Is there a reason the way I mounted it wouldn't be just fine? Do I need to hook it to the wiper fluid reservoir? On another note, how are guys with the Airraid intake tube doing the clean side seperator install? The grommets that came with the airraid tube use 5/8 hose and the items for the clean side use 1/2 hose. I was able to squeeze the rubber seal on the passenger side but it's super tight. I'm sure it will stretch out over time with heat. And then the grommet that goes to the oil cap on the airraid tube also is for 5/8 hose but the supplied hose from elite is 1/2. Any suggestions?

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

No you can mouth the can however or wherever you want it... I don't think anyone cares lol. I did a 1/2" NPT pipe plug in the one hole on my Airaid tube and then a half inch NPT to 3/8" tubing 90 degree fitting. I put a short section of 3/8" tubing in the fitting and attached the rubber hose to it. Didn't use much of what they sent along really lol.

Where would someone who doesn't work for your company get those types of items? Plumbing supply warehouse? Home depot?

You'll want to mount it like this?

Sort of. We will say close enough to how I arranged mine. I tossed out a bunch of the stuff you guys sent to make a cleaner install at least for the separator side of things... and of course added a little bit of stuff too.

Go to good hardware store like Ace Hardware. They have a good selection of fitings.

None of those places carry this stuff. Industrial retailers would be the only way you will find it. Hardwares and home depot type places might have some brass stuff that will work. Otherwise maybe a truck parts place ( highway tractors) or plumbing and heating. Or Google compression fitting and find something wherever you live.

Is that what I need for the hose going to the oil fill cap from my airraid tube?

Those 2 pieces would work excellent! Even better than my tubing contraption lol. For esthetics I used a recessed steel conduit plug that sits flush into the tube for that one that faces the engine.

Ok thanks. And you're sure that the 1/2" size is correct for the airraid tube? Just wanna be sure before I order. Thanks for your help.

God you are making me second guess..... it might be 3/4" NPT actually lol. I would have to look at the truck and it's not here. I would say look at yours to be sure.

Here is how I mounted my new E2 Can from Elite. If you pop off the radiator shroud, there are some holes you can put a bolt through to make a nice mount. If you watch my most recent video too, it shows the location in more depth as well.

And is this what I need to plug the passenger side of the airraid tube?

That looks nice! I need to get one, let me know if it is the right size. Right now I have two threaded stoppers that I found at ACE hardware. I can't remember what size I bought, but I just took the tube into the store and tried a bunch of fittings til I found one that worked.

 

But the ones I have are white, and kinda stick out like a sore thumb. lol

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
