PayPal is probably the best online payment option available from a consumer protection stand point.

2) There's no such thing as "free" shipping.

 

True these are definitely good points. And that's basically why I decided to pull the trigger on ordering it because it was PayPal handling the transaction. Overall I'm not worried. Sorry for giving that impression. I'm just excited and want it to hurry up and get here so I can install it!!!

My dealership said my catch can wasn't needed and wouldn't catch anything. I opened it in there shop after 2,000 miles and let it run on the floor. Lol

So, I added a second output fitting to my Original RX catch can. I had been emailing with the RevExtreme folks about the benefits of a dual output can, and they were gracious enough to send me the par

I feel like I read somewhere that you don't have to clean an RX catch can, but I can't seem to find that on their website. Is that correct? From the pictures I've seen there doesn't appear to be a way to open them up but I've seen other brands that have the ability to be opened and cleaned. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I talked to RX. He stated that there CCs did not require cleaning. I was short on time and did not ask why. You may wish to call them and get more info.

They are just baffles and use the change of direction for separating oil from air, so if they stay cool the oil won't cook or cake up inside.

Safe for who? Paypal is one of the easiest ways to get ripped off.

Just to clarify if you run a catch can with dual check valved exits, one before and one after the throttle body, you should provide a vacume source whether you are wot or part throttle. What I still don't understand is the purpose of even needed the clean side line or adding the clean side seperator

The clean side provides a source of fresh air that gets vacuumed out on the dirty side. Without it, you would have no airflow through the block

The only time you will see oil go through the clean side is with lots of full throttle driving.

Mine showed in a week painted white, I emptied after a couple hundred miles and ended up with a shotglass full of really stinky oil syrup. I was really skeptical on the price, but well worth it imo knowing what it is pulling out. I am in the middle of a trip all the way across Montana up to Canada and back and will empty when I get home with pictures.

I'm using Saikou Michi (the only can RX claims is as efficient as theirs) but rather not release the blue prints just yet since its a Prototype. I will say that it will fit perfectly (plug and play) into your spare battery area (helps with condensation), will be a duel can set up (to completely shut down all the Catch Can tests that test back to back cans), will be very user friendly (install and drain setup), and will be priced competitively with RX (but you will be receiving MUCH more than you get with RX... technically twice as much for the same price haha).

Have you installed you catch can yet? I'm really interested because its a plug and play. What's it going to cost you? How long will the hoses end up being?

Does the Camaro CC fit a 2014 Silverado 5.3?

Check with RX but I do t see why not they are both LS engines. My Nike norris can can be used on either vehicle

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
