  1. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    I'm not impressed with the JLT kits. Had them on a couple 07 Mustangs, and they didn't catch much. It seemed that a lot more oil was getting through than was getting caught. Probably a reason theirs is one of the cheapest around. I have a different one on my 2015 that catches quite a bit...

    Hey Rockweiler, did the install instructions for your swing-out toolboxes happen to call out the mounting bolt size/threads? I want to install my bed extender from my F250 (it's adjustable width, and I can get it narrowed down to fit my Ranger) and want to utilize one of the threaded holes to...

    Call them. I've always had good luck getting to Icon by phone and getting my questions answered.
  4. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    Yep, you're right, sorry I was wrong on that progression. Still, not having fuel washing the intake valves does cause them to coke over time, and the Ranger will have that issue with the Direct Injection. Whether or not to address it with a catch can is up to each owner, as they are a pain to...
  5. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    "Everyone" was wrong, because the early 3.5L EcoBoost had Port Injection, which washed the oil pushed through the intake off the intake valves, making an oil catch can unnecessary on your 2011. Around 2014, I believe, it was changed to Direct Injection, and once there was no more fuel to wash...

    Looking good. That's gonna be a sweet setup, especially with the ICON kit. :sunglasses:
  7. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    It's a cost issue. Manufacturers have to slowly implement added costs, because ultimately, it gets passed on to consumers. Frankly, EVERY EcoBoost motor in Ford's lineup should have both port and direct injection. It will happen, but unfortunately it will take some time. I had heard, a good...

    I think the reason you don't hear a lot about them is because of the price. Their products are a bit more expensive but very high quality.

    I love Icon's products. Made a world of difference on my Super Duty on rough Forest Service roads. If I do decide to lift my Ranger at some point, it will be an Icon kit for sure.
  10. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    The 3.5L since 2018 added port injection back into the motor, so valve "coking" not an issue. The 2.7L & 2.3L only have direct injection, so coking can be an issue. Over time, buildup can occur, decreasing engine efficiency. Issues start becoming noticeable around 100k miles. Up till then, the...
  11. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    I plan to get a catch can once there is something available. I have to drain my 5.0L GT (NA) every 1000 miles - I'm getting about 3 oz every thousand miles. I would check it monthly, noting miles, until you have a good feel for how long you can let it go. Let a catch can overflow, and you've...
