2014 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 liter. I went with the same can you have because I like the looks of it and seems to probably hold more oil so less drain intervals and price was a factor

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

Mine is a 2010 6.2, not sure if the plumbing is the same.

Been in contact with Elite Engineering for the past couple weeks to get them to make a kit for the K2. They had a truck in today to test fit one of their cans and a way to mount it. I just ordered a can from them. I will post up pics when the can is installed on my truck.

I used hose clamps. Just as extra security. The hoses seemed to slip onto the fittings on the engine pretty easily....I could see them slipping off just as easy without a clamp. Just be careful you dont snap off the fittings on the engine, they are just plastic. A member here did and had to replace his entire intake. Not a cheap mistake.

Think I've got it figured out if I'm wrong can someone please correct me on the 14 5.3 there is a connector on the driver side half way down the intake and one just below the throttle body I take the first hose from side of intake connect to inlet on catch can and the exit of catch can to bottom of throttle body! Is this the correct hose route?

I think you are thinking backwards just like I did. Exit of the can goes to the drivers side. Take a look at chevy2tuff2006's post #622. He explains it pretty well.

Steve at Elite Engineering just sent me a detailed installation guide yesterday. I found it to be very helpful. My Elite can is on its way.

These instructions show the can being mounted to the master cylinder housing. I asked Steve if i could mount mine in the empty battery tray behind the driver's side headlight. He said no problem and is including the proper bracket to mount it there with my order.

 

I also asked Steve if I needed the larger can. He said the regular can will have no problem going from oil change to oil change without needing emptied - even in cold climates where I am at.

 

He was very helpful.

My mishimoto can was about half full with 1,235 miles. Mine would definitely not make it between oil changes. I like that it has a sight glass so I can quickly check it.

Got any pics so I can see how you hooked the hoses up and where?

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By newdude · Posted

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
