J&L Bronco 2.7 Oil Separator Installed

[hand-filer]

Based on information exchanged with J&L, they felt the 2.7 Bronco and Ranger could be a compatible fit. Emphasis on "could be".
In order for a perfect fit, I shortened the inlet hose by 4'' and the exit hose by 2''. I'm not sure why that is as the trucks look to be identical under the hood.
If you're not comfortable messing with a direct fit assembly, I would hold off until they release a Ranger 2.7 specific kit.
They're great to deal with.

I want to install one but I live in a cold climate. I'm worried about the can or the hoses freezing up from Condensation.

Am I nuts?

No you are not nuts. The contents in the can will freeze.

Will it cause harm?

I had a catch can on my Mustang. I never saw any water in mine, Just oil.

While they definitely produce more moisture in cold winter climates, there are enough volatile byproducts in there as well to prevent the contents from freezing. I placed the can outside one night on a -30C day. The contents were still in a liquid state the following morning.

It doesn't get cold enough in San Fran for that to be an issue.

These guys did not offer one iota of proof that the contents freezes. See post #6.
If you live in a cold climate, check the contents weekly.

After having installed the J&L (Bronco 2.7) plug & play catch can I quickly realized that the location made checking the contents a pita.
J&L sent me new fittings and I went to work on relocating it. These guys are great to work with.
They need a donor vehicle to confirm fitment. Anyone in the Chesapeake, VA area with a 2.7 Ranger?

They are great. I had their second gen titan v8 can on my 2017 nissan titan. It was perfect
