Ordered the mishimoto oil catch can. The non baffled one. I assume I can just out some steel wool in it for the condensate.

 

How difficult are these to install? I've installed a cold air intake on my '99 once but that's about my extent for truck mechanic'ing ability.

 

I've never done anything to a vehicle ever other than change a headlight bulb and I managed to install my RX catch can. I know you can do it haha

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

Hahaha awesome. I've grown up on our farm and can do anything to a tractor and farm equipment, or old farm trucks. But these new vehicles always make me nervous that I'm going to eff something up and have to pay a professional to fix.

 

Duct tape and baling wire won't fix these trucks I bet.

I hear yea but it's pretty simple. Some guys say it takes 30 minutes to do. It took me more like an hour because I was going very slow and taking care not to harm anything but it really is a pretty easy job.

Just to report on what I have noticed with my truck after the can install. 1 At 1233 miles i drained less than 1oz of water and oil. 2 I noticed that the inside of my tailpipe is not sooty anymore so it's burning cleaner. 3 The clean side filter had a tad of moister in it but not at the Airade MIT fitting. 4 I also fixed the buzzing with rubber isolators.

 

When i intially spoke about the cosmetics i was a bit dissapointed...But all in all this can works and works well. I did strip and powdercoat to my satisfaction so all is good.

Ok...Maybe POS was a little strong but the Quality is lacking in a big way for me... Riding HD's for 30 years now and the standard finish for parts these days come powder coated (END OF STORY) this thing is rattle canned no doubt about it. I started peeling the Decals off and the damn paint peeled off with it also the clean side filter had a chip on it. Some of you guys might be ok with that but I'm not.. NOT $280 worth!!!!

 

Another thing is that I ordered it for my 2014 Silverado 1500 5.3 and came with a whole bunch of crap I did not need. I used most of my stock fittings on the hose ends and had to modify for the cold air (Airaid MIT) which I specified that I had.. which is a waste of money for the consumer. In fact I made the cross over tube work from the Airaid MIT tube to cross over the valve covers for the clean side filter.

 

I will media blast the Canister and Clean side cove and have it Powder Coated like it should have been done from the start for the hard earned money I shucked out. Only time will tell if it actually works as described. Done with rant!

We were using these cans exclusively on the EcoBoost F150's. The "initial" quality was outstanding....but after several orders the quality control def hit the pits. Check around on the F150 forum and people really started having issues with the owner. Still a nice can....but there two others that perform as well..

 

The new UPR with updated diffuser is solid can for aabout 100.00 less...you need to build the kit (they may have one by now).

It does have a check valve. It's attached to the fitting coming off the cc.

You don't need the check valve.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
