Catch Can!

[LokiWolf]

Thanks for the reply Loki. I bought it used with 34k miles on it and take it to the dealer for all maintenance (got the maintenance package for it). I doubt they'd stop doing maintenance if I install a catch can, but I don't want a warranty hassle if there's an engine failure (water pump, turbo, other).

It's actually at the dealer now getting maintenance and warranty work done. I asked the service manager to see if he can give me an answer on a catch can voiding warranty, and asked him to check with the engine techs to see if they have any experience with them.

That is the best approach! Every service department is different. Mine doesn’t care.

And this is why I’ll never buy a truck w eco boost.

Silly Machete! I had a catch can on my '97 Z28. LOL

If it was $300, maybe even $350, I probably would have gotten it over the JLT. But at $150, I get a quality made can that I have to empty more often.

I bought mine for around $350.00 but I got a better deal because I bought 2 kits. The other kit was for my cousins F150. I could see where it would be more of a no-brainer to buy this kit especially if you were in a really cold climate and even had to worry about the can freezing up from too much water in it. But in my climate (MD) it’s not as big of a deal with only a couple months of cold weather.

Would have gone for the RXP for $350, but still might not, because I don’t think I should have to pay $100 extra for Aluminum vs Plastic, especially at that price point. Again, good stuff, just overpriced.

Bottom line, get a catch can of some sort if you have a 15-17 EB Powered Expy. Just a good level of easy insurance.

Cold weather seems worse.

I drained my JLT can 18 Dec 19 and again yesterday. Less than 300 miles and the can had 1/2" of milky liquid in the bottom. Coffee with cream looking.

Since installing this 6300 miles ago I've drained about 10 ounces from it. And one time a few months ago the can was completely full so I don't know really how much went straight past the can. (Date data misplaced but I recorded the amount.)

And the only other Motor I mentioned was a Ford Motor and is NOT an EcoBoost.

Your logic for not getting a EcoBoost is flawed!

My logic is that it’s illogical to place a teeny weeny 6 cylinder and force air through it to compensate for its teeny weeny di...

Then add to that stupidity they direct inject gas into the combustion chambers and the valve train gets bathed in milky gunky goo. Ergo da catch can.

All this in a TRUCK. WTF?

Please note the new 7.3 gasser is not a VVT but a good ole pusher w single cam UNLIKE the teeny weeny v6 economy boost motor.
Just sayin

The 7.3L Godzilla engine DOES have Variable Cam Timing via camphaser

Read into the new 7.3L and you will also see it is already outfitted for easy addition of Direct Injection in the coming years. That’s right, the engineers already designed the engine and made placement for its addition. Direct injection will come to this engine in addition to the VCT. It’s not an old 460 whether one likes it or not...

I have followed its development since the beginning on SVT performance with Ford racing insiders as providers. I’ve also talked to 5Star Tuning about this engine, they have ordered 3 of them and it produces great gains with its VCT and software with their programs. This engine has the ability to also advance ignition timing to take advantage of higher octane fuels.....Direct Injection will come.

You entertain me immensely.

You bring up a Motor from the Super Duty line as an example. Something that will never be used in a 1/2 Ton SUV. The example you used before the HEMI, You were wrong about...can’t even stick to your original talking points.

If I was buying another 250(Which by the way I owned for 11 Years) I would consider a 7.3, but would most likely do the 6.7L Diesel...cause well Diesel and Turbo!

EVERY Modern engine with a PCV system has the gunk...so not really something you can blame on 2 less cylinders or the Turbo. The DI is an issue, but the Gen 2 EB’s solve that by adding PI also(best of both worlds). The DI is yet again not the 2 less cylinders or the Turbo’s fault.

It’s like you are defined by the number of cylinders in your vehicle.

I am VERY happy with my weeny V6 with 2 Turbos, in both my SUV’s. Nothing in their class can run with them under pretty much any circumstances! Both Towing and around the town. Plus easy to make even quicker.

If you don’t like the EB motors kindly move on out of a thread dedicated pretty much to the EB.
