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?

 

Hey sorry for the delay, I am hoping to have it in by next week. Cost is going to be ~$200 and hose length provided will depend your motor. V6 and V8 5.3 will be a few feet more than the V8 6.2 due to the location of the intake manifold inlet.

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

Just drained my RC Catch can on my 5.3l engine after 700 miles. It's been unusually cold here in the North East which may explain why the oil looks like coffee!

 

What appears to be bubbles in the photo is actually texture on the measuring glass I used. I need to find a better glass (steal something from the wife's kitchen maybe) :idiot:

 

Looks to be a little over an ounce.

My RX can arrived today (5.3) and I just put it in. It only took a week and a half to get here and everything seems satisfactory so far.

What are you guys doing with your drain tube? Sorry if I missed any explanation on that. It almost seems unneeded because I could fit a small cup under the drain valve.

Also, they gave me a ziplock bag full of barbed fittings and I don't need any of them. Am I missing something? I assume they're given just in case.

 

Lastly, just to be clear, no body cut apart the stock hose and reused those quick-connect fittings with the new hose, right? Everyone just put the new, given hose right up to the smooth male fittings off the engine?

Yes I dont need the drain tube either. And I assume they send everything as a package regardless of application...so the extras are included for different cars.

What type of drains do you have on your RX cans? Mine came with an awful one I changed it to a drain cock type

I didn't use any of the barbed fittings that came with my RX catch can. I just put a cup underneath the can when I need to drain.

Is that the valve that originally came on the catch can or is that the one you put on?

 

I ask because that looks exactly like the ball valve that came on mine.

No I added that's why I asked what comes on them now. The old valve was awful and people complained about them. Glad they changed them out.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
