The Catch Can hoses should be routed in this manner.

I have a 5.3 so my connections are different.

Here at RX now they are doing a video install on my truck

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

Sorry, I thought you were asking about a 6.2L.

Sorry, I thought you were asking about a 6.2L. Here's a diagram for the 5.3L V8

The hose from under throttle body goes to the inlet of the can and hose from the side of the can outlet goes to the connection half way down the drivers side intake manifold on a 5.3L with the elite engineering can.

This sounds backwards when looking at the diagram from Elite. The 'clean air' outlet from catch can should be going to throttle body.

It would go to the top of the throttle body on the 6.2. On the 5.3, it should go to the side of the engine halfway down the intake manifold. The port below the throttle body goes to the inlet port of all catch cans.

This is correct!

Does anyone know if I can run seafoam in this same like on my 5.3 to clean the valves? Or any other product people suggest?

Seafoam makes a spray can cleaner wiith a 90 degree plastic on the long hose. I and some other have used it.

I used the sea foam and also crc intake valve cleaner. I used the sea foam because I couldn't find the crc intake valve cleaner the first time.

Did you just stick the hose into the throttle body?

I took off the top half of the air box and sprayed it through there.

Emptied my can yesterday after 500 miles. A lot of nasty gunk. Temps have been in the 30s-40s for most of the time I had it on. Though the past few days have been 50ish.

 

I really hope it's not that much every 500 miles....

Someone needs to pin the routing for the 5.3L and 6.2L...on the front page or something. I think it would curb some questions and help people find the answer MUCH quicker.

 

BTW, I'm brainstorming another way to keep the backside of the valves cleaner, I hope someone else beats me to it. I'm waiting on taxes to return and about to call Devils Own.

For anyone who's thinking the ebay catch cans are garbage, you may be wasting a lot of money on the expensive ones.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
