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

What is the AN size on the RX can.... I'm wanting to do the Dual exit mod. I'm guessing -6 but not sure

When I did the upgrade on my RX can I used a 3/8" drill bit with a 1/4" NPT tap. Hopefully that helps you.

For GM applications 3/8" id hose, or -8 AN lines will work with the AN style clamps.

 

Ford takes mainly 1/2" or a -10 braided AN line on most.

So a -8 to 1/4 pipe nipple and a -8 90 degree 3/8 barbed fitting correct. I'm using standard 3/8 rubber hose and want to get the same size 90 degree fitting and straight fitting as the original ones. -8 sounds too large to me

-8 is half inch, -6 is 3/8. -10 is 5/8.

Correct, but the AN braided line as far as fitment over a push'lock AN fitting works the next size up. Trying to push the -6 over 3/8" barb is very difficult so the -8 fits slightly snug, and then use a AN clamp end to secure them and so on. The Elite cans come with true AN screw on fittings, so then the -6 would be used, but it is then difficult to fit the barbs into as they are a 3/8" barb. I think most get the push-lock style AN fittings so if wanting to use the braided line, then using the next AN size up makes it easier for the installer (as long as you use the AN clamp ends like these:

This makes a nice clean install when used on each end of the braided line at the checkvalves and other fittings.

 

Thanks!!!

Got my catch can in yesterday. Not a single direction in the box. I told them I wanted to mount it in the spare battery location. So since there's no directions, where does it actually mount? To the bottom of the battery tray? To the battery tie down support?

I think I used the bolt holding the windshield washer bottle to attach mine.

Well the only place that made since with the bracket they supplied was to bolt it down to the bottom of the battery tray. I'll get pics shortly. Hopefully I did it right.

Here's how it's mounted. Has anyone else mounted it like this? It's bolted down to the bottom of the spare battery tray.

Here's another mounted in that area. The way you have it doesn't leave much room for drainage.

Flip the bracket around to attach to the washer bottle. That said I have a piece of 3/8" stainless tubing off the valve on mine thay drains over past the pcm so I can easily get a pop bottle under it

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
