Finally a render with mirrors on it! Most OEMs forget to add mirrors to early renders and auto-show prototypes.
Last I had heard is that there was "Something" being changed for 2021 -- this was from about February.
Anyone got info on a possible new model code/program number? From what i see...
For reverse tilt on the OSMs you need memory actuators in the mirrors -- basically they have a potentiometer to sense their position, while external modules can record what the value is and control the actuator to get it back to that value. Since the Ranger doesnt have a door module, there's no...
Question for you about those LEDs you put in the grille. You said you tied them into the marker lights, so when are those LEDs on? Also any lighting for the rear?
Good point about the training! I wonder if you can actually just take the valves out so you could do something like clean them by hand? (or at least without specialized tools) TBH if there is a way at all to clean them, then really the point of a catch can seems to go away, as like Floyd keeps...
With previous Ford DI engines which had buildup issues there were no cleaning options for the valves, only replacing the entire valve unit. The guy in the video i linked previously commented about that. Not sure why, it might just be that they had yet to test and approve any methods of cleaning...
For me it's a lot like 5000 mile oil changes. The owners manual says only to change the oil every 10,000 miles, but if your oil is getting dirty after 5000 it's clearly beneficial to change the oil (And as a side note, it is important to point out that SAE study i linked found that whatever was...
Perhaps you should read through your own comments before complaining about someone who is just pointing out your blatant attempt to misconstru others arguments.
no, because your "consensus" pushes the logic of our arguement to the extreme rather than what we are saying which is "A catch can will extend the life of your vehicle over a long time." It is not entirely imperative if you dont care for lifespan.
A catch-can potentially violates emissions...
I think it's also worth pointing out that Ford sells a catch can for the 2.3l ecoboost engine.
And of course, a strawman argument. because clearly we're all saying your engine will explode in 2000 miles if you dont use a catch can. You also neglect a scholarly article published by SAE, as...
Considering that ford is moving from DI to a combination of DI and PFI, yes.
I am not claiming Ford's engineers to be incompetent or incapable of solving the buildup issues PCV systems cause, those are all your words. Adding more parts to a vehicle which then need to be serviced regularly, and...
It's almost like we need a society of engineers from the automotive industry to do some testing on how much impact the PCVs have on buildup... oh wait...
Here is a good video presenting some info on an oil catch can.
The study he references is from SAE: "Formation of Intake Valve Deposits in...
