Oil catch can?

[bladz1454]

That hose should be like $12-16 depending on engine model, I was pricing them out when designing my current can (to cut the hose and keep the clips).

Thanks will get them posted shortly.

EDIT: Sweet it worked. Here are the best photos I took during the install. You can see how I used a hose clamp to connect the hose under the throttle body. I did the same thing at the other connection on the top side of the engine.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome good luck with the install.

Looks nice and clean! I see you also have the 5.3, that clamp from the crankcase into the can was a pain in the you know what to tighten with my intake still on!

I replaced the standard fuel line (50 PSI) with tranny line (175 PSI) and cleaned up the hoses paths... I just want to make something now to stop the hoses from all touching each other at the bend.

Thanks! Yeah it's a 5.3. Removing the airbox and tube between the throttle body and filter box is the way to go for sure. There's really no other way to access the crankcase nozzle.

 

I didn't get a picture of the drain tube from the can but I ran it down into the wheel well area of the driver side front tire so any residual oil in the tube that doesn't get captured in a drain pan will just drip on the ground and not in the engine bay. It's raining today but I'll try to take some more pictures of this soon and post them.

Ryan,

 

I don't think it's all in their head. After I installed the RX can in my truck, there was a noticeable vibration in the gas peddle at certain RPM's. My wife felt the vibrations too when she drove the truck. Believe me it's not imagined.

 

What I did to solve the problem is to move the RX can as far back as I could in the slots on the bracket that mounts the can to the brake booster. I had originally mounted the can forward (toward the front of the truck), to allow easier access to the oil dip stick. Once I moved the can back (towards the firewall), the vibration went away.

 

I think the check valve on the can, which is mounted close to the can itself, transmitted its vibration to the brake booster, which I could feel in the gas pedal. In my case, the gas and brake pedal are mounted on an adjustable pedal assembly. I think by mounting the can on the far end of the bracket amplifies the vibration due to a longer lever arm. (Just my guess)?

 

I read this a few days back and the light bulb went off....I have a vibration in my gas pedal that is extremely pronounced between 1500 and 1750 RPM's and I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. (I'm slow) I have my can mounted to the brake booster bolt like many have done so I figured I would try and see if I could alleviate the vib.

 

I didn't want to move the can yet for no other reason than I couldn't find a good location to reuse the bracket from RX and I didn't have anything laying around to make my own so I decided I would just try and dampen the contact point between the can and the mounting bracket.

 

I took a small piece of 3/4 radiator hose and cut a small piece off and then cut it in half length wise 180 degrees from each other making two small pieces. Then just drilled a couple holes in each piece for the bolts (I needed longer bolts to mount the can with the extra thickness) to pass through.

 

 

 

I put one piece between the bolt heads and mounting bracket and the other between the mounting bracket and can itself.

 

 

 

 

I drove about 20 miles this a.m. with most of it interstate, where I felt the vibes the most, and what do ya know....Fixed! No more vibes in the pedal at all. Thank you JimmyVal for posting that, otherwise I might not have ever thought of that being the issue. Hope this helps someone.

Wow, that's good news and a really clever fix. I think I'll try it on my truck as soon as it warms up a bit. I'm glad I was able to help.

Was it a super high speed vibration? Mine started yesterday and didn't think about the can until I saw this. I switched to stainless bolts and didn't have shorter ones, so I already have room to try this.

Yeah.....it's a very high frequency vibration, almost a hum that was most noticeable between 1500 and 1750 RPMs.

 

Drove another 40 miles or so tonight and it is just about completely gone. I would put it at 90-95% better. If someone didn't know to look for it I doubt they would notice.

This is awesome man thanks for sharing! I will probably try this if the vibration gets annoying enough that I can't stand it anymore. All and all though the truck is running great with the can. I'm using "trip b" on my DIC to monitor the miles on the can so I know when to drain it. I'm at about 375 now and plan to drain at 500 for an initial reading. I should be able to expand the drain intervals out from there.
