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.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
