2,200 miles isn't, but 14 months is! She's at the dealer now getting serviced + some warranty complaints.

My first catch can measurement. I installed a can at my previous oil change 35,000mi (I always change oil every 5000mi). When I did my oil change a few days ago 40,000mi, I measured three quarters of an ounce with no goop just oil. My only regret is that I didn't know about catch cans sooner.

I have a JLT catch cannot sitting on the shelf waiting for install. Definitely need to get it done.

My truck has a “crankshaft rod knock” (I don’t know enough about engine internal anatomy to really know more, this is all a follow up to the cylinder 6 misfire I had about a month ago that got fixed with a new coil, but still ran and sounded like shit afterwards) and the dealer plans replace with new long block. The service contract company’s adjuster is coming out out this week to start the whole process.
I was too worried they’d try to blame the catch can or use it as an excuse to not cover anything, so I zipped out this morning and pulled it off. Fingers crossed they don’t try to screw me over.

What does that have to do with anything? The point is, that installing one stops this from ending up in the intake, and decreases build up on the valves.

Man oh man, was the Ford tech that replaced my engine pissed about me putting my can back on. Said there’s nothing wrong with ford’s design, too many people reading stupid forums, blah blah blah. Said I’m going to burn up my new engine running that and I should bring it back to stock. Didn’t know what to say, just let him rant. 
It clearly catches a bunch of junk that would obviously get routed directly back into the intake. Don’t see how you could argue that’s a good thing.

Ford tech is a trained parts changer not a mechanic that is paid to think.Man oh man, was the Ford tech that replaced my engine pissed about me putting my can back on.

I'm glad the 5.4 doesn't need one of these, but every other part of the engine is problematic 
Every engine made with a PCV system can benefit with a can.I'm glad the 5.4 doesn't need one of these, but every other part of the engine is problematic

It'd benefit more from new phasers and solenoids. Coming soon, along with all the other stuff, and a new Melling HV oil pump.
