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

Got my catch can mounted (and a pair of LED fog lights installed). Ended up mounting it to the cross bracing above the brake booster. I think it should be easy enough to get to in that location. I appreciate all the posts on here. Makes doing stuff like this that much easier with the helpful tips and ideas and knowing others are successful.

Just ordered my RX catch can after reading through the entire 39 pages! My truck only has 3300 miles on it so hopefully this will help it!

I empty mine every 300-500 miles during the winter. I empty 7 to 8 oz. each time with most of the collection being composed of water.

No problems with mine being parked outside. Temps have been around -20 most of February, many nights with wind chills of -40. There seems to be just enough oil in the mixture to prevent freezing. As an aside, it sure takes a lot of cranking to get these DI engines started on the cold mornings.

Installed a catch can yesterday and cleaned the throttle body, intake tube and manifold. I had oil and grime all over the place.

Installed mine at 3,174 miles. After just two days and 57 miles driven. Half country roads and city miles with a couple remote starts since its been around 0°F here. I had about a shot glass worth. I was very surprised at the amount collected. At this rate it'll need to be dumped every fill-up. Its baffling that GM would consider this amount of oily residue to be passed back into the intake acceptable. I mean just look at it sticking around the upper rim and to the bottom of the can! I've been down that road with my wife's former Acadia. Peace of mind that I'll hopefully avoid those issues with this truck.

I empty mine about every 20% of oil life on the gauge. I get about 1/2 a can out of my Rx can.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      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.
