Elite Engineering can installed, black with AN fittings.

I ordered the same thing yesterday. Are those the default fuel line hoses they offer with the kit? Are they sufficient for this setup or do they need to be upgraded to something stronger?

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

I am curious about this but with the RX catch can. On their website it displays: Standard hose, black/silver braided 6-3/8", black/silver braided 8-1/2".

 

Actually am torn between the 2 brands at the moment and I don't even have my truck yet, both seem reputable. Cost wise elite seems cheaper and has a lower cost of shipping but longer shipping times than RX.

 

I've read through this thread 3 times and still I am undecided, I guess I'll wait to have my truck first.

Ordered my RX Performance catch can from Jegs 3 days ago and it just showed up. came with the catch can, hoses, hardware, and very surprisingly, the clean side separator, all for $319 to my door.

 

The separator was shown in the image but just looked like some stock RX Performance image, so, wasn't expecting to get it as well, given on the RX Performance site, that piece alone is $99 plus the main oil separator is $389. Through Jegs, i got both for $319.

 

hopefully i'll get time this weekend to install it and post some pics.

They are the SAE J30R6 fuel line that came with the can. They seem fine so far, but flow is high enough you can hear the airflow through the hose with the engine running.

From inside the cab or just with the hood open?

I've only noticed hearing it a few times from outside the cab.

Hood open you can definitely hear it. With the hood closed you can only hear it right next to the driver's headlight. I cannot hear it from the cab.

Has anybody noticed decreased fuel mileage after installing? I have had a few short trips but mine seems below normal even for that.

Thanks for the quick reply Ryan. I usually average about 12.5 (all stop and go driving and only 4 miles to work). I don't drive too aggressively and it was down to 10.6mpg on the dic today. I drove over to a buddy's house tonight and it went up to 12mpg but seemed like it was creeping up much slower than normal. I guess I will keep driving it and see how it does.

No. If anything you would see an increase because that moisture and oil is not going into your intake anymore affecting the combustion parameters so your engine is working more efficiently.

You shouldn't notice any mileage change one way or the other. Your just lengthening the PCV circuit - it's still breathing as designed, just a longer run, and less crap ending up in your intake.

When I originally installed my RX catch can, I didn't opt for the clean side separator they offer. After finding oil in my Volant CAI tube (http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/168584-oil-in-intake-tubeanyone-else-check-theirs/), I decided to install their clean side separator. Per Tracy at RX, I was told add a hose that basically connect the two valve cover breathers together. The clean side separator goes to one of my intake tube fittings and the other fitting is capped. RX instructions: https://www.rxperformanceproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/CLEAN-SIDE-SEPARATOR-INSTALLATION-INSTRUCTIONS-FOR-ALL-GM-DIRECT-INJECTION-V8.pdf

 

 

This may be a dumb question, but what did you use to cap the other other intake fitting?

      Aftermath of Repair of Leaking Brake Line

      By unit731 · Posted

      Thanks for response. Leak was right under drivers seat or thereabout.   Had checked by other mechanics and have read other information.   The solution can be a tad complicated and replacing multiple parts And with some.  The issue was still the same.   The brakes do work.   Just that the pedal is softer and goes further down.  But the brakes do work.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
