Has to be something routed wrong or check valve stuck closed (blow through each to confirm they open and close properly). If your truck is a 2014 and up, Follow these instructions here:

 

 

Yep that's where I got the idea and everything is connected correctly and the valves are free and clear. IDK

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

Weird...never heard of one not catching anything. Keep us updated, and if you can, post some pictures of all, especially the drain being closed and not clogged (sometimes what is caught is thick and can clog the drain....take a wire and push up through the drain when open to try that).

Yeah, something doesn't sound right. One thing you might try, on the drain valve, open and close it a couple times with the handle, we have found they sometimes stick and it will appear the Catch Can is empty, If still nothing, the hoses must not be routed correctly. You WILL trap oil.

So, I've got to ask. It appears Tracy Lewis has his own line of catch cans out now...and the "monster" can looks identical to Elite's Ultra can. Are they?

I had one of the original RX cans and loved it. I recently sold my 2007 Classic and it went with it. I believe in what they do and need to get one on my 2015.5 Yukon with 20k miles I just bought. What are your thoughts on the two cans?

Mine did until I used hose rated for 350 psi.

That's weird, I wonder what difference that makes? My can is still working good though, crazy how much it collected in just under 1,000 miles so far!

The hose will collapse if it's just regular vacuum hose or fuel line. That's what causes the whistle or noise. As soon as I got some strong 350 psi hose no more noise.

Mine also makes a little bit of a noise, you can hear it if you stand up near the front corner of the truck.

 

Any idea if this is putting some kind of strain on the engine if that hose is collapsing a little?

If it doesn't totally collapse it should be okay. I had ovaling of the hose, noises and smell though which was enough for me to change. Replaced with good line from AutoZone and no ovaling of the line, no smell, and no noise.

It would be interesting to put a vacuum gauge on the line running into the intake plenum to see exactly how much suction is actually being generated by the engine to warrant the use of 350 psi hose.

 

These engines suck, but I don't think that much.

Typically the more pressure a hose will handle, the thicker it's sidewall will be and more resistant to collapse from vacuum.

 

They made vacuum gauges for mileage coaches at one point...the higher the vacuum, the better the mileage. They were actually kind of neat...more of a novalty, but neat to watch.

      Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.
