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

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?
