The Good,

Quality first rate.

Easy install.

Mounting location is easy to check canister

 

The Bad

Came missing the 1/2-3/8 adapter.

Hose Clamps ( Personal Preference I like the nut driver / screw driver tightening style )

 

Im old school, would have liked to have had printed instructions instead of having to look them up online.

 

Didn't know where to put the inline check valve... had to find that on the website under the product itself. There was no info in the online instructions for the check valve.

(goes on the exit line)

 

 

 

For the MIT specifically I am going to have to locate a 1/2NPT cap to screw into the bottom portal. The cap they give barely fit, (though it is for the stock airbox) i am worried it will crack and cause a vac leak... ( happened on my drag car more than once plugging up the inlets on the throttle body )

 

Any how, i definately recommend using the washer fluid location... Take the other grey bolt near the tray out instead of a black one (2nd battery tray area ) ( keeps the fungshwey )

Looks great.

 

Mine came in yesterday and didn't come with a check valve? Does yours make a hissing sound?

Check valve is an upgrade option 24$ ... Not required just an option...

 

Didn't notice any hissing ...

While not the OP, mine hissed loudly until I replaced the Goodyear fuel hose with much more rigid quality transmission cooler hose. There is still a minor hiss that is related to suction through them, however, the more the soft fuel hose collapsed, the more hissing it made.

The instructions online sure don't help much for the 5.3.

 

I assume the line that you connect to the side of the catch can is the one that is located on the drivers side valve cover. And then the line that you connect to the top of the catch can is the one that goes under the TB?

I have the exact same set up and was also missing the 1/2 - 3/8 adapter and the snap clamps. Talked to Steve at Elite and says he'll take care of it this coming up week.

 

Were you able to find a 1/2 NPT to cap the bottom portal of the M.I.T.?

Hissing sound is normal. My Elite can does is too.

Pardon my ignorance, but is the installation of the catch can different because of the Airaid Jr? I have had the Airaid Jr in my truck since ~100 miles and I just ordered the Elite catch can 2 days ago. Should I have told them I have the Airaid on?

 

Thanks

Should be the same, unless you added other options. I had the MIT on first and then the catch can was added.

Don't they offer like a clean air kit or breather or some other options like that.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I didn't add any of those. The only upgrade I did is the stainless steel lines. I was just concerned about doing it since I already have the Airaid Jr in here. Hopefully it installs just fine :)

 

Thanks

If all you're doing is adding the Catch Can, you'll be fine. It's when we also added the Clean Air Oil Separator that we ran into a hiccup because of the different hose diameters between the M.I.T. and the Separator. In my case, Steve from Elite took care of the problem and sent out the required piece to make it work; a 1/2 to 3/8 barb adapter.

      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 ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
