No critter that I know of. Just the dry NM heat eats everything. I barely noticed the dry rot when I started this project.

They must of shortened the battery brackets or the 18's hoods are higher than the 17's. Because the battery bracket I recieved was to tall.

Correct. The Battery bracket will not work on the 15-17, but will on the 18+.
Vinny is TOP notch. Great guy!
He sent me the kit, with a discount to convert my kit from the 17 to the Battery mount to fit the 20. Going to get it installed this weekend.

JLT sends the firewall mounting kit with with the 2018+ Expedition catch cans. Hopefully, this will change going forward as Vinny asked for me to confirm fitment. I sent him the same pics I posted here. If in doubt just order the F150 kit which will come with longer hoses.

Once your done drilling the hole for the second bolt for the bracket, I drilled another hole for the wiring harness clip to go back into in front of the bracket. Makes it a clean looking install.
Same. He was looking for me to do mine last weekend. I installed the new kit on my Explorer ST, but ran out of time to do it on the Expedition, but I did test the height. Like you determined, it is the way to go. SO much easier to get to it there vs the firewall!

How much oil is normal for an engine to eat on a given car? I had to vertical mount a pcv on an ls1 because that setup dowsed the engine with so much oil it caused knock retard I could see on a laptop scanner. Is the expy pcv horizontally mounted? How big an issue is this?
any word on being hassled about warranty over this mod? I have an extended ford warranty and sure don’t want to fight because I put an oil catch can on.

If you have a warranty issue the hoses are quick disconnect, and the can removable. Throw the old hose on and take it in. However, why would there be an issue about improving engine reliability over the long term when you are trying to prevent GDI valve coking?
While not as big an issue on the Gen 2 Ecoboost, it’s still an issue. If you look at the pics I’ve uploaded you can see the connections and the mounting solution. With the battery box mount the hoses allow the engine cover to be installed and the hoses come out the side.
As for how much oil to expect, it depends on humidity and driving style. I’m expecting about an ounce or less of captured oil and condensation at my 5k mile oil change interval, but I drive relatively easy with no towing and live in an arid climate. The stuff that I’ve seen come out of the can makes me want to prevent it going back into my engine.
