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.

 

I've never done anything to a vehicle ever other than change a headlight bulb and I managed to install my RX catch can. I know you can do it haha

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

Hahaha awesome. I've grown up on our farm and can do anything to a tractor and farm equipment, or old farm trucks. But these new vehicles always make me nervous that I'm going to eff something up and have to pay a professional to fix.

 

Duct tape and baling wire won't fix these trucks I bet.

I hear yea but it's pretty simple. Some guys say it takes 30 minutes to do. It took me more like an hour because I was going very slow and taking care not to harm anything but it really is a pretty easy job.

Just to report on what I have noticed with my truck after the can install. 1 At 1233 miles i drained less than 1oz of water and oil. 2 I noticed that the inside of my tailpipe is not sooty anymore so it's burning cleaner. 3 The clean side filter had a tad of moister in it but not at the Airade MIT fitting. 4 I also fixed the buzzing with rubber isolators.

 

When i intially spoke about the cosmetics i was a bit dissapointed...But all in all this can works and works well. I did strip and powdercoat to my satisfaction so all is good.

Ok...Maybe POS was a little strong but the Quality is lacking in a big way for me... Riding HD's for 30 years now and the standard finish for parts these days come powder coated (END OF STORY) this thing is rattle canned no doubt about it. I started peeling the Decals off and the damn paint peeled off with it also the clean side filter had a chip on it. Some of you guys might be ok with that but I'm not.. NOT $280 worth!!!!

 

Another thing is that I ordered it for my 2014 Silverado 1500 5.3 and came with a whole bunch of crap I did not need. I used most of my stock fittings on the hose ends and had to modify for the cold air (Airaid MIT) which I specified that I had.. which is a waste of money for the consumer. In fact I made the cross over tube work from the Airaid MIT tube to cross over the valve covers for the clean side filter.

 

I will media blast the Canister and Clean side cove and have it Powder Coated like it should have been done from the start for the hard earned money I shucked out. Only time will tell if it actually works as described. Done with rant!

We were using these cans exclusively on the EcoBoost F150's. The "initial" quality was outstanding....but after several orders the quality control def hit the pits. Check around on the F150 forum and people really started having issues with the owner. Still a nice can....but there two others that perform as well..

 

The new UPR with updated diffuser is solid can for aabout 100.00 less...you need to build the kit (they may have one by now).

It does have a check valve. It's attached to the fitting coming off the cc.

You don't need the check valve.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
