You'll be alright, so long as you keep up with it. My glass catch can holds maybe 4 oz. tops, and it gets to about halfway with mostly water (in cold weather - below 40°F) after a couple weeks of local driving.

It's also affected by the distance driven each time...I get less on longer trips in cold weather as the can has time to get hot and the moisture evaporates from the emulsion.

 

If I do short trips, it fills up pretty quick...

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

That's my concern, I'm only ~4 miles from work so most of my driving consists of short trips. I'll just keep an eye on it and see how it goes

I just installed the RX cleanside separator today. Made a video showing the install. Pretty easy.

good video fondupot, I would suggest using the straight end snap fittings for the valve cover connection that you removed from the stock air tube to the cross over pipe instead of worm clamps IMO its a cleaner install but your setup will work none the less.

Wow interesting I thought they had made a new site. I was wondering why the prices were higher too. So from what I can tell:

 

This is the REAL RX: http://www.revxtreme.com/

 

And this is the knockoff: http://www.rxspeedworks.com/

 

So read through quite a bit of this, and think I have to add a can. I have 41k miles on mine bought it used form father in law and runs great no issues, but cant hurt to add now. That link for the REAL Rx is under construction? Is that the right link or are these unavailable now. Want to get a good can at a reasonable price. Going to skip the clean side separator for now.

http://www.rxspeedworks.com/ is the correct link but elite makes catch cans also

Post I quoted seemed to claim that as a knock off and crazy price for a catch can. Never paid that on my 4th gens or gto.

I thought someone said RXspeedworks is an imposter company using the RX design but making cans in China?

 

I agree I found the original "RX" by searching Rev Xtreme and I called them and spoke with Tracy direct so I know it's the right company. I'd say if you're in the market for an RX can, call them and verify how to get their can.

Do you have the number for them? With the site down I dont see that as an option.

RX performance Parts LLC. and RX Speed Works and Rev extreme are all the same co. The Director of R&D is Tracy Lewis. Check out the youtube videos that he does.

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

      The 92-95 SCPI spider injectors are notoriously problematic and hard to source new replacements. I’d pull the intake manifold first to inspect cracked lines and brittle plastic legs before dropping $350 on a rebuild. The 1.5 OBD system only offers limited data, no misfire tracking, which is normal for this 1995 model. Enjoy the project!

      Yea a fluid change is in order here. Honestly, your transmission didn’t even get hot. During the summer in stop and go traffic I’ve seen my 8l80 get up to 216 and it was still shifting smoothly.

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

      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.

      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.
