Hi Jeff, Our negotiated contract with UPS is for ground shipping, and what you were quoted is what they charge us to ship to you, we do not make profit on shipping - this kit is actually about 7 lbs. Please PM me your address so I can pass it on to customer service and see what other options we...

@Mokume Hi Jeff, I'm sorry for the frustration you've experienced from this. The exceptions to the free shipping should be more clear on our website and I have asked our IT department to update the header text to reflect that. If you'd like, I can talk to our customer service team and see if...

Like @DavidR said, we do not currently have a catch can on the CCV side due to the fact that the hose needs to be cut to be removed and must then be discarded. Aside from not wanting to ask our customers to permanently modify part of their vehicle, this could be considered modification of the...

That would be an interesting test! My gut says it wouldn't change much as a lot of the oil that's in blow-by isn't vaporized by heat but rather is oil from the cylinder walls that gets pushed past the rings during compression/combustion and mists as it pushes into the crankcase. But either way...

Our truck is still pretty low mileage, so it was still on the factory fill of Motorcraft 5W-30 :) It's very accessible once installed, it sits just in front of the upper rad support Thanks! -Steve

Hi John, Sorry about that, looks like there was an issue with uploading the guide to the website. Here's the video guide: Thanks, -Steve

Hey everybody, We're excited to share that this can can kit is now on pre-sale! Click here to check it out on our website and check out the final post in our R&D to see what our catch can caught. Thanks! -Steve Free to Roam – Catch Can R&D, Part 3: Test Results Our 2019+ Ford Ranger has...

Hi Rich, the hoses and fittings supplied with this kit will be a regular nitrile hose with the OEM quick-disconnects on the engine side and our push-on hose barbs on the catch can side. We do offer an adapter to run AN lines with our catch cans (which can be found here), so you could purchase...

Unfortunately, @RCMUSTANG is most likely correct. We're very small potatoes to FoMoCo and it's unlikely that they'll endorse a product that addresses an issue affecting their flagship engines. But, you can always buy one when your warranty runs out ;) I'll be posting the results from our...

Hey everybody, We have another update on this catch can kit for you. Check it out below and let us know what you think! Thanks, -Steve Free to Roam – Catch Can R&D, Part 2: Design The 2.3L EcoBoost in the 2019+ Ranger was designed to preserve the earth so that you can roam it freely for...

We've had a lot of warranty work done at different dealerships, including Ford for our Mustangs, F-150s, Focus RS, Fiesta ST, and our Powerstrokes with catch cans installed. Never had an issue. Many dealers know how they work and are fine with catch cans. Now, if you rig a compressor filter or...

It's not often that we need to, and we've never had to with Ford specifically, but we have talked to other makes' dealerships on behalf of the customer in the past. We can only provide information to the dealer, however, so in the end if the dealership really wants to deny the warranty work and...

Could you share the documentation from Ford in which they've researched and concluded that the 2.3L EcoBoost does not accumulate carbon on the valves? Thanks! -Steve

There's no need to do a 300k mile test on the Ranger. There's nothing that separates the 2.3L EcoBoost from any other DI engine that's been studied for the past 10+ years. Without dual injection, or some method for cleaning the valves, any blow-by that gets into the intake is going to build up...

Carbon buildup on DI engines is a very real, studied, and documented issue whose main cause is oil and fuel deposits on the valves, primarily from blow-by. Here's a good, independent article on DI carbon buildup and how it's being studied...

It's carbon buildup on a VW intake port and valves. That one is probably the worst I've seen in a properly maintained engine and it was having some misfire / low power issues. The valves on my GTI were about half that bad when I cleaned them and I gained a few lb-ft of torque after the cleaning...

Sorry for the late reply! We've noticed that our truck doesn't like code starts and it actually threw a code for "injector 1 performance". After doing some research we found that there's a TSB for that code and symptoms and that many owners are having injectors replaced. The official Ford TSB...

Very good points @DavidR ! I don't disagree with anything you said; I would just clarify on the point of warranties. It's very unlikely that a dealership will deny a claim unless the issue is very clearly tied to the catch can. In the cases we've seen, an email to corporate or just going to a...

Hey everybody, It sounds like all of the points that I would make have already been made, so thanks! :like: Like others have said, the biggest issue is not the burning of blow-by, but what it does to the valves and everything before the cylinder. Without dual-injection like the new-gen 3.5L...

Thank you for the great feedback! This catch can will be a little easier to access than the 15+ EcoBoost Mustang catch can, so hopefully the drain kit won't be necessary. Yes you can! You will catch more water vapor in the winter as @Jim C mentioned, but you shouldn't have a problem in those...
