Replaced the evap canister and found a pinched hard plastic line so I replaced it with a fuel line hose. I hope this finally fixes the random evap dtc’s. I didn’t get pics so it may not have actually happened.
do you remember the ticket I got up there? anyway I went to pay it online and it wouldn't come up in the system, so I called the courthouse up there to see if i could pay it over the phone, they couldn't find it either so they told me to send a copy of it to them, so I mailed a copy to them, they sent me a letter back all courthouse stamped up and everything and said the cop never turned it in or it was lost and that since 30 days or 60 days whatever the time limit was had passed that basically the officer would have to ticket me again in person and that I didn't have to pay it and it wouldn't be on my driving record. lol

I was looking at trying to recycle my old radiator and decided to pull the plastic tanks off, leaving the aluminum core to take in. I also wanted to see what the oil and trans coolers looked like. It’s a super simple design and from what I see, not prone to failure. The only way for them to leak would be if you ran something other than dexcool that would corrode the internal coolers. They reside in the end tanks and there’s no internal connections. They looked stainless at first glance but they are ferrous since my magnet stuck to them. If you look in their intakes/ outlets you can see baffles. They’re also pretty damn heavy, combining for probably half the total weight of the radiator. I don’t feel like I had any need to replace it at 160k miles but there was no way of knowing.

I'm glad to know they have that many plates. Always thought they had three or four at most. They could be stainless as some grades of SS is magnetic (refrigerator doors, for example).

Baddest catch can in the history of catch cans. [emoji16][emoji106][emoji631]

The plastic chrome edges on the ‘15 style fobs bothered me so I ordered all black housings off EBay for about $8 each and was pleasantly surprised that those edge parts are metal on these. Plus no logo on the back. Plus did I say NOT chrome lol.
Now, you need to engrave “The Beast” on the fobs.. [emoji16][emoji106]

There was no option for remote start for 02. I’m pretty sure that started in 07 for the SUV’s. I bought the same fob except with remote start for my 08 Silverado though.

Installed the catch can today. I can’t find instructions for my application on the clean side separator so I’m waiting to hear from Elite on that. First here’s some shots of the can’s insides and hardware. It’s what they call a 3 chamber design- the first is the middle upper where the gases enter and that’s where the stainless steel scrubber is. Then the oil drops down into the lower main chamber where it stays. The third chamber is to the upper outer around the first chamber. That’s where the mostly clean air goes for a final chance to rid contaminants before exiting to the intake manifold or CAI.

The main chamber is huge and it has a 1/4 -turn valve on the bottom so it’s super easy to drain. No turning and turning on those knurled valves. The mounting hardware is all billet- the main clamp and the bracket itself. Bolts appear to be high quality.

One of the main reasons I went with this catch can was it’s dual outputs. With a FI engine, you lose vacuum under boost and the can stops functioning even if you install a check valve. Under boost the vacuum becomes boost and most cans even with a check valve just stop working. I’m not sure but it seems that without a check valve the can could become pressurized under boost. This design has a second output which hooks to the CAI with a check valve so whichever output has the most vacuum gets the cleaned air. If you don’t have a vacuum source the cans don't work and this design makes sure the can functions at all times. My CAI had come from Whipple and had a plug in the tube where I wanted to hook up an output. The hole was too big so I bought an adapter from Ace and hooked it up. The back of the Whipple intake had a quick connect and that’s where the other output went. The intake went to the DS valve cover PCV connection. I mounted the can in a great spot where it’s visible and it’s easy to access the drain. It came with optional braided line and I used heat shrink where I cut it and installed the spring clamps or AN fittings.
