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?

 

Hey sorry for the delay, I am hoping to have it in by next week. Cost is going to be ~$200 and hose length provided will depend your motor. V6 and V8 5.3 will be a few feet more than the V8 6.2 due to the location of the intake manifold inlet.

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

Just drained my RC Catch can on my 5.3l engine after 700 miles. It's been unusually cold here in the North East which may explain why the oil looks like coffee!

 

What appears to be bubbles in the photo is actually texture on the measuring glass I used. I need to find a better glass (steal something from the wife's kitchen maybe) :idiot:

 

Looks to be a little over an ounce.

My RX can arrived today (5.3) and I just put it in. It only took a week and a half to get here and everything seems satisfactory so far.

What are you guys doing with your drain tube? Sorry if I missed any explanation on that. It almost seems unneeded because I could fit a small cup under the drain valve.

Also, they gave me a ziplock bag full of barbed fittings and I don't need any of them. Am I missing something? I assume they're given just in case.

 

Lastly, just to be clear, no body cut apart the stock hose and reused those quick-connect fittings with the new hose, right? Everyone just put the new, given hose right up to the smooth male fittings off the engine?

Yes I dont need the drain tube either. And I assume they send everything as a package regardless of application...so the extras are included for different cars.

What type of drains do you have on your RX cans? Mine came with an awful one I changed it to a drain cock type

I didn't use any of the barbed fittings that came with my RX catch can. I just put a cup underneath the can when I need to drain.

Is that the valve that originally came on the catch can or is that the one you put on?

 

I ask because that looks exactly like the ball valve that came on mine.

No I added that's why I asked what comes on them now. The old valve was awful and people complained about them. Glad they changed them out.

      Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.
