Yes, ill get a pic of it.

 

As for the straight hoses, I was kind of limited by the length that they sent me. I'll correct it and give it more slack when I get the correct hoses and fittings for the job to be done right.

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

How much is everyone seeing in their catch can. After about 4600 miles I have collected a total of 4.1oz of oil. Does that seem low or is it normal?

I saw about the same amount from mine (Elite) a little over an ounce per 1k miles.

I just had a thought about these Catch Cans. So they start filling up with fluid, what if you hit some bumps and it starts sloshing around, could the intake take a big ol gulp?

I suppose that's possible, especially with the roads we have out here in Massachusetts ... but I'd never let mine even get close to that deep.

Yeah I thought about that as well and drained mine before I got down to the beach knowing I'd be 4 wheeling on the sand and bouncing around

By March, there's way more sand on the roads in MA than there is on the beach!

 

More on-topic, while it's clear that the cans catch a lot of stuff, is there any evidence that it stops valve deposits? (Has anyone put one on one of those Audis that have really bad deposit issues and seen the issue fixed?)

Figured out my original question.

 

However, I have another.

 

I've read that the Elite Engineering clean side separator that goes into the stock oil filler location, is not a good idea if you live in cold climates.

 

Where I live, we see the extremes of both heat and cold. Can anyone comment on this?

I installed the Mike Norris can in my 2014 with about 4800 miles, this is what I got at 5600 miles. I was really surprised I collected this much so soon. I'm 100% sold on catch cans now.

My first 600 mile run collected 5x that much, but 90% of it was moisture, since the average temp at the time was 35°F. You guys on the left coast won't ever see that, with the warmer temps and drier air.

Ok, mine was mostly oil and the temps have been averaging 80-90°F

Those quantities varying by temp are typical. Here in VA, we have cold winters and hot summers. In the summer I'm getting about 2 oz of oil every 1500 miles. In the winter I'm getting a 6 oz. mix of oil and water every 600-700 miles. On average.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      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.
