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.

I sent you pics as you requested however I have no reply yet.

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

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.

Yes I can however not too loud. When its open there is no doubt. Plus now I smell a little warm oil in the cab and outside. Not much but not normal. Has anyone else with a 2015 5.3 get a hissing noise?

I do not have any noticeable noise with my catch can.

My mechanic had a good thought....why not route the PCV gases directly into the cylinders? "Direct injection" for the PCV system so to speak. It would accomplish the same goal but eliminate the valve buildup issue. Engineers need to consider this approach.

But then, how will you seal against 3000 psi of force when the mixture ignites? No easy answers.

 

My solution is to just go back to having a filter on the valve cover. It worked ... and nobody died from breathing it.

I mean you can't just run a hose straight into the cylinders. There needs to be some kind of engineered piping system with a check valve if some sort to prevent back pressure. I don't know all the details but they should consider designing a system that safely routes the gases that way.

Just another system to break and cost $$$. Imagine the carnage (and noise) when the valve lets go ... and we all know it will.

 

There was a time when I trusted automakers to design a good, reliable system. Those days are long gone. Cheap is the name of the game today, unfortunately.

 

Good idea, if they could make it failure-PROOF.

So with winter now essentially knocking, how does the Elite CC perform where weather up here can hit -30c? I don't have a heated garage unfortunately. I am a non-aggressive driver but do an easy 500km's a week. Truck just rolled 10k kms. Idling will also be more pronounced as well :sigh:

Temperature shouldn't affect performance of the can unless you forget to empty it and let it fill up too much and freeze. But with the inlet and outlet ports located at the top, air should always flow through just fine.

which bracket has everyone been ordering their elite CC with, I'm assuming the 6.2 would be the same as the 5.3l....

That's correct. Our 62L Bracket fits both the 6.2L V8 and 5.3L V8. If you order a Catch Can, you'll specify your vehicle type during the checkout process. We'll review that information and be sure the correct bracket, fittings, and hardware are shipped to you.

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 parts needed to convert my single output can into a dual output can. With some simple instructions they explained to me how to add the second fitting. So this morning I gathered the tools needed and decided to document the whole process. It didn't take long at all. Maybe 2 hours (but I was filming).

 

Here it is:

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
