As I’ve thoght about how a catch can integrates in with the system I can see where there could be issues with a can increasing back pressure if not designed exactly correct for a given engine. Not sure what all of the consequences might be? If the crank case is not properly vented oil could...
I’m not sure how one can conclude that engineers at Ford didn’t think it was needed. As someone who spent his career in engineering and product development I would say the odds are very high that it was the accountants who didn’t think it was needed. You would probably be surprised at the...
I realize I’m replying to an old post but I didn’t know what a catch can was for either and I really didn’t understand the answer given above. This video gives a great explanation. I guess I need a picture to understand things!

Definitely looks like a weak lemon law! Still worth arbitration arguing that it’s unreasonable to expect 4 oil changes in the first 12 months. Otherwise it sounds like you may become an ex-Ford customer!
I did a little digging and found out that Ford’s warranty costs have become a point of...
You guys have reminded me of my two Ford nightmares. I wish there was a midsize truck that I really liked made by a company I could trust to stand behind it. Good luck on this - at least it sounds like your dealer is trying.
I think someone is giving you the runaround. True, in Wisconsin the dealer gets 4 tries but I would argue problem only has to be reported within the first year - to an arbitrator if necessary. All of the service attempts should not need to occur in the first year. Who is telling you otherwise...
Invoking the lemon law would be a lot less expensive than leasing just to see if it’s a keeper. Agree the NHTSA won’t take action until they see it as an issue that effects many, but if no one complains they’ll never know. The lemon law only takes one vehicle but could get sticky Ford tries...
After 66 pages of comments it doesn’t look like this has been solved nor is there a TSB or recall. Wondering why no one has taken the lemon law approach (typically dealer gets 3 tries then Ford gets a try) or filed a safety complaint with the NHTSA? I’ve been seriously considering a Ranger...
Please forgive the completely naive question...how Is it your new wheel/tire combo is further back than stock? I’m still learning about offset etc so I’m most likely missing something. Seems the stock wheels and the new wheels are both 17X8 with the only difference being 40 mm less offset in...
