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?

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 did you get those items at?

My inventory from my company lol. It's all Swagelok stainless fittings and tubing.

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

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
