I did a small 5 minute drive and put it in my garage. Put a hair dryer on it for 15 minutes and filled half a bottle as well. Mainly water. Hopefully that was my issue. It would only die when in park before. 

Jon,

 

Reposition the catch can off the Brake fluid reservoir and use bracket towards the engine to mount it AS close as possible to engine...make sure your lines going from catch can are positioned short as possible and laying on engine....this is your problem and once you do this your stalling will not happen anymore.....Yes, the 490 RPM's on the Drive idle is ridiculous and Blackbear tune is probably the way to go and have remapped up higher at full operating temperature's.... I plan on doing the latter myself as for my catch can I live in Phoenix so placement only for dumping cans was my concern.  Good Luck!

got a little update on the truck... it almost stalled again today... saw the rpm was moving alot up and down... and it was at the same place it did it the first time... in a driveway the truck tilted to the right side... tank is full so what could be the problem... i think its almost imposible that if the catch can froze that it does it two time exactly at the same place in the same driveway... will call the dealer tomorow but im pretty sure they wont do anything since there is no chek engine light

No problems the last few times driving.  Had my catch can for a few years and never had the issue mounted by the secondary battery spot. I know a lot mount them to the brake booster but I'm not a fan of that spot. If I have issues I may try that though. Appreciate the help.

No problem....Let's not get stubborn what kind of catch can?  Having a decent Diameter hoses will almost certainly relieve the issue your having which is probably the hoses freezing up with moisture......I reckon it's cold where you live now with temperatures not seen in the years that catch can has been installed......Get er done move the can and ensure decent hoses large diameter straddling the engine all this for cold climates.

well found out the problem the hard way... the catch can was freezing itself shut probably the upr check valve and was causing to mutch crank case pressure... we just found ou today with the dealer and for the first time oil came out of the crank case seal so first i hope its not busted and second if yes i hope it goes under waranty.... if not ill have to pay... the catch can is remove and i will instal it back at the summer and maybe change the hose with one without chek valve

Great story and thanks for coming back to confirm that it was the catch can. What does a dealership do when an aftermarket part causes unintended problems? Do they flag your warranty in the system and deny your warranty claim if there is some real engine problem later on?

i dont think they will do they told me to put the truck back to stock and chek if the crank seal leak again if yes they will changed it so i think im safe... im just wondering if i keep the valve cover vent hose to the intake and put only the two dirty side line to the catch can even if the can freeze i should not have problem with too mutch pressure in the crank case am i corect?

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
