My catch can fills up around 1000 miles.

Then why do you support a company that you know puts out poor quality?

Every car manufacturer has these types of issues. This is not unique to Ford! Read any other car Forums recently?

I do things to push the performance and capability of my vehicles, so I do extra things to protect them. Seems like a pretty simple concept.

If you think anything Toyota or Lexus builds is competition for the Expedition, then it's not even worth debating with you. Apples and oranges for a plethora of reasons. Other comments you made I agree with. If a vehicle costs $68k as in the case of my 17 Expy's original purchase price, it had damn well better make it through 100k miles without any serious issues. I sold my 05 F350 diesel after 100k miles. I had plowed with it in Mass winters every year that I had it. After that "abuse" I ended up in the end having only two issues with it. One after a week. The spring clamp that held the lower radiator hose cracked causing a drip of a/f. A worm clamp and five minutes later it never bothered me again. The second problem pissed me off, but all in all, being the only other issue I won't really complain. The rear backing plates rotted so bad the e-brake cable popped off and Ford wouldn't do anything about it.

Yeah, the newer kits mount near/in the Battery box area. There is actually a kit to retrofit the older style to this one.

Originally I thought they showed inside fender, but Your right! There calling for it to mount on the top inside flange or lip of the battery box. I just went at took a look, it appears it would sit pretty high, in fact I'm not sure the hood will clear? Has anyone installed one yet with this new bracket?

I have seen it on 150, but haven’t seen it on Expy.

If you stop at 4:05 you can see how high this sits above the top of the battery.

Yeah it's not going to clear when the hood closes, without crushing the insulation. I just clamped it into place and took this picture. I tried to get a picture with the hood down resting on the latch, there was maybe an inch gap above it. And the hood still needed to close, approximately 3 more inches. I tried about five times to get a picture with the hood ajar but I could not dial it in. With all that room to the rear I'm wondering why they didn't make the bracket go towards the firewall?

I just called JLT, and they are aware of the problem. They are going to send me out the old style bracket, the 10mm nut, and a couple of the dress up caps. In case I want to shorten the hoses to the correct length. Apparently the new bracket fits the F150's but not the Expedition's.

A little work with a jigsaw and you can cure that pesky access problem when comes time to drain it.
