You'll be alright, so long as you keep up with it. My glass catch can holds maybe 4 oz. tops, and it gets to about halfway with mostly water (in cold weather - below 40°F) after a couple weeks of local driving.

It's also affected by the distance driven each time...I get less on longer trips in cold weather as the can has time to get hot and the moisture evaporates from the emulsion.

 

If I do short trips, it fills up pretty quick...

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

That's my concern, I'm only ~4 miles from work so most of my driving consists of short trips. I'll just keep an eye on it and see how it goes

I just installed the RX cleanside separator today. Made a video showing the install. Pretty easy.

good video fondupot, I would suggest using the straight end snap fittings for the valve cover connection that you removed from the stock air tube to the cross over pipe instead of worm clamps IMO its a cleaner install but your setup will work none the less.

Wow interesting I thought they had made a new site. I was wondering why the prices were higher too. So from what I can tell:

 

This is the REAL RX: http://www.revxtreme.com/

 

And this is the knockoff: http://www.rxspeedworks.com/

 

So read through quite a bit of this, and think I have to add a can. I have 41k miles on mine bought it used form father in law and runs great no issues, but cant hurt to add now. That link for the REAL Rx is under construction? Is that the right link or are these unavailable now. Want to get a good can at a reasonable price. Going to skip the clean side separator for now.

http://www.rxspeedworks.com/ is the correct link but elite makes catch cans also

Post I quoted seemed to claim that as a knock off and crazy price for a catch can. Never paid that on my 4th gens or gto.

I thought someone said RXspeedworks is an imposter company using the RX design but making cans in China?

 

I agree I found the original "RX" by searching Rev Xtreme and I called them and spoke with Tracy direct so I know it's the right company. I'd say if you're in the market for an RX can, call them and verify how to get their can.

Do you have the number for them? With the site down I dont see that as an option.

RX performance Parts LLC. and RX Speed Works and Rev extreme are all the same co. The Director of R&D is Tracy Lewis. Check out the youtube videos that he does.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
