I just installed my RX cc so far happy with it I do feel the vibration on the gas pedal usually low rpms nothing major Ill add foam insulator to the bracket later I hear a small hissing nothing major I just know it workings and it did come with the valve that most claim it didn't come with.

May I ask why yours is white? Is it plastic?

 

Thank you

They come in a variety of colors.

Mother of god BG induction cleanings in my area range from 110 to 150.00 for my wifes 2013 Sonata DI motor.

 

I cannot locate a catch can for her car. I called the dealer and they are like why are you putting a catch can on a DI motor.

I used a UPR catch can on my Optima turbo 2.0. I think the 2.4 is pretty similar in setup. Check this video out.

Yeah it was like $140 for my wife's Hyundai Accent. I can't imagine what it will run on the Silverado. But the guy at RX said they advise against these services because the carbon particles that get pushed through the cylinders can get trapped between the ring seals and score the cylinder walls. So I'm not sure what to do. I'm almost thinking not to do it at all on my truck unless it starts having issues.

he told me the same, I am thinking that if your doing this after 40-50 plus K miles that the possibility exists. But I would like to think that after say 15K and under that it wouldn't be too terrible. I put a can on at 8k miles and hope to delay the build up. My wife has 28K now and I need to get hers cleaned before installing the can

That logic kind of makes sense since BG will warranty your engine as long as you do their service according to their maintenance plan which is like every 15,000 miles. I'm at 13,500 now so it's getting close to decision time here...

I got my cc a few days ago. Hopefully installing it today. Sounds simple enough from what you guys are saying. What all have you guys been having to remove to get to the ports? I have a 2014 5.3. Looks like its a pretty tight space along the drivers side of the engine where the port is. Wiring harness and hose tied pretty tight along there. That back port is where my knife is pointing correct? Did you guys need to disconnect other stuff to get to it or remove all the plastic pieces covering everything?

Just got around to installing my can. Here is where I mounted it. I used one of the radiator mounting bolts. I like this spot better than the brake booster because it's closer to the front and will be easier to empty. I ran out of the supplied hose, so for temporary purposes I am using fuel hose one of the runs. I will swap it out with trans oil similar to hosing that was supplied with the can.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the post Fodupot! I had looked around the engine bay for a better location to totally eliminate my vibration in the pedals and never even considered that location. Moved mine last night in fact.

Drained the can last night with right at 1K miles since the last and got just a tad under 5oz of crap out.

Just press that grey retainer clip on the fitting and pull back on it and follow the routing of the hose and remove from the PCV port on the front of the engine under the Throttle body.You might have to move the injector harness a bit but not much.

I'm putting a afraid jr on next week. Will I have an issues with the hoses on my catch can. The can is already installed

Did you buy the clean side filter with the can? if not then no issues. I did the clean side with mine and had to go to the Hardware store for a 1/2 pipe thread to 3/8 hose barb fitting for the clean side filter hose.

    • The LCA bolts are NOT a one time use fastener.  GM does not have them called out as such at all.   They are torque plus degree, but not a one time use TTY.  Nowhere in the service manual does it call out for replacing the LCA bolts for being one time use.  Think about it.  The LCA bolts are now the alignment adjustment point, instead of the UCA bolts like the prior generation.    A bolt that is meant to be adjusted for alignment...would it make sense to make it a one time use component?  How would you get an alignment done in the first place?  You couldn't.       Also.  What TSB exactly?  There is no TSB that I see for 2019-2026 for over-torquing LCA bolts.  There was a PI, PIT5533C, but that covered 2014-2018 body trucks for re-torquing LCA mounting bolts.  But those trucks to a 2019-2026?  Not the same, so PIT5533C does not apply.    
    • Nice looking setup!  Is this the kit you got?  If so 211 is a great deal!  https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/trailering-camera-system-86584184   My TT came with a wireless rear camera but it only works on an app or a separate screen they sell so I've decide it's not worth the hassle since it keeps disconnecting and with wireless android auto it's a hassle trying to connect my phone to it.  So I've been thinking about adding the GM camera so it's integrated into the rest of the camera views.   I also found this one which seems to be a different PN & retail price that explicitly states the invisible trailer view https://www.shopchevyparts.com/chevrolet/2024/silverado-2500-hd/electronics/85825715-silverado-2500-trailer-camera-transparent-view-requires-trg-camera-provisions-p-92326971.html?sort=2a    
    • You didn't say what year it is. I have a '17 5.3 6l80e & used the Range AFM delete for a while to stay in V8 mode. Then I got a local tuner to preform a HPTune on my 6l80e & love it. He did a AFM delete, torque matching between engine & transmission, removed converter slip and mild engine tune that helps the transmission. Gears shift better, at specific speeds, no hunting for gear, no 2 gear down shifts, no spark plug miss feel. Drives like a different truck. I highly recommend it.
    • I know this old thread but I just replaced the left side engine mount on my 2018 5.3 2wd and it was a pain. A quick search showed that it was probably going to cost around $600 to $900 to get it replaced. I researched how to replace it and decided to do it myself being that I'm retired and have the time and tools. What should have taken a day took me 4 days plus a couple trips to my chiropractor and some blood. Why a mount failed at 150k miles is beyond me but such is life.   Peace
