  1. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    That's a great build thread and a lot of cool mods! It's probably a lot more than I'll ever do but thanks for posting all that info, and I'm glad I caught the post about the upgraded coils - I've noticed the stumble when cold/ low acceleration and it's nice to know the coils will solve that -...
  2. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    From what I've read, it's also complexity. In colder areas where it will catch a lot of fuel/water condensation, you don't want that to be returned to the engine oil, so cans like that need to be heated, often requiring engine coolant routing, in order to further separate the oil from the...
  3. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    Just curious, which can?
  4. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    The cons are pretty small. One of them is that here in CA, you will likely need to remove the can, connect the two hoses together, and tuck the hoses away somewhere out of view when getting smog checks. That seems a pretty small disadvantage if it helps push the walnut shell blasting out well...
  5. Back up camera - upgrade possible?

    Hey don't let the jokesters getcha down! Some of us just notice stuff like this ;) Our son got a Chevy Volt two months before we got the Ranger and the quality of his backup camera is way better. The difference was noticeable enough that when I first saw the Ranger's, I walked around to make...
  6. Not sure if this is an actual defect or just how the truck sounds.

    My first thought was the turbo as well, as is almost everyone's, but I think it might not be the case for this. I did some more testing and it is 100% correlated with transmission shifts. There is no noise if the transmission is forced into a single gear and then the truck is...
  7. Not sure if this is an actual defect or just how the truck sounds.

    I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but we've had the new Ranger for a week now and I also notice a sound that occurs on letting up off the accelerator, though I would describe it as more of a hiss or whistle than a whine. It lasts for about a second or two and then stops. It's noticeable...
  8. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    There are many different oil separating devices with widely varying designs, and it's difficult to find any kind of controlled comparisons between them. At best, there are some garage-shop comparisons of two or three different brands. After searching around, I found a study published by an...
  9. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    Maybe this deserves its own thread, but since it was mentioned, I've been wondering about this as well. I think the risks are real if you wait 50,000 or 60,000 miles until deposits are significant enough to cause symptoms. By that time, I can believe there is the chance of large enough pieces...
