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.

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.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
