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

 

Nice! :thumbs:

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

Thank you I just get tired of the dealership acting like they know everything about anything. If they would just listen once in awhile they could learn a thing or two and be better at what they do. Not saying we are always right but I learn new things in my line of work every week.

At the same time they get a lot of customers coming in that have self diagnosed their problem and they are completely wrong, so they have to stand their ground. Kind of like when you go to a doctor and tell him what you think is wrong with you as per google, and he still goes through all the routine checks to make sure what the problem is. In your case though the dealership was just flat out wrong.

Nice. I took my truck to the dealer today for my 3rd free oil change/tire rotation. I'm waiting to see what they say about my catch can. Hopefully not a word.

I am glad I put mine on. Between driving to Florida from Illinois the temperature fluctuations caused a lot to go into the can. Just this week of driving to work and back about 120 miles total I pulled out probably an ounce to two of oil.

They never mentioned it at all. Awesome!

Thank you everyone for all of the information on this thread. Spent a lot of hours reading every thing here and a few other pages. Pulled the trigger on an Elite gen2 catch can. Only have 3200 miles on the truck so hopefully it won't be too bad before I get the can in and installed. Again, thank you very much...and here I thought I was done buying things for my truck!

The General Manager where I go inquired about my RX can and now has one on his High Country, Vette and Wifes Camaro after he saw mine installed.

After all the discussion of catch cans, I ordered one from elite engineering. I ordered the base model I guess you would call it. Other than price, what's the difference between it and the gen 2 from elite?

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
