  1. How about a quick/short LED headlight flicker thread?

    It only seems to work with the headlights on "auto" mode, but I guess that is to be expected.
  2. Led Headlight bulbs

    I have these fog lights and they are pretty good. If there is any drawback to them, it is that they can get somewhat out-of-sync with their color. Occasionally, one bulb may be white and the other bulb may be yellow at the same time. You can fix this by rapidly blinking the fog lights on and...
  3. How about a quick/short LED headlight flicker thread?

    Yeah, it's an infrequent and fast/slight blink. Though I don't think they are working at all as DRLs.
  4. How about a quick/short LED headlight flicker thread?

    Hi, all. I am sure that, for those of you who have done an LED upgrade on your non-Lariat models, you like the upgrade as much as I do, and that it is an awesome value. I have searched these forums for "flicker", but not a whole lot has been said on the matter, except that the inline modules...
  5. Catch can question for possibly monitoring turbo health

    So far, the catch cans that are specific direct-fits for our 2019 Rangers are all single-valve cans. We can modify some of the cans to be dual-valve cans to allow for crankcase vapor evacuation whether at idle or while accelerating. But for both conditions, we are really only getting an...
  6. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    If there is no current solution to add an auxiliary fuel rail for the Ranger's 2.3L ecoboost (i.e., if the options for the mustang will not fit), then I imagine that it will be available eventually and before super significant coking occurs. So, we can just add the port injection kit of our...
  7. Led Headlight bulbs

    I think you are right about the slight flickering on startup, and the difference between the halogens and the LEDs (with their difference in startup times, etc). Giving the fog light button a bunch of really quick presses on and off does tend to get them back in sync with regard to their color...
  8. Led Headlight bulbs

    I am experiencing this as well with the same lights. Sometimes they come on with the same color. But if they don't, it seems almost impossible to get them to go back to being the same color. These are great fog lights, but if I cannot figure out a fix for this issue, then I'm probably just...
  9. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    I'm interested in hearing what made you come to this conclusion. The PCV system is only comprised of a baffle plate and plastic PCV valve. The baffle in the plate is only a single and small baffle. Personally, I am pretty unimpressed with it. It will definitely let oil pass through and into...
  10. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    That is not the only problem that can occur when you have vaporized/atomized oil entering your intake along with air. Oil in the air-fuel mixture will make it more susceptible to detonation under compression. It is a major factor when LSPI occurs. My Focus ST died because of a PCV failure...
  11. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    That is the pcv baffle plate that contains the pcv valve inside of it. the pcv valve is a one-way valve that allows pressure in the crank case to exit (and pass through the valve and the plate) and to be returned to the intake manifold. The separator plate has a single baffle inside of it so...
  12. Looking for a video or tutorial on how to remove the intake manifold

    Hi, all. I want to install a radium baffle plate and pcv valve on my Ranger. With my 15 Focus ST, it was no problem for me to get the intake manifold off rather quickly. Being front wheel drive, it was right up front and had very little in the way. On the Ranger, it's on the right side and...
  13. talked with my dealers service manager today about the direct injection

    Here, you only have to hook their computer up to your OBD2 port. They don't do any visual inspection, and you can even go to self-serve kiosks to do the emissions testing. So as long as it doesn't mess up the sensor readings and throw lights, you're good to go.
  14. talked with my dealers service manager today about the direct injection

    Yes. I live in the People's Republik of Maryland, where you are a slave to the state in every way imaginable!
  15. talked with my dealers service manager today about the direct injection

    The Radium baffle plate and PCV valve are being delivered tomorrow. I'm not sure if I'll install it when it arrives, or if I'll wait until the weekend, but it's going on there ASAP. I'm going to take a ton of pictures, partly because Radium hasn't had an opportunity to install it on one of our...
  16. talked with my dealers service manager today about the direct injection

    Also note, as I said earlier in the thread, that the vaporized oil will make the air-fuel mixture more susceptible to detonation under compression, so that increases the risk of knocking or even LSPI. That's one thing that the article (that you quoted) is missing.
  17. talked with my dealers service manager today about the direct injection

    That's the baffle plate that works in conjunction with the PCV valve. Your ranger already has it.
  18. talked with my dealers service manager today about the direct injection

    Edit: The catastrophic engine failure was in my 2015 Focus ST. I was leaving work and a detonation cracked the piston in cylinder #2. That engine still made it 34 miles home! I'm definitely going to miss that car, but I still love my Ranger.
  19. talked with my dealers service manager today about the direct injection

    So, how is not "driving like a granny" going to help with keeping the backs of the intake valves cleaner? It's direct injection, so you are not getting fuel detergents passing across the backs of the intake valves. Also, driving it more aggressively is not going to make the PCV valve and...
