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...
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...
"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...
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 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.
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...
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...
