Elite - I just bought your gen 1 through APEX for my 15' 6.2 two weeks ago.

 

If you recently bought a Catch Can from Apex, it's not ours, it's a copy, but it's now our Catch Can.

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

Yes, APEX did copy the E2 pretty much exactly.

 

And understand, most vendors are not educated techs, they are there to sell product. Any model of Elite you purchase will be heads above most any other brand. Elite is one of the few that offers varying models at different price levels. If in doubt, ask here and I can guide you as well.

NO- I have your can through JDP motorsports... P/N CC-300B-LS3 was drop shipped from you/elite... all the invoice/box/packaging is marked "Elite engineering". It's a beautiful product. Just not that great if it's not effective on a DI engine where I was lead to belive by your posts it was more than sufficient for that application. Not starting a war, just feel that all the relevant information was not properly disclosed. You must have known all this in recent post with no mention, not all the way forthcomming, people are trusting your opinion on here. Again, no argument. that is how it appears to me and at least one other person. Build on the conversation from there. Just feel a little burnt, that's all. I'll try to keep it PM from here forward if the convo continues at all.

Gotcha, thanks, yes that's our standard Catch Can. It's the same catch can that we recommend everyday.

Hi kenner, it is still effective as Elite states, and it is helping to reduce the coking rate. It is priced less than the most effective can due to the reasons I mentioned earlier, but you in no way wasted your $. I do agree the dealers should be more informed as well. So this thread should clear up much of the confusion.

I got mine installed a couple days ago and noticed that the lines to and from the can aren't necessarily collapsing but they did get narrower. Im guessing due to the heat. Anyone else notice this and should it be cause for concern. Thanks.

Its because of the vacuum. A little bit of flexing is gonna happen. You can upgrade to higher pressure resistant hoses if you want.

The hose that came with it says emission on it so I guess its good enough. What would be a higher resistant type hose.

I noticed the little but of collapse myself, assumed vacuum. No where near enough for me to worry about though.

What would be the heaviest walled hose you can buy? I want to get rid of some vacuum hissing noise I hear. I have an RX can.

Transmission cooler line will be a heavier wall. Emissions should be fine and not collapse as it is designed to support vacuum. Fuel line is too soft.

 

Make sure the checkvalves are flowing the correct direction. Away from the can.

Can you hear it hood shut? I could hear it if I stuck my head in the bay. With hood shut and normal idling I haven't noticed it at all.

My RX can came with "FUEL VAPOR [PCV/EEC] 3/8 INCH (9.5mm) SAE 30R7" hose


Whatever that means. But it doesn't oval and I don't hear any hissing

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
