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 have a present waiting for me from RX performance. Gonna see if I can get it installed tonight.

 

Question though. On my 5.3L, which port goes to which opening on the can?

 

Never mind, found an earlier post, so basically the hose from under the throttle body with go into the center hole on the can. And the hose on the driver side cover will go to the offset hole on the can.

I can feel a buzzy feeling in the throttle at certain RPM's after I installed the RX. Let me know if you notice it to. I also did the throttle peddle flex mod too...but the buzz in the peddle was there before the mod.

Ordered an Elite can which should be here tomorrow for the wife's Acadia but she'd had enough of the milkshake issues and traded it in today for a Nissan. Looks like I get a can for my 14 Silverado now. I'd have to say I'm happy with this outcome. The wife's happy again and I get the added protection on my truck. Hopefully I'll have time to get it installed in the next few days.

I could feel a vibration after installing my RX can also. I followed Newm's idea on page 24 and installed some rubber radiator hose pieces on each side of the mount and that took most of the vibration away. It was noticeable in the pedals at lower RPM's on the highway. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/154204-oil-catch-can/page-24 I still have a slight vibration I can feel in the floor board at highway speed, but I attribute that to tires needing a balancing now.

yea there was a post earlier in this thread about having the RX can mounted to the brake booster. The leverage from the can gets amplified through the brake booster and you feel it in the pedals. Look back a bit in the thread and see. One guy used some tubing cut in half mounted in between the can and the bracket to help the vibration.

HI 07Softail,

I installed an ADD W1 can and had a fairly loud suction sound under the hood and a buzzing sound in the cab when taking off slowly could even hear the buzzing over the trans whine in first gear. I took my can off for now will think it over some more.

The rubber helps but doesn't seem to totally eliminate the vibs on mine either. Close but not completely. I need to experiment with some other way maybe but it hasn't bothered me enough yet.....or just move the can.

Yep you have it routed correctly.

I felt the buzz in my pedal too after installing the catch can. As fondupot said it's from the can being mounted to the break booster and the interior of the can shakes/rattles as the gasses pass through it and this get's transmitted through the break booster to the fire wall and down to the accelerator pedal. I will say after about a 1,000 miles the vibration settled down though. I'm assuming it's from the interior parts of the can, most likely the filter media, getting some oil on it and dampening the shaking around that is taking place on the inside. It's still there, but not as bad. I can live with it and I'm happy with the results of the can so it doesn't bother me. Especially since it doesn't happen at cruising RPM's, just under light acceleration.

I am going to put some 1/4-20 rubber isolators on the bracket and cut some rubber hose and install between the booster and bracket and call it good. Thanks Guys.

 

EDIT: I installed the 2 rubber isolators and a 1"x 1"x 1/8" piece of rubber between the bracket and booster and the buzzy throttle is gone.

I read somewhere that Toyota addresses the valve buildup issues by having a special combination port injection/direct injection engine design. Leave it to the Japanese to figure out something better.....as always. Can anyone confirm this? I'm having a difficult time finding information on the internet but I'm also at work and can't really look into it right now.

Yes Toyota calls it D4-S. I think only a few of their engines are using it. I read that the new Tacoma will have it on a 3.5L V6 that is replacing the 4.0L V6 they have used for a long time.

Ordered the mishimoto oil catch can. The non baffled one. I assume I can just out some steel wool in it for the condensate.

 

How difficult are these to install? I've installed a cold air intake on my '99 once but that's about my extent for truck mechanic'ing ability.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
