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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
