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

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
