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 wouldn't be too concerned - I was at 74k or so when I first installed mine. Took me a while to discover the world of catch cans ...

So I been looking on Amazon for a oil catch can and I see ones with filters on top and some with out. Which one is better? Or what's the filter on top for?

I just installed my Elite CC and I am really impressed with the quality. I had a Rx and I prefer the Elite over that as far as build quality. Only downside is if you install in spare battery box area like I did they do not provide enough hose but that's cheap from the store.

We should be supplying 5.5' - 6' of SAE Goodyear Fuel Line hose with each kit. I thought that was enough, if not, please let us know and we'll update our kits.

No worries...On my 6.2L the length of hose I got with my kit was at least a foot short to do both runs. I got some nice fuel hose from a local hardware store with the same ID but it actually had a thicker sidewall so I was not able to use the nice clamps you provide. Like I said I was really impressed with the quality of the can. I unfortunately broke my Rx can relocating it (actually the fittings stripped) and I decided to try another one. Glad I did....

Has anyone else had an issue after sea foaming the intake and valves. It seems to sputter when I first put it in Dave and then it acts normal. No engine light. It's been about 4 days since I sea foamed.

My 6.2 kit came with plenty for the battery box mounting location, but my brothers 5.3 kit was short by a lot so he also had to buy a second hose to be able to mount in the battery box.

GM engineer talking about the catch can he designed for the 2016 Camaro with LT1 to prevent pre ignition detonation in Hot Rod Mag. For the few still doubting the use of a catch can.

Now since GM "believes" a need for a catch can, I wonder if they will make an accessory now for all DI models? Just like Harley.....they said that synthetic oil was the work of the devil and would void warranty's but when they developed their own brand of synthetic all was then magically ok.

Interesting information. I did some searching for pics of the new Camaro 6.2 and noticed some hoses on top of the engine that are not on the Corvette or pickup 6.2 engines. Curious to know how if this catch can has to be drained or just dumps back into the oil sump.

Another 2016 Camaro 6.2 pic. Routing of hoses that come off valve cover and TB area seem to be a little different. Maybe they changed it for production?

Yeah they could have changed it you always have to wait until you see one. I'm curious if it's gotta drain back system like Spurs making

      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?
