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

That's the same one I'm running. Works great. Catches a LOT of gunk, especially in cold weather. I empty mine about every 2K miles.

Rx's clean side separator isn't the greatest though. The adhesive attachment from the oil filler cap to the can on top is weak. I sent mine back because it fell apart in my hand when I tried to install it. When it came back re-glued, the same thing happened again. I guess when you glue a flexible material to a rigid one with no other mechanical fastening, that's what happens. I think I'll see if I can figure out a better way of attachment. Maybe a metal collar (like a big washer) on top of the flexible lip, screwed through the rubber to the cap. I hate to have a $100 part sitting there unusable.

Installed a JEGS catch can today.

 

Why does the second line seem to be heading away from the engine under the brake master cylinder?

If you look close at the edge of the picture it appears to be running along the edge of the engine bay and back toward the front of the engine. Guessing this is a 6.2L engine.

5.3. Plumbed from under throttle body, along wiring harness, comes in to can on driver side of fender well, then out and over to the intake. I tried to keep the bends as gradual and smooth as possible, part of the reason I have a lot of line laying there

Awesome yeah I see it now I didn't look closely enough at the left side of the picture. Is that salt/chemicals from the roads all in your engine bay?

I've put this off too long. Ordering my RX can right now. Also looking into a BG cleaning. Coming up on 15000 miles.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
