I just got the PM this morning. Sorry for the late response.

 

There is a normal amount of rock with the 1.390" UPR Plug n Play filler neck fitting due to the valve cover design. I just want to be sure no one received the smaller

earlier GM unit see details below.

 

If you guys can take a quick measurement on the bottom of the UPR Plug n Play filler neck fitting and let me know what the size is to make sure you have the correct fitting.

 

The diameter should be 1.390" for the 14+ trucks. If you have the 1.320" that is for the earlier GM I will get it corrected right away.

 

Thank you, Joe

Hi Joe,

 

So I got the newer plug n play filler neck fitting for my '16 and installed it. But the fitting is really loose. And can you take a look at my videos and see if this is normal, because when my oil cap is on, there is no to little movement in any direction.

Mine doesn't do that. All my play comes from the flimsy plastic fill neck. Did you tighten with a wrench? I had to use a wrench on mine and it had almost a "click" when fully seated. Definitely a positive feel when fully tightenend. Also I believe Joe mentioned it earlier but I think the tracks are two different sizes to fit the tabs inside the neck. Maybe it's on backwards? Mine only fit one way though, just throwing out ideas.

Mine would only go in one way too. Turned it until it slid into the hole and I had to use a wrench on it to turn it, couldnt do it by hand. Turned it til it stopped, didnt feel a "click", maybe I need to turn it a little harder? I didnt want to break anything.

A click isn't the right way to describe it I guess. All I know is I was sure it was fully seated and turned until I felt it stop and flex the fill tube a bit. I don't think you can break anything gently tightening until you are sure it's seated. Maybe yours has a smaller o-ring? We will have to see what Joe says about the videos.

Not to jack your thread but got mine installed :) Did you do anything for the drain? Added anything to it?

Black kit looks great! I haven't done anything for a drain yet. I've emptied it a few times now since installing and just use a water bottle cut in half. Last time I actually just folded the water bottle over and stuffed it down under the can and put the lid back on when I was done draining. Haven't felt a big need to add something to the drain yet but a piece of hose might make positioning the bottle easier. Would just need a hose barb for the valve, 1/4" npt if I remember correctly, and a piece of rubber hose.

The newer UPR Plug n Play™ Filler Neck has that movement because there is not top for it to secure against like the oil cap and is normal. The O-ring allows for the slight movement and if it's made too tight

the interference can damage the factory locator tabs in the oil fill neck.

 

PM me for any questions.

Anyone have pictures of the catch can install with either a CAI or MIT?

Anyone with a cold air intake can post their pictures up. I will post pictures of the all the parts with descriptions that the UPR GM Plug n Play™ Catch Can System with CSS for Cold Air Intake Equipped GM Trucks. I will get them posted Monday and answer any questions anyone has. Have a Great Weekend.

 

Thank you, Joe

    • Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day. 
    • Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
    • The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
    • I had a boat for many years, never had a problem even with a 2 wheel drive 93 Silvy for 20 years. Good tires, proper use of the gas pedal worked.
    • I read through that and I won't lie, my eyes rolled at some of the quirks about how it can turn off the trailer braking for example but I can see how it could help control or even up the torque applied to the ground with each wheel in a boat ramp scenario. But of course what it can't do is increase the torque to the wheels if the need is there as it ends up being like driving the four wheel drive version of a two wheel drive ( high range that is ). So far the neighbor that ended up with the 3.0 duramax with the max tow package which meant the 3.73 gears and high range only, I think its been doing ok for what he has been towing but doubt he ventures off into the soft stuff with his holiday trailer. He may have towed his dads river boat locally with it ( he always used his 6.6 duramax before ), I'll have to ask him sometime if he got into a lack of power to the wheels situation as after all that engine produces a lot of torque at low speed once the turbo winds out a bit and I think it has the 10 speed and if so they have a pretty good first gear ratio at 4.70 I see which is vastly better than the 3 or four speed overdrive models of years ago.
