Did you specify in your order to them that you wanted the upgraded hoses or fittings?

No and neither did the other member.

When I ordered mine, I ordered the standard hoses. And thats what I got. I realized that they weren't what I wanted so instead of crying about about it, I did something about it and purchased different hoses from JEGs to fit my needs.

 

So..... you got what you ordered. Standard hoses. If you want thicker hoses, then order them and quit complaining about Elite sending you the wrong ones.

 

Edit: I also left a link what type of hose to use in another post. Here it is again.

Was the CSS decided upon based on your research? I'm sold on the e2x but not yet convinced on the additional apparatus. It seems to be more for forced induction and/or "sporty" type vehicles that are driven harder than a truck typically is. I have no problem paying for it if it is useful or a good idea. What I detect here, however, is folks getting the CSS just because it came with the kit. Maybe they didn't know the e2x can be had without?

I honestly didnt even realize it came with the CSS until i recieved it. I did install it but its essentially pointless in my case as I never go WOT. It's on though "just in case".

Would you have purchased (extra $100) had you known?

Probably not, unless somebody could convince me it was worth it.

 

Thanks!.

 

I have it my head that single out e2x without css is the way to go. If anyone sees a flaw in my logic please weigh in.

 

If someone wanted to go whole hog, so to speak, css to one side of the airbox (I don't intend to install any tube) and second exit port to the other side would be the way.

 

Thanks to all for posting.

Next step would be getting proper hose for the project. The vendor apparently can not be relied upon to supply same.

      Winter Returned

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
