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

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
