I'm not defending RX's business model or their online presence, but two points...

1) PayPal is probably the best online payment option available from a consumer protection stand point.

2) There's no such thing as "free" shipping.

 

True these are definitely good points. And that's basically why I decided to pull the trigger on ordering it because it was PayPal handling the transaction. Overall I'm not worried. Sorry for giving that impression. I'm just excited and want it to hurry up and get here so I can install it!!!

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

I feel like I read somewhere that you don't have to clean an RX catch can, but I can't seem to find that on their website. Is that correct? From the pictures I've seen there doesn't appear to be a way to open them up but I've seen other brands that have the ability to be opened and cleaned. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I talked to RX. He stated that there CCs did not require cleaning. I was short on time and did not ask why. You may wish to call them and get more info.

They are just baffles and use the change of direction for separating oil from air, so if they stay cool the oil won't cook or cake up inside.

Safe for who? Paypal is one of the easiest ways to get ripped off.

Just to clarify if you run a catch can with dual check valved exits, one before and one after the throttle body, you should provide a vacume source whether you are wot or part throttle. What I still don't understand is the purpose of even needed the clean side line or adding the clean side seperator

The clean side provides a source of fresh air that gets vacuumed out on the dirty side. Without it, you would have no airflow through the block

The only time you will see oil go through the clean side is with lots of full throttle driving.

Mine showed in a week painted white, I emptied after a couple hundred miles and ended up with a shotglass full of really stinky oil syrup. I was really skeptical on the price, but well worth it imo knowing what it is pulling out. I am in the middle of a trip all the way across Montana up to Canada and back and will empty when I get home with pictures.

I'm using Saikou Michi (the only can RX claims is as efficient as theirs) but rather not release the blue prints just yet since its a Prototype. I will say that it will fit perfectly (plug and play) into your spare battery area (helps with condensation), will be a duel can set up (to completely shut down all the Catch Can tests that test back to back cans), will be very user friendly (install and drain setup), and will be priced competitively with RX (but you will be receiving MUCH more than you get with RX... technically twice as much for the same price haha).

Have you installed you catch can yet? I'm really interested because its a plug and play. What's it going to cost you? How long will the hoses end up being?

Does the Camaro CC fit a 2014 Silverado 5.3?

Check with RX but I do t see why not they are both LS engines. My Nike norris can can be used on either vehicle

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4
