Yeah.....it's a very high frequency vibration, almost a hum that was most noticeable between 1500 and 1750 RPMs.

 

Drove another 40 miles or so tonight and it is just about completely gone. I would put it at 90-95% better. If someone didn't know to look for it I doubt they would notice.

Thought. This the first time it has happened. I wonder if it also goes with this the longest I ran it without draining. I'll empty it and see if it goes away.

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 was wondering the opposite....the longer you wait the more fluid builds up and settles the can down. So emptying it would make it worse not better. I don't know I'll keep an eye on mine and see how it changes. Just a thought as well.

I replaced the standard fuel line (50 PSI) with tranny line (175 PSI) and cleaned up the hoses paths... I just want to make something now to stop the hoses from all touching each other at the bend.

What Brand is that catch can?

Mine is mounted all the way out so the frequency would be different for each one. The bracket is like a running fork. But I'll know more later. If we mount the other end solid or at least put a loaf on it with a zip tie it should at least change if not go away. Edited by Crf450r420

Saikou Michi. I reached out to him back in September and we started designing a duel can set up specifically for our trucks. That one in the picture is the 1st prototype in my truck right now. Only a few slight tweaks to be made so I am very happy with the product so far. I've only put about 250 miles on it because I was traveling most of December (not in my truck) but after about 1000 miles I will give him my results and do a full write up on here. Hopefully have these babies ready for the market in a month or so.

Drained my catch can today. This represents only about 800 miles over the course of the last 2 weeks. I would guess I got about 8 oz out with most of that being water.

It was raining most of the day and I really wanted to wait another 500 miles to drain. I was thinking bracket, but reality didn't match with my thoughts. So I used some things around the shop and did this instead. I wanted to get it tighter, but I made the hose to short and once the big zip tie locked into this spot it was not going to move again. If need be our when my OCD kicks in, I'll try again. I've only driven 30 miles, but didn't feel even a hint of the vibration.

Also got some pictures of my drain. Wheel was turned so couldn't get the end.

Yep waiting on them to send me the link. The guy is super smart and really really knows his stuff. He even gave me a tour of the shop. Very eye opening the difference in cylinder heads on a DI and port injection motor. Down right scary actually

Hey Guys, Just a thought on the carbon buildup conversation. First question is what causes carbon buildup? I have searched and never did find that oil causes carbon buildup but is the unused fuel during combustion. If that is the case on our DI engines how can carbon buildup on the back on the valves? Not saying it does not. I do agree that oil in the air intake is not good and will be adding a CC. I'm no engine expert so if this is not the case please advise. If anyone has pictures of carbon buildup on our engines please share.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
